IT’S A SUPERBOWL DANCE COMBINATION CHALLENGE!

In this challenge, we teach you a basic hoop dance combination using a half horizontal toss, pass, and reverse escalator kick out.  You can use a dance hoop or weighted fitness hoop to perform this combination, but admittedly lighter dance hoops will be a bit easier than weighted fitness hoops.

Upload your photos or videos of you practicing the combination to your Facebook timeline or Instagram and use the hashtag #canyonhoopssuperbowl  We will be featuring our favorites on our Facebook page during the Super Bowl on Sunday!  All photos should be posted by Saturday, February 6 at 11pm PST for consideration.

SUPERBOWL DANCE COMBINATION CHALLENGE – PART 2

In this challenge, we are adding on to the dance combination from Part 1.  We continue the series by adding an escalator and float to the end of the sequence!  You can use a dance hoop or weighted fitness hoop to perform this combination, but admittedly lighter dance hoops will be a bit easier than weighted fitness hoops.

Winter weather and small spaces don’t have to derail your hoop dance and fitness progress.  So many of you have asked for hoop tricks and exercises you can do with your fitness and dance hoops inside small spaces. So today, we’ve compiled a list of hoop tricks and exercises to try that will keep you on track without breaking a lamp in the process!

Get the Skinny on Waist Trimmers

What You Can Really Expect From a Waist Trimmer

Today we’re going to break down when and why you should consider using a neoprene waist trimmer in your hula hoop dance and fitness practice and what results you can realistically expect.  AND, you’re going to love this.  A protocol to use with the waist trimmer to jump start your results and put you into fat burning mode during and after your workout.

Background

Judy wrote to us asking for help in possibly ordering a new hoop size or how to best work with her exercise hula hoop she already purchased.  Judy is 75 and had never hooped before purchasing her 42” weighted exercise hoop from Canyon Hoops.  She learned to hoop by watching our Hoop Fitness DVD and was super excited to learn that she could hoop at 75 for the first time!  She mentioned that she experienced soreness above her right hip after hooping and as a result had taken time off from hooping.  She wrote in to ask whether she should get a different hoop size or what she could do differently.

Steal These Strategies

I recently sat down for a goal setting session with a client and one of her goals was to “lose the jiggle”.  Are you in a similar situation?  You order a fitness hoop to help lose your belly fat and want to know where to start?  Today I’m going to give you strategies to help move fat loss along.  And these tips aren’t about the specifics of your exercise program or your nutrition strategy, but rather how you set up your environment so you can stop white knuckling it through the process.

It happens to all of us, from the novice hoop dancer to even the most veteran of performers. You spend so much time mastering a hoop trick or flow sequence, that your brain gets stuck in the movement pattern you’ve practiced.  You can see this in a hoop jam or a performance, where inevitably you fall back on the patterns that your brain and body know, the sequences that are comfortable.  This can lead to stagnation, boredom, or feeling “stuck” in your hoop dance flow.  Today we are going to give you 9 ways to freshen up an old trick and break out of your “hooping habits” that will re-energize your mind and just might help you invent the next amazing hoop trick.
