I admit it. I got bored. I got into a rut. I stopped dropping the hoop.

So I decided to try chest hooping, and suddenly I’m no longer bored but rather frustrated. Its amazing how hard it is to move those chest muscles, and the shoulders as well. But if its difficult then its probably worth it, all I’m doing is getting some strength up there.

Im hopeless at remembering anniversaries and birthdays, so when Kuri said that it was her hoopiversary I realised that I must have missed mine! At least I have some video evidence of the first time I hooped to help me remember (thanks Kuri!).

Yesterday I hung out with my Wicked Stepmother in the afternoon and we did a bit of hooping out on the back verandah. She’s got the hip moves going on already, so I showed her a few new things to try; off the waist stuff like passing around the body, above the head and weaving from side to side, and she picked it all up pretty quickly. I will have to take my camera next time!
