Hula Hooping fun!

Hula hooping is something I briefly mentioned in a post a few months back in the Maker faire post. I know its not Gaming but it is wonderfully geeky and I love it!
Well the hoop bug has bit me hard and this post is just a little tidbit on that.
I have found that hula hooping is not only a way to get active but it also helps me relax. I already love to dance so it was almost natural for me to get into the groove with a hoop. I’m not saying that I’m a trick pro or anything (far from it at this point) but I can hoop for hours and it never gets boring!

Here are some links that you can check out about hula hooping!
