NeZumi (loxaheart) replied to the discussion 'NeZumi - Practice: Day 02' in the group What do you like/What do I need?"Hehe thanks XD My hands are small and my wrists are "fragile". I have the beginnings of carpal tunnel in my left wrist, so I'm hoping that hooping will help work the muscle and strengthen it :)
I was so happy when I lifted the hoop…"
NeZumi (loxaheart) replied to the discussion 'NeZumi - Practice: Day 02' in the group What do you like/What do I need?"Hehe XD I'm having a bit of trouble completely letting loose, I'll keep working on that :D I had to slow down the left hoop-lift off my body (if that makes sense, I just woke up lol).
Thanks! I'm using my Canon Powershot, it's…"

Shannon "Inertia" Sealey replied to the discussion 'NeZumi - Practice: Day 02' in the group What do you like/What do I need?"I love how you just lunge into the moves! You will definitely pick up more advanced moves quickly if you don't hold yourself completely back.... HOWEVER. Slowing down the moves can help to break them down when you are perfecting them, so try…"
NeZumi (loxaheart) commented on the blog post 'A small Problem...'"Thanks for the comments!! I'll try stretching first :D And I'll check out those moves on YouTube :) I've been hooping in both directions, and it's not as hard as I thought it would be :D

NeZumi - Practice: Day 02
A little about my hoop-history :)- I've been hooping for about a week.- My hoop is homemade; 3/4" 10' blue PEX, a plastic connector, and blue professional electrical tape. It's a little misshapen, but it works :)- What I've learned so far, I got from Chemigal's youtube tutorials :) Lifting the Hoop off your body for right and left hoopers, weaves, and jumping through weaves. Although, I already had some weaving experience from my rave days lolAnyway, if you have any questions, please ask :)…See More

A small Problem...
Posted on June 19, 2012 at 6:00pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
I've been hooping for about a week now... And my tummy/back get really sore! I can only hoop around my waist for a couple of minutes, then I have to take a break and do weaves or something. I'm sure this is a common problem for beginners, but it still sucks :p
If anyone has advice or other tricks I can do until my muscles are trained properly, that would be awesome! I want to spend whole afternoons hooping, not just 20-30 minutes at a time with 10-15 minute breaks :(…

Alright, I'm just going to ramble on, so, you have been warned ^.^
I'd say it began about a week ago, I was cruising the Dreadlock Truth(DT) forums and happened upon a thread about hoop dancing. There are 10 posts per page, and this particular thread had about 34 pages. I read every post. I couldn't stop myself =) Just reading about hooping was addicting! By the end, I was itching to try it out XD
A couple of days later, my husband took me to Home Depot. We…
