Front Balance

I've been working hard on this. On the baby hoop. It's fun when I show my teacher, and she's wowed. She says she has some intermediate students who can't do it this well. I guess this is my "strength"? When she says everyone has their strengths and weaknesses...

Anyway, after not being able to attempt this Saturday on that super high hoop (too skert), I forced myself today with my favorite medium height hoop. It was still scary. But I kept reminding myself, it's just like the baby hoop because I can do it without touching the ground. Totally mental. This was after several tries, of course, but not a bad attempt...

Also, don't have video of this, but I made progress on my momentum swing to seated. I tried it three times. On the third try, I managed to almost sit. I felt the hoop slide across my butt. I was tired, though. I'll keep practicing this and try to get a video of me doing it, maybe. Eventually, the idea is to swing up into ball at the top of the hoop. But I'm not ready for that just yet...
