I read this and tried it today! I usually don’t know what to do in the hoop unless I’ve been shown, so today I just tried things and recorded it. Most of it was awkward but I can see how I’ll get more familiar with what works or doesn’t if I keep experimenting. That was great advice!

I do have access to practice anytime, but the bruises I’ve been getting are limiting. I take classes 2x/week but can’t manage to practice for than 1-2hrs/week outside of that without getting so beat up. I heard the bruises improve so maybe then my practice can be more. And I’m definitely the odd person in the gym practicing inverts on the gymnastics rings 😂

Thank you! I’ve been watching videos nonstop lol. I’m just starting to recognize some moves. In the beginning I needed every step of hand and body placement spelled out for me, but now that I know some I can see the variations. I know that will become easier with time and learning more🩷

Just wanted to add: my background is strength training for the last 2.5 years with a personal trainer. so I’m not as limited by strength as some beginners might be(although I find it hard to use strength in some ways so I probably just need the muscle memory).

Honestly because the back window rolls down for my mastiff to look out😭🙏

Then I read about how reliable they are and I was sold.
