My first hoop was given to me by a fellow festival trader and we hooped outside our stall all summer and my love for hula hooping began. That's also when I discovered the potential for hula hoop sales as the more people saw me hooping, the more hoops we sold. It was not long before my company Hula Baloo was born to run alongside my existing business, Grumpy Frog.
The personal benefits of hula hooping were obvious as the back pain I'd suffered for years disappeared. Hooping was toning my whole physique as well as strengthening muscles. In the same way that yoga and can take you to a different plain, I feel that hula hooping is also beneficial as a form of meditation.
The art of hula hooping has obviously grown incredibly over the last couple of years, however I believe that dancing with a hoop free style is as pleasing as learning tricks or doing a hoop workout. That's one of the benefits of owning a hoop, you don't have to be part of a class or hoop troupe, you can take your hoop with you wherever you go and have fun keeping fit.
I began making my own hoops about 9 years ago starting with beginners exercise hoops. Now my product range extends to travel hoops, LED hoops, dance hoops, polypro hoops, wraparound travel hoops and now skinny hoops. All of these hoops can be purchased or ordered from my online store.
I'll be hitting the road again very soon and will keep you updated with where you can find Grumpy Frog and join in one of my free hoop workshops. In the meantime if you want to find out more about Hula Baloo and Grumpy Frog visit my website.
