 Hi everyone! I finally found some exercise. MY kinda exercise. I went to a hooping class yesterday. It's where you learn to dance while hula hooping. For 2 hours I did it. I went from not able to keep one up (never did it as a kid) to being able to do tricks with it by the end of the class. 2 hours of hooping and I wasn't ready to leave but another class was coming in. I'm still struggling on the money end of it but I'm listing some clothes on Ebay hopefully to pay. 

It doesn't feel like exercise at all and I really enjoy it. You guys were right, just gotta find my thing and I think I found it.

That sounds like fun.  I've never been able to keep one up.  What is the trick?

 You use hoops that are a lot bigger and heavier than kiddie hoops and you move your hips in a circle or put one foot infront of the other kinda.

 Hilariously I was just learning about hooping from a friend yesterday, who has a friend who makes hoops and who teaches classes.  Apparently she is also a fire hooper.  I don't know why I find this so hilarious but I totally do, and how funny you mention it!

Anyway, my friend and I are totally going to take a class because I need to say I'm hooping, that I'm a hooper, that I aspire to fire hoop...I love it all.  And I can easily believe what a great workout it will be.  I expect to have hoopers abs afterwards.
