This is not your mama's hula hoop

This has nothing to do with weddings, but everything to do with having fun and getting in shape - which I suppose has a LOT to do with weddings, so I amend that statement. If you are tired of dogearing pages of Bride Magazine's 6 month workout plan or shuffling over to Curves, get your bridal self over to hoop revolution.

Anah Reichenbach, a.k.a Hoopilicious first discovered the hula hoop 11 years ago at a concert and hasn't stopped "hoop dancing" since. Now this isn't the baby-sized pink thing you remember from your childhood. This is done with a heavier adult-size hoop which works nicely with those hips you sprouted long after you left the playground. You may have seen Anah recently on
America's Got Talent where she hypnotized Regis with her insanely flat, toned stomach and dazzled the audience with the skills. She travels all over the world to perform, but lucky for me she lives in Los Angeles. Even luckier for me, she's a friend and my darling husband got me a private hooping lesson - and my very own hoop! - for my birthday. I'm bruised and banged up but I can't stop. If you don't live in LA, Anah custom makes all her hoops, so you can pick your colors and order them off her website. Seriously, why run the track at the local high school when you can pick up a hoop, get in shape, and look damn sexy doing it! Ok - Anah looks damn sexy doing it, but I hope to work pass the drop-on-foot, banged elbow, knockkneed awkardness to achieve my own level of hotness eventually!
