It's Not Luck

Sometimes I think to myself 'I am so lucky that happened' and then I have to correct myself because 99% of the time it's not luck, it's hard work and determination.

I read somewhere that women are more likely to put their achievement down to luck rather than credit their own ability and hard work. It actually goes further than that into something called Impostor Syndrome where people feel like fakes and live in fear that one day someone will discover this and realise they aren't that good after all (more common in women). 

I see it a lot in HoopFit. Someone who spins 10 hoops in their first class, 'Beginners luck' they say. Um, NO!! Think again. Maybe it's your strong core, great coordination or the fact that you just dug in and gave it a red hot shot??

Either way no more of this lucky rubbish, you are awesome so don't give the credit to luck! Own it!

Paddle Boards, Fresh Juices, Yoga and Fashion

Despite a bad start to the day I had the best day last Saturday, I had gone to get into my sisters car which I am borrowing and realised it had been broken into, if you've been following my FB posts you'll know that Mum's car had broken down a few days earlier too. And then there was the rain, yes it does rain in Perth! I know moan, moan, moan but you only have to look at the photos to see that I had a fabulous day!

Big thanks to Lululemon Perth for having us, Stand Up Surf Shop for having the patience to teach me to paddle board regardless of my refusal to try with out my Hoops and Nestle and Crush for letting me have far more than a few tasters! I felt nourished in every way!

It Makes My Butt Look Huge

Talk about awkward.. I was trying on a skirt yesterday, I turned around to check out the back view and said 'Oh wow it make my butt look huge!!'.

The sales assistant went into full blown panic mode, reassuring me that my butt was actually tiny, that I was very skinny and had nothing to worry about. 

All I could think is, has this woman been living under a rock? Big butts are in fashion and if you don't believe me read it in Vogue! Beyonce, Iggy Azalea come on... How did this sales assistant not realise that, the skirt was sold until she called me skinny!!! Strong not skinny people thats what we want!

Now not all of us can have big butts or have the time to do a million squats. And it sucks that the media are able to shape our bodies the same way they shape our views but they do and I think its about time that big butts got their turn!

I like big butts and I can not lie hahaha

3 Things That HoopFit Newbies Should Know

1. You don't need to know how to hoop to come to HoopFit 

Firstly we use adult hoops in class which are weighted to make it easier to get in the spin. Secondly your teacher has a wealth of knowledge to trouble shoot any waist hooping issues you might have. 

2. Hooping is rehabilitative   

If you are looking for a low impact work out that will strengthen your entire body, this is it. Focussing on the core will strengthen the spin, improving flexibility, posture and so much more. 

3. It isn't just about your body, it's about your mind.

The added bonus is that HoopFit is fun! We laugh a lot in HoopFit which has countless benefits including lowering blood pressure and reducing stress. Come a long for a giggle, you might just get fit too.
