track of the week
Morgan Page: The Longest Road (Deadmau5 Remix)

This week's hoop track is by DJ/Producer Morgan Page featuring vocals by Lissie and it's called "The Longest Road." We're particularly loving the Deadmau5 Remix, so much so that we've added it up top to our listening station. And, as always, you can also hear it and check out other mixes and even download it for yourself on iTunes by clicking:

Will Hooping Help Me?

mailbox Rhonda writes, "Dear Hooping.org. I'm just starting out. I have lower back problems - it's fused, but my tummy is huge after losing 70 lbs. and I can't find anything to help make it smaller. Will hooping help? Also I walk kind of hunched over because my muscles are all so weak and walking alone isn't enough. Can hooping help me?"
- Rhonda T., Imperial, CA
Hooping.org isn't really qualified to answer this question other than to simply say yes, but we know there are those of you out there with more health related expertise, as well as personal experience. So we ask you, dear hooping community, what do you think?
