Pretty sure this is acceptable to post, but only because Martina is wearing a bathing suit under her dress! If it were real underwear, no way. It’s called double standards, guys. Get some.

a little bit of a frustrating night tonight, but it wasn’t a complete waste! despite an off-day for hooping, i still worked out the waist-to-lasso in both directions [for the most part…]

p.s.

sorry for the awful lighting…

quick update

after about a week of recovery from all sorts of non-fun stuff, i finally got to get back to hooping!

here’s a quickie update:

new trick learned: waist to lasso lift [both directions]

in progress: waist to lasso lift with turn, chest hooping, leg hooping [it’s soooo hard!!]

polishing: turns [both directions], waist to neck [both directions], hand hooping

mastered: waist, hips, waist to hips, hips to waist [basics!]

new videos to come, soon!

recovery

i’ve been waiting for a couple of bruises to heal before i got back to practicing tricks and such…

as luck would have it, my body finally succumbed to seasonal allergies, so i’ve been walking around with a head that feels like a balloon, blowing my nose every five minutes.

translation: allergy medicine that’s making me want to stay in bed all day.

i can’t wait until all of this passes so i can be back to hooping!

because one bruised shoulder isn’t enough…

today, i taught myself how to hoop from waist to neck in the opposite direction [meaning the hula hoop was going counter-clockwise, since i naturally hula hoop clockwise].

now BOTH of my shoulders are bruised.

oh well, at least they match!

i have a feeling i’m gonna be sore tomorrow…

after i get this trick down, it’s on to leg hooping!

i learned a new trick today!

hooping waist to neck [and back].

it’s not perfect yet, but it will be.

i’m still working on this trick in the opposite direction…

[the music is by benny benassi, but i forgot what the song was called…]
