Hula Hooping!

In class on (4/26) Ally Surber a fellow classmate in TR came in and shared her passion for hula hooping with us.  She started introducing herself and how she got into hooping and just how therapeutic it really can be.  She showed us a couple YouTube videos which were really cool and got me really excited to make my own hoop and try it out.  After introducing us to hula hooping and its benefits we actually made our own hoop and decorated it with colored duct tape to fit our own liking.  You start out making a hoop by cutting irregation tubing to the perfect size for you, then putting it together with a coupling and blow drying it to melt it together.  Then the fun part, decorating it with colored duct tape.  After we decorated them we took them out to the parking lot where we practiced and had a fun time hula hooping! This is a very beneficial and cheap project you could do at like a summer camp with kids and they would have a blast.  It really gives you time to yourself when you are in your own "hoop" to focus on yourself physically and mentally.
