hooping

My niece Maria makes and teaches people hula hoop. Soon she'll be opening a fitness studio called Polesque Fitness in Louisville, Kentucky. She'll be teaching fitness pole dancing, hula hoops, stiletto fitness and some other stuff. If you're in the ’hood and in need of a different kind of workout, check out her studio.

Anyway, she sent custom made hula hoops up for Bonnie, me, Lyd, my niece Eryn and her daughter Lil Bug. We picked them up yesterday after the stair climb and tried them out at my house last night and today.

I could get mind around maybe twice before it fell.

Lydia got hers around 5 or 6 times and actually had some good form.

Sharon tried and failed horribly. I think she had Bugs.

Eryn stopped for hers today and hooped for over a minute several times outside. She was very good. (Of course she's half my weight and age.) Then when we came in, she added Lil Bugs and kept going. Even using three different sized hoops she could make it go round four or five times. She said she learned watching youtube videos.

If I knew what I was doing, I might get a good workout with it. To bad I'm not closer to Louisville. I could stop at Polesque!
