Although I have been hooping for a few years now, there are still so many tricks that I have yet to master. I can do the most basic of things, all with pure joy and fun, but I wish I knew more.

The hooping community around the world is so inspiring to me, but locally there is a whole lot of nothing going on. No classes to speak of, and really, all of my friends who hoop live miles, even countries away. Thank goodness for the internet, or I really would be a lone hooper.

I bought a book called Hooping: A Revolutionary Fitness Program (Book & DVD) awhile back, and though I looked through it and tried some tricks, I never studied it like I wanted to. It has 50 tricks tucked inside of it’s pages, and I intend to learn each and every one of them. The book has a dvd with it too, and stories from hoopdancers around the world. I can’t wait to really get going.

I want to give myself a deadline, but I am not really sure yet how to break it down. A year seems like a good amount of time, especially seeing as we just began 2010! Is it enough time though? I suppose we’ll have to wait and see.

I have some moves in my bag of tricks already. Some of the new tricks relate to each other and might be considered as one (for goal tracking purposes). But I do feel like the accountability of posting my progress for the whole world, and other hoopers, is going to help push me beyond what is comfortable and easy.

The bigger goal is to have more fun, get in better shape, and at the end of this adventure, to produce an awesome hoop video to share.
