for the record.....

the i cam on my mac puts about 15 extra pounds on my ass!!!! seriously, i am standing here in front of a mirror and i dont look like what you are getting ready to see. but alas.....so i have been chatting about this hooping thing, and figured id make a little video....so here it is. i am in my living room, and had just destroyed my ceiling fan light pull, so i am being very timid with my movements. if i was outside i would be jumping, spinning, pumping, and grinning. i hope to get a chance to video some more of the stuff i am learning, but like i said i am inside, and cant get the range of motion i need for some of the more fun tricks. also i hope to post some pics of the new hoops, i made a really fun weighted hoop today, that is sure to kick my butt and make me shed a few extra pounds in the process....cause evidently according to this video i have gained all the weight i lost.....but i call its bluff.....! oh yes by the way i do go all super girl flying back into the room after i roll that bad boy down the hall....just sayin', watch for it.....:)

i would love to teach you what i know, i really want to come see you soon darlin'. ill come bearing hoops.

Natalia said...

I would LOVE to see your pretty face. I have been so busy here. Carla got herself a hoop and so I have tried a few things. I can only lasso up and then down hahahaha I need to get one my size and try for real... the little I have done is really addictive!
Be my teacher!! Oh and I need some ink on my body and need you to get a gun. (How much money are we talking about for one of those?)

Man, I am pretty demanding aren't I? LOL

rebecca said...

i love you and your demands, i actually got a new machine a few months ago. it is a beauty! if you like hooping with carlas hoop you will love having one your size. i like heavier hoops, but ill bring a few diff. ones so you can try them and see what you like.

Natalia said...

Her hoop actually has water in it so it is pretty heavy and I like it like that. Maya has a smaller one without water and I don't like it as much.

You got a gun????????????????? Are you able to tattoo right now??? I SO want to get my tattoo!!!!
Let me know.

MUAH!!

rebecca said...

what is your tattoo idea dear?

Libby said...

GIRL!!! That was amazing!!! That wasn't hula hooping, that was a dance! I am amazed, not at all what I was expecting. Apparently I am to "straight laced" to have ever thought of anything like that. Do you mind if I use your video to show some friends of mine an idea for exercise??? Are there classes for that??? School me!!

gillian said...

BECKY!!! that was freakin' awesome!!! you need to have a hoopin' party, i want to learn how to do that!

rebecca said...

yes!!!!!! a hoopin party! that is a great idea!!!!! i can even get the stuff so everyone can make their own hoop too!!!!! do you know anyone else who may be interested? i also want to start a group that meets at the park maybe twice a month or so.....!!!! fun!

rebecca said...

and libby, there are classes for it, i think there is even a large hoop community up near asheville if that is where you are still......it is great exercise, and super fun. if you get a chance go to youtube, and do a search for hoop dance, or hula hoop tutorials....

gillian said...

hoop makin/teachin/learnin party, yes! and yes to meeting at the park!!! i think i know a few quite a few people who would love to join us! YAY, i'm super excited!!!

rebecca said...

when you want to do it?

Sara said...

I think I'm in love with you. Like, I was already in love with you, but now I'm REALLY in love. You rock that hoop girl!! I got to the end of it and realized that I was smiling the ENTIRE time I was watching.

So, a note for the other ladies...if you want some more inspiration, check out my hooping blog, especially the video section!! www.thehappyhoop.com

Much love lady...xxoo

That was amazing. Then again, I think you bring a magical, ethereal, wonderful, lyrical quality to anyting that you do--probably even to taking a piss!
And if you are doing ink, I want in. I have something I have wanted you to do for awhile, but I didn't think you were doing. Oh, and yeah, you are awesome!

gillian said...

seriously though...i work 7-3:30 M-F, and M/W Owen does Tae Kwon Do from 4-5 so those days are kinda shot for me... Paul said he'd watch the kids whenever so that I could go have some fun, what? you tell me when and i'm there! ditto to what T said!!!
