Hooping: A Revolutionary Fitness Program
Imagine an exercise that works every major and minor muscle group, burns 600 calories an hour, builds balance and flexibility, requires no investment beyond $25 to $35, and makes you feel exuberant, delightful, sassy, and sexy. And is so much more like play than work that you want to keep doing it.

You would think Christabel invented hooping... or at least singlehandedly brought back hooping to America since the fad died after the '50s.
I'm a beginning hooper, more advanced than level one beginner on Hoopnotica, but not so advanced that I'm on intermediate yet. Christabel does a great job explaining the benefits of hooping and encouraging a positive attitude, but the rest of the book is awful.

Learn how to do more than just standing and twirling the hula hoop around your waist. This is an intro to hoop dancing. Lots of pictures and explanations of technique. The book includes a DVD to help you learn how to do the various techniques.
I haven't read this book all the way through yet. But, from what I have read it is a good example of an instructional manual. I got it at a discount place so I am missing the DVD. For a book that is trying to describe a movement practice it does a really good job. I have been able to figure out how to accomplish specific tricks when I read and look at examples. The pictures are lovely. Routines are offered in the back of the books. Interviews are done with hoopers for ways in which hooping has t...more
Good overview and intro to hooping, but also includes more advanced techniques.
A comprehensive guide to getting off your butt and starting hooping! The book covers not only hooping skills, but holistic health - caring for the whole person - including nutrition and some metaphysics. The book and DVD combo are inspiring and fun - just like hooping is!
