What inspired you to start Hooping?
I stumbled across an article online one day which was talking about the health benefits of hula hooping, and when I read that it is a great way to strengthen your core muscles I was intrigued, as two years earlier I had slipped a disc in my back and had been so nervous of doing it again that I was put of off exercise, but this article explained that Hooping was low impact, so you could build the strength without having to put yourself through an agonising body breaking procedure, it also looked way more fun then pounding a treadmill or lifting weights in a gym!
What keeps you hooping?
I keep on Hooping because the possibilities are endless, everyday I think of a new trick or a different move you can do with the hoop. It's an unbelievable amount of fun and it's keeps you super fit without even realising you are doing anything!
What’s your favourite trick?
My favourite trick, gosh this is a hard one, there are so many! I think my favourite is the double weave, it looks super pretty and is a great work out for your arms (and bingo wings!). I haven't quite mastered it yet but half the fun is working hard and practicing a move to make it perfect!
Who are your hoop buddies?
My Mum! Bless her heart she had no intention to start hooping in her 60's but every time I go home with a pile of hoops we spend all afternoon playing around in the back garden and now she is showing signs of being a little pro! I would also have to say Bree and Heather, my fellow HoopFit instructors, I have learnt so much from them both and they are always super positive and heaps of fun to be around!
Who are your hoop inspirations?
When I saw this video on You Tube I got goose bumps, I was mesmerised, hooked, I couldn't believe how beautiful hoop dance could look and one day I will learn how to do this!!
