My ugly bruises have healed - Yeah! I have to recommend the wonderful healing jell - oher hoopers suggested: Arnica Jell. I found it at my local health food store - and I think it did help soothe and heal the bruising faster. O.K., so my general waist hooping has improved. I'm more fluid and relaxed - even my husband noticed I'm hooping smoother - not so jerky and spastic. My Progress Week 2: I can waist hoop with ease spinning to the right and to the left. It takes less effort to keep it…See More
Saltwatercowgirl commented on the blog post 'Kiwi: My First Adult Hoop - Day 1'"Thanks for the encouragement - it's good to know bruising is normal. It's been a couple of weeks now, and my bruises are gone. I found some arnica jell that was recommended by another hooper - and it helped heal them…"
Britany commented on the blog post 'Kiwi: My First Adult Hoop - Day 1'"The bruising is normal. For about 3 1/2 weeks my left hip bone felt like I ran and hit the side of a desk. Even today when I hoop I still feel it a little, the pain. It doesn't hurt as much. I think I'm getting used to it. Even the pain…"
Traci "CircularPraise" Bonney replied to the discussion 'Bruising around Waist - Hoop too Heavy?' in the group Hooping over 40"You're welcome. :)
I hoop at my church fellowship hall. I haven't been in the hoop lately as much as I want - scheduling conflicts and stupid little injuries have plagued me for a while now. So I'm not quite as slim as I was in some…"

"Great inspiration - love what you are wearing too....especially those two color ruffle pants - too cute! Did you make them...or buy them somewhere. Someday I want to hoop like you : )"
Saltwatercowgirl replied to the discussion 'In Need of a Utility Belt' in the group Costumes and Clothing"Oh, what an excellent idea! I think I'll try this out...I'm always on the hunt for a good festival/hoop bag."
Saltwatercowgirl replied to the discussion 'Bruising around Waist - Hoop too Heavy?' in the group Hooping over 40"Thanks for all the advice. I live in FL...so actually it's nice hooping weather now. I'll keep my practices shorter, and maybe try out another size hoop - for fun. It's good to know that bruises are normal."
Saltwatercowgirl replied to the discussion 'Bruising around Waist - Hoop too Heavy?' in the group Hooping over 40"Oh, thank you for your help...I'm going to look for arnica cream. I guess I'm using the right size/weight hoop for me...for now. I love watching your videos btw, you've really progressed along greatly- …"

Saltwatercowgirl replied to the discussion 'Bruising around Waist - Hoop too Heavy?' in the group Hooping over 40"Thank you for your hooping insight!"
cinnderr replied to the discussion 'Bruising around Waist - Hoop too Heavy?' in the group Hooping over 40"By all means try out another hoop! And yes to arnica creme/gel. Bruising comes with learning no matter what size hoop. Your body will get used to having a hard plastic wrap around it for hours on end. I usually take a break in the winter, just lack…"

Kiwi: My First Adult Hoop - Day 1

My green and yellow "budget hoop" arrived the other day from Hipster Hoops! After researching all the different weights and sizes, I selected one that's about 41 or 42 inches around, and comes a little above my belly button, and it's 160 psi. I decided to give my hoop the name of "Kiwi" because of the colors: bright green gaffer tape, and yellow vinyl - it just remind me of a yummy ripe kiwi.
