Some moms do Stroller Strides

Some moms do stroller strides, some moms go to the gym. Those types of things have never been this mama's cup of tea, so you know what I do to stay in shape? ROCK CLIMB, SLACK LINE and HULA HOOP! Yes, I like to get wild in the sunshine. I was like this before the babe and I will continue to be like this. Adventure is in my blood.

For my hooping work out, I like to go outside, in the backyard, (I can, this is Southern California) and crank up "Beatfanatic" on pandora. Then I throw on a sports bra (or bikini top), and a pair of tie-dye hot shorts (with no cares as to flabs or lack of tan), and dance with my hoop! There are lots of great places to learn how to hoop. There are the videos from Hoopnotica (they also sell weighted hoops) and many many youtube channels.

Here are a few of my favorites:

These are just to give you some ideas about what you can do. I recommend classes and meet up groups. Or just get outside and bust a groove.

Here was a cute little survey I found on this tumblr :

1. How did you get into hooping?

In high school, a few friends and I fell in love with these older girls who hooped at a local beach. We bought hoops from them and have been hooping ever since.

2. tell me about the first time you hooped in front of people

I hoop at the beach a lot and it's always so much fun. People stop and watch (even if you aren't very good) because it's so darn cool. I love bringing extra hoops for other kids and people to play with!

3.Describe the feeling you have when you hoop

I feel SEXY. I'm not the best dancer, but when I hoop, I feel like a gypsy queen.

4.What is some advice you could give someone?

Just have fun! And don't be afraid of what you look like, cuz you look HOT

5. Do you think you’ll continue to hoop when you’re older?

I hope so!

6. How did you learn to hoop?

I learned from the girls I bought my hoop from. They used to have free classes. But now I just learn from my cute friends who have way more time on their hands to hoop.

7.What are some benefits you, personally, get from hooping?

Confidence booters fro sure! I feel slimmer and sexier. I feel healthier, more full of life and more playful! Plus it's a great excuse to buy a sexy jumpsuit

Now, I leave you with a neat video that I hope makes you go out and hoop!
