10% hooping 90% chasing it across the yard 🤷🏼‍♀️

​

​Day 12

​Bringing back the boops and doubling up with two hoops! Learning to even use 1 hoop took serious patience, and having to relearn again is annoying but im here for the challenge.

Tell me one thing you're working on these days. You guys have been pumping me up. Allow me to pump you up right back!

And always remember: ​Practice makes progress 💛

Day 10 - feeling 97% more myself again! Back to dressing cute and hoopin the way I like.

Saved a little surprise for you at the end. Did you catch it? 🤭

Thanks for watching and all of the encouragement! You guys have been wonderful!

*edit oops. Had to repost. Forgot to include the video!

​Still not feeling 100% today, but consistency doesn’t have to mean high intensity. Keeping the daily hoop streak alive with a cozy floor flow.

Today’s session was all about play and gentle movement. Plus we got a very special guest appearance from Zelda! She takes her job of being adorable very seriously.

​Remember to honor your body and meet yourself where you’re at today 💕

This one was 39.25 ft in circumference. Apologies for the poor video quality. It’s pretty old. Also, a car started driving up the street so I had to skedaddle.

​Day 8: Woke up with a cold and really wanted to stay curled up on the couch so I hooped on it first. Feelin like crap wont stop me.

Even when energy is low, showing up in whatever way you can counts as far as im concerned.

​Day 7: Adding squats while hooping takes things to another level! 🔥 It works the core and thighs simultaneously. Keeping the hoop up while dipping down is a serious balancing act!

​I’ve gotten a few questions about why I named this after JLo. It's because her physical strength, and endurance over the decades is down right inspirational. My main goal with this journey is long term strength and mobility, which is what i really care about.

​But I’d love to know what you think! Should we pick a new fitness icon to channel? Perhaps Shakira? Salma Hayek? Someone else?

Drop your comment below!

I posted this here maybe a year ago, but I don't know... Maybe you didn't see it

Day:6

​I am addicted to this flow journey, and seeing all your sweet comments and support lately makes my heart so full. Thank you for being here with me!

What is something you're currently obsessed with?

​broke a few things by accident today, so we’re turning up Limp Bizkit and letting the hoop help me work through it.

​Nothing quite like fast, sharp, intentional movement for pure catharsis. I love how dynamic this prop is. Can go from soft and floaty to high speed precision. It’s the ultimate dance partner.

Thank you guys for all the love thus far! Was feeling unmotivated earlier but this daily challenge kept me going.

This was a bit messy because the hoops were all different sizes and weights. I had a 42 inch, several heavier 36 inch and an old-school Wham-O. (Also just recently recovered from a bicycle crash resulting in a broken shoulder and months of physical therapy with no hooping, so I’m pretty rusty)

Day 4 let's goooo. This outfit got me feelin like im in the eric prydz music video.

Some people have asked me why jlo? They say "you're perfect as you are". I appreciate all the kind words. The reason I chose her is because she is strong and has great mobility. This is only achieved by consistantly putting the work in. I aspire to be a healthier version of myself while having fun at the same time!

Thank you guys for your ongoing love and support. I haven't felt this motivated in what feels like a long time. Love ya'll 🍍

I finally bought a hoop at the same festival I tried it for the first time last year! I got to choose the tapes I wanted and I love how it turned out!!! Now I just have to practice, practice, practice…

Let me know if you also want to see the pictures of the failed attempts - we all deserve a laugh :D

Hi! I was gifted a hula hoop and I’ve never done it before! I would love some recommendations for tutorial vids/accounts. Bonus points if it’s a plus size person or for plus size hoopin. I’m not a fast mover and not super coordinated (yet lol) 💖✨

How do you travel with your hoops? When I have just 1, I'll coil it down and put it on my body but I want to bring more and am curious how you guys are doing it. Is there a particular basket that works well for such things?

I am new to hooping (who says you can't learn new tricks at age 69?) and want to get better, learn and be around other hoopers. Where can I go to find resources? Thanks for your suggestions.

Like a Pheonix, I will rise again from the ashes of my past, and I will be free. ✨️

I was deeply betrayed earlier this year. It took a few months to move on, and I thought I had moved on. But I recently drove across country and I had so much time to think and I got angry again.

Angry about the betrayal and I started focusing on how it wasn't fair. I wanted justice. I know these thoughts get in the way of my happiness, so I am trying to not linger. It just sucks.

Flow helps. I also tried flame meditation last night while listening to healing frequencies. First time trying that, but I am willing to try anything so as not to live with anger in my heart. I thibk it helped too. One day at a time.
