Category: What's Really Good For you
Transition time. I am giving a new sport a whirl, hooping. After spending nearly 15 years with soccer I switched to roller derby, just as physical, roller derby was fun. The girls are awesome, the practices killer and the outfits, fun.
But, the sport is time consuming, and I cannot afford to get hurt. In derby, it's not if you'll get hurt, but when....and I had to exit before anything serious happened.
I stumbled onto hula hooping as a workout and discovered hooping involves all the things I love about soccer and roller derby....without the injuries.
1. FUN. Hooping is flat out enjoyable.
2. Challenging. There is always something more to learn, add a hoop, a move, a dance.
3. Friends. Hooping in a class setting is a great way to find new like-minded friends.
4. Fashion. Okay, well soccer doesn't exactly scream stylish..but derby includes crazy fashion, fishnets, mini skirts...and the hoop dance clothing is just as outrageous, yoga pants with huge bell bottoms, flares and ruffles. Love it.
So, I just ordered a weighted hoop from Canyon Hoops choose a custom pink and orange hoop...so excited!
