So, I'm really happy with my hooping progress so far.

It seems like just yesterday I could barely hoop at the chest.

Now, I can not only hoop at the chest, but move the hoop from my waist to my chest in a few different ways.



I have only been hooping since July 10th of this year, and I'm really happy with how far I have come.

Hooping was what I had been looking for: something that will help me connect my mind with my body, something to enjoy as a hobby, something that interests me and excites me.
