Take a second today to look in the mirror and remind yourself how wonderful, strong, and capable you are. Sometimes we forget to give ourselves the love we give to others. Keep showing up for yourself! 💕
I hope you find this advanced tutorial helpful! 😄
If you've never done any kind of c-roll before, or you can but your front c-rolls could use some polishing and/or jazzing up a bit I'm teaching a FREE online C-Roll workshop 'C-Rolls & Eat Them!' on Sunday 6th September at:
6-7pm - UK
7-8pm - Central Europe
1-2pm - New York
10am-11am - Los Angeles
And YOU are invited! ❤️
I'll be covering how to do clean and controlled c-rolls from a few different grips and catches, and some of my favourite combos and loops that use them. This workshop is for all levels, it'll start out at the beginning and move on to some fancy combos, so there'll be something for everyone

Day 12!
Bringing back the boops and doubling up with two hoops! Learning to even use 1 hoop took serious patience, and having to relearn again is annoying but im here for the challenge.
Tell me one thing you're working on these days. You guys have been pumping me up. Allow me to pump you up right back!
And always remember: Practice makes progress 💛

Enjoy a playful hula hoop dance where the King is entertained by the Court Jester (me)!
Featuring my husband Michael Richards as the king! 🤴🏻

Day 10 - feeling 97% more myself again! Back to dressing cute and hoopin the way I like.
Saved a little surprise for you at the end. Did you catch it? 🤭
Thanks for watching and all of the encouragement! You guys have been wonderful!
Basketball
Day 8: Woke up with a cold and really wanted to stay curled up on the couch so I hooped on it first. Feelin like crap wont stop me.
Even when energy is low, showing up in whatever way you can counts as far as im concerned.
Practice makes progress
Still not feeling 100% today, but consistency doesn’t have to mean high intensity. Keeping the daily hoop streak alive with a cozy floor flow.
Today’s session was all about play and gentle movement. Plus we got a very special guest appearance from Zelda! She takes her job of being adorable very seriously.
Remember to honor your body and meet yourself where you’re at today 💕
This one was 39.25 ft in circumference. Apologies for the poor video quality. It’s pretty old. Also, a car started driving up the street so I had to skedaddle.
​
Day 7: Adding squats while hooping takes things to another level! 🔥 It works the core and thighs simultaneously. Keeping the hoop up while dipping down is a serious balancing act!
I’ve gotten a few questions about why I named this after JLo. It's because her physical strength, and endurance over the decades is down right inspirational. My main goal with this journey is long term strength and mobility, which is what i really care about.
But I’d love to know what you think! Should we pick a new fitness icon to channel? Perhaps Shakira? Salma Hayek? Someone else?

Day:6
I am addicted to this flow journey, and seeing all your sweet comments and support lately makes my heart so full. Thank you for being here with me. I'm really enjoying it and hope you are too!
What is something you're currently obsessed with?
Broke a few things by accident today, so we’re turning up Limp Bizkit and letting the hoop help me work through it.
Nothing quite like fast, sharp, and intentional movement for pure catharsis. I love how dynamic this prop is. Can go from soft and floaty to high speed precision. It’s the ultimate dance partner.
Thank you guys again for all the love these posts have been getting! Got my first award on the day 1 post. Absolutely made my day.
I posted this here maybe a year ago, but I don't know... Maybe you didn't see it
This was a bit messy because the hoops were all different sizes and weights. I had a 42 inch, several heavier 36 inch and an old-school Wham-O. (Also just recently recovered from a bicycle crash resulting in a broken shoulder and months of physical therapy with no hooping, so I’m pretty rusty)
Day 4 let's goooo. This outfit got me feelin like im in the eric prydz music video.
Some people have asked me why jlo? They say "you're perfect as you are". I appreciate all the kind words. The reason I chose her is because she is strong and has great mobility. This is only achieved by consistantly putting the work in. I aspire to be a healthier version of myself while having fun at the same time!
Thank you guys for your ongoing love and support. I haven't felt this motivated in what feels like a long time. Love ya'll 🍍
Workin' towards my best self. Jennifer Lopez has always been my ultimate inspiration because she's vibrant, fit, and represents who I want to be.
After getting out of my fitness groove, I'm getting back to where I want to be by doin what I love. Hooping every day until I'm J-Lo fit!
edit you guys are incredibly welcoming and kind. You have given me a boat load of extra pep in my step! I wont be able to reply to all of the comments, but please know I read every one! Thank you all so much 🥹

Day 3! Rode an hour round trip to the waterfront, hooped in front of the brewing storm, then headed downtown just in time to dodge the total downpour. The rain here is fast and furious!
Super proud of keeping this fitness momentum going. You guys inspire me every day!
Much love, always ❤️
I finally bought a hoop at the same festival I tried it for the first time last year! I got to choose the tapes I wanted and I love how it turned out!!! Now I just have to practice, practice, practice…
Let me know if you also want to see the pictures of the failed attempts - we all deserve a laugh :D
You guys have been so supportive and encouraging. Im so happy that these videos make you happy too! Thank you for being on this journey with me 💕
I have been hula hooping for 14yrs. I love performing, teaching and playing around with these plastic circles. Have questions on specific moves? Leave them in the comments. Tutorials coming soon!
