After you spend a lot of hours sitting crouched over your guitar, or over your desk, get up and hoop for awhile! Feels great, it’s lots of fun, great thing to bring to a party. And it trims your middle and strengthens your back. But if you are an adult or a big kid, don’t use one of the lightweight toy-store hoops. They just won’t work for you. You need a bigger and heavier one. Yes, paradoxically, bigger and heavier is easier. I recommend one that comes up to your nipples or even to your neck for beginners. It’ll turn slowly but reliably. As you get better at it you can switch to a smaller hoop, one that comes up to about your navel. Hooping has become hip! Even Michelle Obama tried it (although unfortunately she did not have an adult-style hoop). I make them. Black with a bright green, orange or pink spiral. They cost $20 apiece — great Xmas gift. I can even ship one to your gift recipient (about $7 for shipping). Email me, chezztone(at)gmail.com, with the prospective hooper’s height and experience (and address if shipping needed) or with any questions, and we’ll get your order going.

Are these still in construction? Let’s see them at the show! Serious talent hiding here.
And hubby Kurt would love a copy of the book if you have one. Bring that for sure.
Thanks Steve. See you on Sunday.

Steve, I had no clue you were a hooper! One of my favorite women is a “hoop teacher” by profession and travels all over the world teaching, and she and I used to go to Memphis in May together every year (until I discovered the IBC in 2004…. the year I met you & Spoonman!).
Would love to talk more with you about hooping….. just wish you’d make it back to Memphis again!
Much Peace & Love to you, my friend,
Terri
