On Saturday I hooped for the first time in about a month, and then again today. Ouch. Apparently regular hooping toughens up the hip bone region but when you lay off for a while, well, it goes all soft and tender again. Tiny green bruises may ensue.
In hooping, as in flossing, consistency is key.

Hooping? As in hula hooping?
I feel your pain.
I also feel very old because I can’t imagine hooping at all anymore.

Hooping is great fun, Susan. For all ages! The hoop I use is heavier than the cheapo plastic ones from when we were little. It’s much easier to keep spinning. Here’s something you might want to check out (posted last year):

Hooping sounds so fun! I want to try it, too! Hopefully, your bruises go away and you can enjoy it all the way. 😀

I know you’d love it, Sarah. Let me know if you want to make some and I’ll send you links on how to do it. It’s easy and I bet your kids would love it, too.

So do you get tiny green bruises when you don’t floss?
Just kidding. That would be gross.
I assume Susan and Sarah are right. You mean hula hooping and not, um, basketball hooping… right? Jeez. I don’t know anything.

I thought about the bruise/gum issue, too. But I was too polite to mention it! HA
Yep, hula hooping. But I was shooting baskets with Zebu when I finished so I guess I hooped both ways. However, my shot was WAY off and I only made a couple baskets. The kid was gloating.
