Hoop Love Ya’ll Show

Health, Humor and Hooping with Che’ Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla

In This “Dream Big!” Show Episode/Topics:

‘Dream Big’–Do you have a secret, or not-so-secret goal? Let’s get busy helping you make it happen. It’s going to take planning, action and tweaking as you go beyond where your learning  curve is. Learning is a new thing and can be fun even if it’s scary and out of your comfort zone. Plus Che’s fav recommendations, too.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

3 Things to Remember to “Dream Big!”:

♦ 1. Think Big – Pick a “Big Fat Hairy Goal” / a.k.a. What’s your “B.H.A.G.”  –  Big Hairy Audacious Goal
Example: World Hoop Day Song

♦ 2. PLAN, TRY, TWEAK, REPEAT ~ Rarely do things go according to plan. By starting, you learn by doing and can course correct when challenges come up.
Example: Many months in attempting to write the World Hoop Day Song, writing but not quite getting it.

♦ 3. Che’ says (and gives her permission if you need it), “It’s O.K. to fly by the seat of your pants.” If we wait until things are perfect, it’ll never get done. Start, try, do it anyway. You’ll learn along the way.
Example: Try it anyway, even if someone says you cannot, or you can’t do it well.

Healthy Recommendations Discussion:

♦ Cannabis “juicer mulch” is great in it’s THC-a (acid, non-psychoactive) state. You can use it in smoothies, make little dessert bonbon balls by mixing with cocoa powder, coconut oil, cinnamon, etc.
♦ Orange Oil-food grade, can  be used in a diffuser with peppermint or eucalyptus essential oils  for an aromatherapy energy boost. Also can be used as a “sweet” flavor for the palete.  You can mix orange oil  in with an alcohol-free vanilla for a non-sugar way to make something taste like a “Dream-Big-Cicle.” Try with a non-dairy yogurt like coconut and some ice and blend up for that creamy, cold, delicious texture. Another”sweet” palate helpful substitutions if going “no-sugar” is cinnamon. Cinnamon also helps rev up the metabolism. So does chili powder.
♦ Ohco-Flow/Ohco-Motion– Chinese herbal blend that helps with recovery and injury healing.
♦ Calcium, especially with minerals like Magnesium, Zinc and Potassium, are very helpful after a workout to help prevent and reduce lactic acid build-up which is what makes for muscle pain and soreness.
♦ Glass/Crystal Nail File – Great for a perpetually reusable nail file that replaces the traditional disposable cardboard/sandpaper emery boards, so that you don’t have to throw them out. Eco-friendly, cost-effective and pretty!
♦ Stainless Steel Straws (I call the iridescent one’s my Unicorn Straws”)
♦ A travel Spork (travel food utensil)

♥ Circus Dog Cameo-Brown with some great hoop jumping ♥

♦♦♦Circus-Type Hoop Moves:

♦ Hoop Pop Up/Spring

for BEST results, use a polypro or HDPE tubing hoop. Do NOT use a cheap small, light toy store hoop or it will bend, kink, and possibly break. Do not over smoosh down for extra spring, or you could do the same damage with your more expensive hoop.

♦ Cool Circus-Like Hoop Dance Combo*

(*One of my favorites I learned from a Luna Breese workshop):
♦ 1. Hoop Toe Pick up
♦ 2. Kick Up
♦ 3. Step Through
♦ 4. Upper body Dive In and Through
♦ 5. Wedgie …to…
♦ 6. Escalator

Additional Inspiration/Quotations/Variations:

♦ “If you shoot for the stars, you might just reach the moon.” Che’s interpretation
♦ “Shoot for the stars but if you happen to miss, shoot for the moon instead.” ~ Neal Armstrong
another famous variation…
♦ “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” ~ Norman Vincent Peale
