Most adults haven't picked up a hoop since they were kids. It isn't their fault. Hoops for a long time were only made in kids sizes. Most adults who are confident enough to try it, quickly get discouraged because the hoop just falls to the floor. We assume we have lost our ability to hoop, not realizing the hoop is just too small. Thankfully, some amazing people discovered that if the hoop is adult size, hooping is fun again!
I discovered hooping about 4 (maybe 5) years ago. I saw a video on Youtube of Christabel Zamor hooping! And I knew I had to try.
I have been hooked on hooping ever since! The first few weeks, I hooped for hours and hours straight! I was determined to learn it all, waist, hips, chest, shoulders...all of it! I grew more confident in myself. I began to hoop at any given opportunity. I began to feel happy, amazing, and wanted to share it with the everyone I knew!
Here are some benefits of hooping:
~Boosts self confidence!! This is huge! There aren't many activities that will make you feel so good! The hoop allows you the freedom to let go and just BE. You become more confident as you give yourself permission to move in a beautiful and feminine way. You will find yourself looking for people to hoop with, sharing tips and advice, and making new friends!

~ Hooping will make you happy!!! You will find yourself smiling, laughing, and having a blast! You will even let go of the fear of looking silly, and just have fun! In an hour hoop class, we laugh the entire time! Exercise has never been so care-free and fun!
~Helps improve your coordination! Each hoop move (trick) is designed in a very specific way, it requires exact movements. As you practice, your coordination will improve! Moves that once seemed impossible...left arm here, right arm there, turn right, now left...will become natural!
~Hooping may jump start your new fitness habit!! Many people who begin hooping, have never exercised on a regular basis. Getting into hooping and watching your body transform, encourages many to take part in other workouts. I have seen this happen!! Taking a hoop class is a great way to get into a fitness routine! Start with hooping, then add a weight-training class, and then maybe a Spin class!!
The benefits are amazing! Many have discovered weight-loss, which encouraged better eating habits, which changed their lives!! Hooping is not just for kids...but you can feel care-free like a kid again!! Grab a hoop (adult size of-course) and get hooping!!!
