Edit: This article was written 3 years ago, I have made some updates and added fresh links to new podcasts/tutorials/ideas for you. Scroll through to find all the treasure and leave me a comment below if hooping has changed you in some way or you are excited to start hooping.

 

I recently asked (on Instagram @deannelovexo),  “How has hooping changed you?”

 

I expected answers like “I have more energy” or “I feel stronger” But the responses were much more powerful and heartfelt.

 

Hoopers from all over the world were sharing stories of complete transformation. Many talked about overcoming pain; both physical and emotional. There were stories of career change, soaring self-confidence, new friendships and more creativity.

 

Some hoopers even declared a hula hoop saved their life!

 

I resonated in many ways with every one of the comments shared, from the light-hearted to the deeply painful.

 

At the age of 30 a hula hoop came into my life and completely changed every aspect of it.

How could a plastic ring have such superpowers?

I don’t spend much time questioning the how all I know is that hooping changed my life and reading through the comments shared yesterday I realise I am not alone.

The stories shared inspired me, so here are just 10 ways a hula hoop has changed my life. I would love to hear your hoop story. You can share it with the Hooplovers community below in the comments.
