 Becky Borczon Blake - FIT after 50 
Picture
Becky Borczon Blake  -  Actress, Singer, and Fitness Enthusiast
  • Began using a hula hoop for fitness after she saw girls "placidly and beautifully" hooping at a bluegrass music festival.  Now she hoops at music festivals!
  • At age 64, Becky calls hooping "my treat and reward."  She hoop-dances for meditation and as the part of her varied fitness regimen that she looks forward to - "I do it for love - moving is fabulous."
  • Her hula hoop was key in recovery after two total hip replacement surgeries.
  • Becky weight-trains, mixing up free weights and circuit machines, 2-3 times per week.
  • She walks a lot:  uses a pedometer and aims for 12 - 15,000 steps a day.  She also uses a 10#-weighted vest and walking poles when she walks outside.
  • She makes her hoops with a 3/4" PVC pipe, 160 psi and uses holographic, electrical, and gaffer tape.
  • Gets her cool hooping pants from Hoopclothes  (hoopclothes.com).
  • She recommends the beginner's hooping video from Hoopnotica.com.
  • Becky has appeared on three episodes of Law and Order and she also sings with the Billy Blues Band.
  • "Hooping helps with balance and posture.  It is an excellent way to strengthen your core and support your spine.  Exercise is as close as I can come to the Fountain of Youth!  Energy begets energy;  your posture helps you do things and doing things helps your posture."

  • Editor's note:  I was so motivated after talking to Becky, I immediately did my personal best stair-stepper session in the gym! Her positive attitude is inspirational.
