That was really good! You are inspiring. A friend is getting me into hooping and I have been watching vids all week. Yours is as good as any of them . Nice job!
Melissa Badamain You are very welcome! COVID, unfortunately, has also dimmed my hoop dance motivation, worsened my depression, and found me gaining at least 10-15lbs, putting me at 170lbs. I am torn between feeling down about the weight gain and wanting to accept it. We often put too much pressure on ourselves to look a certain way.....and, I don’t want to turn my love of hoop dance into a chore. Yet....I want to feel better about myself. I go back and forth, while struggling simultaneously with energy to hoop/exercise and lack of energy. I need to strike a balance. What can I truly be happy with. What should I be happy with. Sorry for rambling! And thank you again for the inspiration! Any thoughts on my ramble?
@@ambernoelwilbur Oh my gosh, I can ramble on about this forever. I definitely have lots to say on all of this, but I'll keep it short for now and maybe make a video on it. :) Hooping has been a huge part of my life for about 10 years, but I have actually stepped away from it because there are things going on in my life that calls for more attention. I know hooping is a wonderful activity that releases stress and always without fail brings me into a better mood, but it's okay to put it down for a bit to figure out this present life. I've gained about 20lbs since lockdown, however, I have been working out and eating a lot more healthier since mid-June. Not sure if I've lost any weight yet, but I'm actually more focus on how I feel overall. I'm feeling way better than I had been in awhile! My best suggestion is to add variety into your activities. Try new props or different forms of exercise....like dance!! Just dance without a prop and see how that actually makes you feel. :)
Thank you Melissa! We definitely can relate. I am glad that you are feeling better above everything else! That, really, our mental health, is most important, and unfortunately is something that always ends up getting overlooked and under nourished. I say make a video about all of this! It'd be great! Women are often too harsh on themselves, each other, and really, especially nowadays, need more uplifting from each other. And you are definitely uplifting! Thanks again for responding! P.s., I added you on Pinterest :)
And trying another form of exercise, like dance, which I love, is a great idea!! I often get too wrapped up in trying to be an amazing hooper who knows all of the tricks, and forgets to just flow and be happy without putting pressure on myself.
@@kathleent5897 I know what you mean. When I first started, it was quite frustrating but this activity should always be about fun unless you're in a crazy circus group! 🤗
sublime
Thank you so much! 🤗
Love your hoop dance. I can hardly keep a hula hoop up 2 rounds. Can’t imagine doing a beautiful dance with it!
Very pretty flow🌼
I received my ice blue travel hoop today and it’s amazing! I am in love with it. Thank you
