Christine MacDonald Lost 60 Pounds Hooping

WCSH Channel 6 in Portland, Maine, reports that three years ago, Christine MacDonald suffered from back problems and got winded after walking up a flight of stairs. Then her daughter received a hula hoop for her third birthday. "I saw it sitting on the floor so I decided...I wonder if I can still do this." She was amazed at how great a workout it was, and was determined to get better. Today Christine has lost 60 pounds thanks to hula hooping, and now teaches others how to hoop at Miss Fit Hooping. Full story with video: WCSH

  Track of the Week


cosmic cowboysAli Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté

Our two tracks for the week start off with Cosmic Cowboys and their new release "One Last Whisper." We're especially loving the Hiro Remix which is why we've added it to the Hoop Sounds iPod below. Check it out and other mixes and download yours on iTunes by clicking:

Cosmic Cowboys - One Last Whisper EP - One Last Whisper

Next we cool things down with a track for some dreamier hooping. The track is called "Ruby" from the new release from Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté of Mali. We think you're going to like it. Give it a listen on the iPod and get your copy on iTunes by clicking:
