Just got my invite for classes today. My new collapsible hoop should be delivered tomorrow. Can't wait to get started!

After a few days of practicing in my garage, I'm starting to see some improvement. I can now walk all around (forward, backward, side to side, around in circles) while waist hooping. Now I'm trying to work on going from waist hooping to lasso and then back down, but it's a challenge for me. I can't seem to get that one down. I'm apparently very fond of whacking myself in the back of the head with the hoop! I've got some beautifully colored bruises on my hips and probably elsewhere. Who knew…

Even though I got my hoop about a week ago, Friday was the first time I had a chance to pick it up after being out of town. The first time I tried to get the hoop going, it fell flat to my feet. I haven't used a hoop since those really cheap ones kids use, and I was only about 8 yrs old. I kinda figured this would happen. I tried again and the same thing happened. The third time was the charm. My body remembered what it had to do to keep the hoop spinning. I started out in my living room,…

I have just decided that I want to try hooping. A lot of my friends love doing it and I love to watch it so I thought I'd give it a try. The only hooping I've ever done was as a kid with those little plastic hoops. Ordered my first hoop and I should have it in today. I can't wait to get started and I hope I eventually become good at it!
