I’m running into a new wall, the physical limitations of my body. I’ve been a devoted hooper for a while now. I often reach the limit of my own coordination but rarely do I find a physical limitation.
I’m trying to learn how to translate a poi waste wrap into the hoop and I just don’t have the flexibility. Dustin Hubbell is the only person I’ve seen do it and he’s a much thinner man than I am. My flexibility is poor and I’m not a small guy. Two thirds of my back is out of my reach. I have a long way to go.
So I’ve found my motivation to start a regular stretching program. Flexibility has never been an end in itself for me so I’ve so I’ve never committed myself to it. It feels good to be so devoted to hooping that I’m making larger changes in my life.
