The Winchester Star in Winchester, Virginia, reports, “Hour-long classes, held by Hedgesville, W.Va.-based Boomtown Hoops, teach a different kind of ‘hooping’ than that common in backyards and recess fields. There, people learn hooping routines that can offer a full-body workout. ‘It’s a fun way to exercise,’ said Stephanie Connell, 22, who teaches classes along with her mother, Boomtown Hoops founder Melody Robinson. … And, according to Connell, a person doesn’t need any particular ‘hooping’ mojo to get started. ‘I think anybody can hoop.’” Full story: Winchester Star
