Yum To Try:
Here’s the Drinking Vinegar Recipe that tried, actually liked, and recommended in the video. I adapted for what I have on hand. Feel free to adjust this for yourself depending on what ingredients you have available in your fridge.
Pretty Yummy Apple Cider Vinegar Detox Drink
1 Tbsp Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
1 small packet of Stevia (or liquid stevia)
1 tsp-1 Tbsp lemon juice (to taste)
1/4 – 1/2 cup other juice (veggie juice with some fruit is nice)
1 cup or so of high alkaline good water
Put all in a bottle, shake and enjoy! Hint: don’t brush your teeth right before drinking this. Also, because of the juice, try rinsing your mouth with warm water after drinking as to protect your tooth enamel more (I had to watch doing lemon in water because it made my teeth ultra sensitive). If you would like to use this as a digestive aid, it’s recommended to drink 20 minutes before you eat, so try it before your breakfast for a wake-up pick-up beverage. You can make it in advance to make it easier to grab-and-go.

Happy Healthy Leg Hooping Tips, Tricks and Q & A
Happy Healthy Leg Hooping Tips, Tricks and Q & A
With Ché Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla
This Week’s Hoopspirational Hoop Booty Camp check in includes great hoop tricks and tips, floorwork, leg hooping vs. knee hooping (for Ashley Larson), breaks & paddles, question on hoop size, hooping safety tips, healthy cooking tips (including my yum corn & quinoa chowda this weekend (Yum Cooking performance art recipe below), greek yogurt, silent laughter and even an extra doggie hoop trick! Sorry the tech pixilates the video a bit, but this content rocks–and there’s lots of humor! Remember, “leg hooping” took me a YEAR to learn, so be patient with yourself, with floor, leg or dirty pizza toss leg hooping, starts and recovery moves. Hoop Love, Ya’ll! ~Che’ … your happy hooping humorist ♥
Corn & Quinoa Chowda Recipe by Che’ Rippinger
(Disclaimer…my cooking is “Performance Art,” meaning it’s on the fly, with what I have in my fridge/pantry/stock. Go ahead and experiment (as you might with leg hooping) with some changes…no guarantees on how it will turn out, but mine was not only raved about by one of my husbands friends, but also I ate this for the next several meals including breakfast –an entire snowy Sunday with multiple trips back to the crock. I ate 2/3 of a big crock–myself in 1 1/2 days–it was that delish! This is sure to fuel your leg hooping and floorwork practice with love and joy.
Throw in a crock pot on high…
2 packages of frozen corn kernels (splurge for the yummy organic if you can)
1 cup ground corn meal (I used Bob’s Red Mill)
1 cup or so of quinoa (I used a tri-color, which was lovely)
1 chopped up onion (cut up thicker if you like chunky soup)
1 small container of marscapone cheese (you can sub in cream cheese)
At least 3 cups of a Liquid of your choice (can combine): water, stock (veggie works great), unsweetened plain almond milk (or other alternative “milks” like cashew, soy, rice etc, or dairy milk if you like)
Spices to taste (start with a pinch, you can always add more!), including/suggested:
White pepper
Tumeric
Chili Power (just a pinch–it will get spicier the more you heat it!)
Paprika
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Save the salt for the end of cooking or as a garnish–and you’ll be able to taste it better and use much actual salt which equals less sodium (more bang for your salt buck!)
Thoroughly heat on high if you want to eat it faster, or let it simmer all day on low if you want to come home to a “welcome to dinner” fabulous smelling kitchen. You can use an immersion blender for a little bit, or blend about 1/4-1/3 of the soup in a blender (be very careful blending hot liquid–it can explode out the top of your blender and can burn you)
*Serving suggestions* Make it pretty and even more tasty:
Put in a beautiful bowl, drizzle with a good olive oil, and sprinkle with black lava salt, and a bit of yummy nutritional yeast flakes, sun-dried tomatoes, and garnish with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a pinch of paprika or chili powder on top.
Biscuits are a great carb-overloading side to this, or go green with some steamed broccoli, or nice salad. I made this soup to share, and I ended up eating most of it myself! In~Joy! ~Che’

In 1 Minute for 3 Hooping Hacks
Che Rippinger in Hooping Idol 7!
Che Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla accepted into the 21 Hooping Idol 7 Contestants
Representing Denver, Colorado and the Fabulous Over 40 Hoop Community, I’m very excited, and extremely honored to be a part of the worldwide talent pool who threw their hats in the mix to take part. It’s a life-changing and personally meaningful goal for me to make it in. Let’s see how far I can go in this global competition that is one of the highlights of our hooping communities year!
I will need viewer votes, aka lots of friends, family and colleagues casting ballots on Hooping.org to continue on in the competition. Tune in on Monday 4/17 to view my work and cast your vote.
The first theme is “70’s Week” and we all have just 4 days to create a video that showcases our dance, personality, hooping and a good story. As for who makes it to the next round, 60% is viewer/voter determined, and 40% is decided by 4 amazing internationally known professional hooper judges. 6 talented beings will be cut on the very first round! Like many competitions, there are many factors that determine success. One is how relatable and personable we are to our audience. So it’s not just technical hoop skills alone, that will determine the ultimate winner. Everyone has their own source of brilliance that make them unique.
Thank you for following me on this journey. Please enjoy the following 3 short videos:
1. My “Casting Call” audition video

Hula Hoop Hand Grips for Interesting Hoop Dance Variations
Here’s a short tutorial video on several hoop hand grip positions with Hip The Hoopla’s Che’ Rippinger. Note: I use the names of these grips as Emma Kenna teaches–because I love the accuracy in her fun descriptions, and she is a total enjoyable hoot–plus I love to credit the original source!

Hand Grip Variations Video Tutorial Link
FOR THESE HAND GRIP TECHNIQUES:
There aren’t any prerequisite moves that you need to have accomplished first for these hand grips. Just know that they do flow together with each half turn, and can be used interchangeably in your hoop dance flow session. It’s good to know these on both hands, and going in both directions on each hand–so your possibilities for combining them and creating variations on new moves and dance combinations, is endless!
HOOP DANCE TIPS:
Please warm up and cool down (head to toe!) to keep your body safe and hooping longer, hydrate, and take it sloooow! Make sure you have a nice dance posture: stand tall, shoulders back, chest and head lifted, abdominal wall in, pelvis tucked under, and a slight bend in the knees. Dancer/Boxer feet–keep your weight shifted forward on the balls of your feet, rather than resting back on your heels–easier for nimble movement. Try everything *without* the hoop first. Next, just hold the hoop and do the moves. Then get your fancier hoop moves in while coordinating with some basic stepping or fancy footwork dance combinations. Bring all you have to the table–your personal style, experience and sass! Stay positive and give yourself lots of credit for any and all progress! Keep a hoop notebook and take a couple of moments to write down tips and tricks that are helpful for you. Then review them right then and there, and a few minutes the next day…etc. You’ll be amazed at your progress! Please post how you are doing. Grab a buddy and stay accountable to another. And Please Share! Thanks So Much for watching!

Quick Video Hula Hoop Tutorial Trick: Inverted Scorpion Pass
Quick Tutorial-Inverted Scorpion Pass Hula Hoop Trick with Che of Hip The Hoopla
Want to know how to make a Scorpion Pass (an already ooh-ahh hula hoop trick) look even more awesome? Try adding a flexibility maneuver to it! If you practice yoga or have trained in dance, you may already know how to get an inverted standing split stretch. If you are not familiar with the safety and technique of those, please do that first! Or take out that extra element, and just practice the scorpion pass.
Having the Scorpion foot pass already accessible in your hooping tricks tool box, is very helpful.
Remember some key points in the Scorpion pass:
1. Keep your hoop hooked on a flexed foot as you drop it on to your foot from a hand pass, circle the extended leg (with flexed foot) around to the back.
2. Be ready to grab the flying hoop as you point the toe with the hoop on it.
3. With that hoop release, the hoop should transfer your hoop from foot to opposite hand.
4. Practice will help your coordination and timing of this move to pass and catch the hoop.
Hope you enjoy this and practice. If you are interested in private or group lessons, custom hula hoops, humor & health info, please connect with us at www.HipTheHoopla.com
Many Blessings to You ♥ Hoop Love, Ya’ll!

Olympic Hooping in Rio 2016 Rhythmic Gymnastics
Hoop Dance in the Olympics
You can see Olympic “hula hooping” under the category of “Rhythmic Gymnastics.” Add more dance, flair and a flow prop like the hoop (also ball, ribbon, & clubs) to the tumbling, flexibility and strength of “artistic” gymnastics. Then take away the various apparatus (balance beam, uneven bars, vault) and compiled it all in a floor routine (with one gymnast or other team mates performing all at once)–and well, you’d have this hybrid sport worthy of the 5 famous Olympic rings.
Want to see some extreme flexibility? This is definitely your “pull up a chair and be awe-inspired” time. These gals train on an average 6-8 hours every day (sorry, no boys category just yet).
|
Representing the
 United States in Rhythmic gymnastics are Laura Zeng, Kristen Shaldybin, Monica Rokhman, Alisa Kano and Kiana Eide. This is only the 2nd time the U.S. has qualified for the team all around competition–quite an honor when you see how talented the whole field is! |
Here’s a sneak peak at our team in action.
Here’s the Rhythmic Gymnastics schedule so you can set your dvr and absorb every ounce of NBC/Universal/Comcast television coverage. (They may Live-stream more online/or via the app–check your local listings). All competition held at the Rio Olympic Arena in Rio de Jenaro in Brazil. Air times* below are listed in MST (Mountain Standard Time)
*Make SURE you check your own local listings! Event schedules do get shifted around and so do the times they are presented. (I already found some time differences with our local cable provider. Viewer TIP Update: Use your mobile device to Live Stream–I was only able to live-stream with the NBC app, because apparently the two companies are in contract disputes, leaving the computer version “not available due to location restrictions or authorization failures.”)
