Hoop Love Ya’ll Show~Emerge Theme

By Che Rippinger | September 2, 2023

In This Show Episode/Topics: “Emerge!”–Great tips for natural pain management so you can heal faster including: Arnica Montana homeopathic (and tips to help make it more effective), Ohco Motion (a Chinese herbal blend that also helps the body heal), and a Laughter Yoga exercise–because laughter is a natural pain medication. Plus I’m keeping Ya’ll up to date on my own personal happy healing (of skin cancer) journey–including how Judas Priest will be inspiring my bad ass costuming over a 4 inch scar–and how they helped squelch my panic attacks so I could go get this s**t taken care of!

•Humor/Health Tips – Holy Cow Arnica is so helping with my pain management. Also using Ohco Motion because it also helps the body to heal itself. Also doing more healing internally with raw cannabis juice, Mary’s Medicinal THC-a greens and Dragonfly Botanicals Hemp Oil—all of these are NON-psychoactive ways to heal using cannabis, FYI.

• Health Information:
Update #4 on my medical process. See the previous 3 Hoop Love Ya’ll Show videos for the journey to here.

Baby Got Back

By Che Rippinger | July 13, 2020

Che Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla - Twin Mini hooping for Denver Broncos Football season

How I learned to love having a plump bootie, and pump up my guns (my call to my arms)!

A new friend made a hooping video progress post and did what a lot of us do…we put ourselves down a little, we say some derogatory things about the situation, or make excuses, and basically say all the faults we can think of, before someone else can throw them back on us.

Here was my response, “You’ve gotta give yourself WAY more credit! It takes a lot of dedication to stick to something–anything. Doing what you can, wherever, and however you can, makes you more creative and awesome. And posting a video takes way more guts than most people think! So kudos for all of that. P.S. I’m loving that have fallen in love with a body part that you didn’t like much before.”

When I wasn’t fond of my body (like really low thoughts), I decided to pick out ONE thing that I actually liked. One thing–something…anything. What I managed to come up with was my shoulders. Yep. Because it’s not a part most people think either “Wow” or “Ewwwww.”

Eventually…I even started to like my arms, because I had a goal. I wanted “Angela Bassett” arms. Back when she was prepping for her Tina Turner roll in, “What’s Love Got To Do With It,” she had this buff definition that I was so in awe of.

**Actress Angela Bassett trained for these amazing arms!**

Arms were an easy enough thing at that time in my youth that I could do something about. At that time, I was very into martial arts (training and eventually earning my 4th degree black belt in Jeet Kune Do). I started doing push-ups, because that was a great way to help achieve upper body strength. And there were lots of people around me able to do them. We had fun with the endless creative varieties and constantly challenged each other. Low and behold, I liked my arms.

Eventually, as I started to rethink old negative thoughts, I started liking more parts of my body. With some effort…I even got to be proud of my tooshie.

When I was in high school, I was called “Big Butt” by a close family member. It humiliated me and made me feel awful, ashamed and vulnerable at the body part I just naturally had. One day, I had it as my frustration level hit the roof. I turned around and barked, “Where do you think I got this from?!” That shut them up for good, at least on that one. (Nowadays, the term “body-shaming” is a well-known thing. It wasn’t back then.)

Later, in college, there was a famous rap a song titled, “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-A-Lot. He exalted the desire to have some “junk in the trunk” with lines like, “I like big butts and I cannot lie” and “Shake that healthy butt!” So those of us with a derriere, did. Ever since then, I’ve been proud to have the backside I was blessed with. It’s part of my shape. And more importantly, it’s a part of me.

As I’ve matured in life, I’ve come to terms with many of the things I used to consider “flaws.” Do I love everything about myself? No. Could I improve on some things? Most definitely. Can I cut myself a little slack on my expectations of myself in more moments? Sure.

Bottom line (hahahaha, pun intended!)…life is a journey of growth and learning. Throw that in with a little self kindness and acceptance. Mix in a little love. And for extra brilliant measure, add some gratitude…because the very thing you think is aweful…someone else might actually either desire, or would trade places with you in a heartbeat to have that as a problem to deal with.

More recently, there was an online business summit where one guest speaker challenged the main guy to do 25 push-ups every day for 14 days. A whole bunch of people in the group took up that same challenge for themselves. I thought, what the heck…I used to be a push-up badass (yeah, I’m on a roll here!). So I tried pounding out those 25 easy push-ups. Woah. I could barely eke out 10. But, I knew, I’d already built up from nothing to something once before, so let’s do this!

Almost everyday, for several months now, I’ve been trying to meet, or somehow improve in the technique of my now ever-increasing goal. At this writing I’m up to 50 fairly decent push-ups. The last ones aren’t as strong or pretty as the first, or as great in form…but I’m improving that with time, practice, and actually doing the darn things! I remember that I could do 100 back in the day. Yeah, I’d like to crack that lofty number one more time. Plus it’s great training for getting Handstands! Another longtime goal of mine.

Angela Bassett arms, here I come! Again.

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show ~ Rising Theme

By Che Rippinger | July 30, 2018

Hoop Love Ya'll Show~Health, Humor, Hooping ~ Rising Theme with Che Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla

In This “Rising” Theme Show Episode/Topics/Summary:

Life has it’s high’s and lows. Enjoy and ride those highs. And on some of those lows, a little bit of humor might help. Update on our now angel pup Caly. Pet cameos by the lazy and crazy. A humorous funeral tale. Live show feedback. And a “rising” hoop move tutorial on “The Vortex.” Use good Sunblock. ♥ Hoop Love, Ya’ll~Che’

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show

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

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

♥ Hooping Pet Cameos with lazy and crazy♥

“Sometimes release, is the hardest part of holding on to life.” ~Che’ Rippinger

Caly Angel “Rising”…her short journey was my care-giving gift and heartfelt life lesson. Amethyst, Thunder Shirt, Rescue Remedy, Vet visits, CBD oil and lots and lots of care…still couldn’t help our little pup.

Death. Humor. Coping. Sometimes you need to see the funny spots to help you get through the tragedy, so you can do what you need to do. Insert a long story about my Grandfather’s passing and how I helped keep my mom together with really bad (but welcoming) humor.

Sunscreen…NO…Use SUNBLOCK: Make sure your sunblock has zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide…NOT the chemicals that react on the skin with the sun-rays…those are toxic and carcinogenic! Take it from someone who’s had melanoma razored out of her arm in a huge AMA approved section…once. Different strategy if it happens again.

Pet Cameos/tricks for treats:

Lazy Shiva dog does a “High Five” from the floor resting position.

Crazy Capri Kitty tries to bite my fingers off (while doing tricks) because she goes ga-ga over a certain kind of treat.

♥ Laughter Yoga Breathing Exercise: Just breathe. Deep inhales and deep exhales…Especially if under stress or duress. Get that oxygenation in to keep the bad stuff out.

♦♦♦Hoop Tutorial “The Vortex” with back hand hoop pick up, first:

♦ 1. Get that back hand pickup first. Follow the tips and tricks to avoid “Hoop E.D.” aka “hoop droop.”
♦ 2. Above the head, hand-off from one to another with a thumb to thumb inside grip.
♦ 3. Repeat. Back pick up with one hand, then place down with other hand. You can hand off from hand to hand in a continuous loop cycle.

Additional Inspiration/Quotations:

♦ “Life is like a roller coaster. Once you sit down and lock in, you are in for all of it: the fun, the scared, the exhilarated, and the upchuck.” ~ Che’ Rippinger
♦ “Sit Down. Strap In. Shut Up.” ~flight cockpit t-shirt saying
♦ My mamma used to say “You know how to make a short story, long!” ~ Cam Goodman (Che’s mamma)

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show~Imagine with Ann Humphreys

By Che Rippinger | June 11, 2018

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show

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

“Imagine” Show Special Guest Ann Humphreys

This edition of the Hoop Love Ya’ll Show we have a very *special* guest Ann Humphreys of Line and Circle bringing and teaching her core foundation hoop workshop, all the way from North Carolina, USA. This is a very special show edition–filled with personal stories with Ann and Che’, a little learnin’, a lot of laughing, and of course we get hooping! You’ll learn some great master tips, so grab your hoop and In~Joy! Welcome to the circle♥
~ Hoop love ya’ll from Che’ Rippinger, your host and founder of Hip The Hoopla~Humorous Hoop Dance and Happy Health

Topics we explore:
Ann’s core hooping has a history and a beautiful journey. Her new endeavors have come through dealing with her own health issues, what she has learned, and what she does now to achieve a beautifully stunning physique–not only through her long love of hoop dancing, but also her more recent path of weight and power lifting. Learn what “brown fat” is and why being cold can be a sign of some other things. Ann also mentions she was once a smoker, and why she’s never going back to that. She actively demonstrates how being a beautiful hooper on the inside and outside, has nothing to do with age or even experience, when you use your journey to imagine your own life, path, and goals.

She leads us in some mastery lessons for new and experienced hoopers how to use your root chakra, hips, leading and following legs and arms and how to engage the heart in a beautiful flow of mesmerizing chest hooping. Funny story of how Jonathan Baxter unites many hoopers (including Ann and Che’!) from his Hoop Path Training. His “going blind” technique using a blindfold, really helps get you in tune with your movement and soulful relation to your hoop. Ann also humors Che’ by showing a couple of coin and jawbreaker moves she’s working on, courtesy of fellow hooper Dizzy Dynamic.

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show-Expansion

By Che Rippinger | March 12, 2018

Hoop Love Ya'll Show-Health, Humor, Hooping ~ Theme: Expansion with Che Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show ~ Expansion Theme

Health, Humor and Hooping Tips and Tricks with Che’ Rippinger

In This Show Episode: Expansion (from limitation)–my constricted dietary journey with new health lessons & yum to try sugar substitutes, “Limiting” hooping – expansion moves from floor positions-including nose hooping!

~ Hoop Love, Ya’ll!~Che’ Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla
Enjoy & tune in weekly~Thank You!

Expansion (from Limitation) Topics in This Episode:

•Health Tips – Laughter Yoga Breathing exercises:

Laughter Yoga Breathing Exercises-Fountain Laughter and New “Nose & Belly Breathing” technique.

• Health Information – My personal health challenge journey with Candida and doing a sugar cleanse and elimination “diet”–

Expanding my knowledge of body, gut and food, including new things to try with a limited list of “You can eat this, you cannot eat that.”

•Hooping Tricks, Tips and Techniques: Expansion from Limitation hooping

Try floor hooping and exploring the variety of hoop moves from the ground

Wall plane, wheel plane, isolations and variations, breaks and paddles, folds, twisties, head hooping, and even NOSE hooping! (3rd try is a charm!)
Local: “Expansion from Limitation” Hoop Workshop Tuesday, 3/113/18 6:30pm at Namaste Studio, 701 Garrison Street, Lakewood, Colorado 80215, USA (and online class offerings, too!).

…Plus some sweet kitty Capri and puppy cameos to get you smiling/laughing!

**•Yum To Try/Helpful and Healthful recommendations*:**

1. Zevia Zero Calorie Soda-

A light tasting very yummy NO-sugar, no-caffeine, comes in many flavors, NATURAL alternative. A nice sweet treat instead of the mainstream immune system hindering sodas and pops containing high sugar/corn syrup/toxic aspartame/chemical sweetener .

2. Organic Lemon Juice (bottled) and organic lemons

You can grate the lemon zest for a lovely lemon aroma and flavor to many dishes from veggies, main course, to desserts and sugar free, high alkaline drink (water is still #1 in healthy)!

3. Coconut Amino Acids

Super yum and a great sweet & salty alternative to soy sauce and soy amino acids–tastes like Teriyaki sauce!

*Of Course: check with your doctor before trying any of these for yourself. Everyone and body is different, and reacts differently depending on when you take things, in what quatities and in combination with other things–so do be careful and do your own research. These are helpful for *me* and are things I’ve learned through having a health food store with my mom, and learning a lot along the way from other sources as well.

YUM TO TRY Recipes!

♥ Sautéd Veggies with Coconut Amino Acids:

• Pour 1-2 Tablespoons of Avocado or Olive oil in a stove top pan over medium heat.
•Add your favorite cut up veggies of your choice to pan (like sliced up brussels sprout, onion, in order of density and cooking time needed–add minced, crushed or fine sliced garlic last and greens that can wilt in like kale which is pretty hearty, then spinach which is more tender).
• Add tumeric with ground pepper to taste for great health benefits and maximum benefit/absorption.
• For extra flavor sprinkle some fresh (bottled works well, too–go for the organic) lemon zest and/or lemon juice.

♥ “Gourmet” Popcorn :

• 2 Tablespoons Organic Coconut oil in a lid handy large pan/pot.
• Add 1/4-1/2 cup of popcorn and Cover with a lid and cook over high heat until popping diminishes (and before it starts to smoke/burn!)
(I’m going to try popping Sorghum kernels as a corn alternative–but you have to constantly keep that moving so it doesn’t burn!)
• Add some great spices afterwards! Try a Mexican blend with chili powder (start with a little, you can always add more!), paprika (especially smoked!) and onion salt, or cinnamon and stevia, or a kettle sweet and salty taste treat spraying a fine mist of coconut amino acids over and shuffling the mix until lightly coated (but not soaked!)

Hoop Love Yall Show ~ Relaxing Theme

By Che Rippinger | February 19, 2018

Hoop Love Yall Show-Health, Humor and Hooping: Relaxing Theme with Wedgies and Escalators

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show ~ Relaxing Theme

Health, Humor and Hooping Tips and Tricks with Che’ Rippinger

In This Show Episode: Relaxing is our theme with suggestions on using Lavender, Kava, 5HTP, Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc combo~ to help with sleep, de-stressing, relaxing, anxiety, insomnia and overall happy health.

~ Hoop Love, Ya’ll!~Che’ Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla
Enjoy & tune in weekly~Thank You!

Health & Humor-

• Laughter Yoga Breathing Exercise

• Health Tips – Tapping–“release and peace” short tapping introduction and tapping example session, Recommending Nick Ortner for great Tapping books, videos, etc.

…Plus Several very silly Pet Cameos that includes kitty Capri, Shiva, Caly and visiting big pup Brown!

Helpful and Healthful To Try / Health Recommendations*-

• Lavender–several helpful tips and tricks I use and how you can incorporate them for your daily life (including de-stressing a trip to the dentist), Dr. Bronner’s Lavender Organic Hand Sanitizer and trying lavender in a tincture or tea.
• Kava–great for relaxation, sleep and de-stressing. Demonstration on how I use the tincture. My experience with trying out the new local Mad Hatters Kava Bar with fun flow and hoop friends. (https://www.facebook.com/madhattersmilehigh)
• 5HTP–My all natural “happy pill(s)” which actually can help you sleep. (all of these do not have a “sleep hangover” or drowsiness upon waking component like other medications can).
• Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc–Great for helping with sleep and reducing the lactic acid buildup that creates sore muscles.

*Of Course: check with your doctor before trying any of these for yourself. Everyone and body is different, and reacts differently depending on when you take things, in what quatities and in combination with other things–so do be careful and do your own research. These are helpful for *me* and are things I’ve learned through having a health food store with my mom, and learning a lot along the way from other sources as well.

Hooping Tips and Tricks/Hoop Hacks-

• Wonderful World of Wedgies and Escalators–several helpful tips and tricks I use and have learned (advice from Nick Guzzardo, Valentina of Twisted Orbit and Emma Kenna) and how you can incorporate them for your daily life (and go on to create or learn new variations with these as a base.)
I like using the grip escalator when releasing my hoop isn’t a safe option. Be careful when working on wedgies repeatedly as they can bruise your inner thighs, and that’s painful and no fun!
