How To Correctly Use The Hoops
- Begin by grasping the hula hoop in one hand while standing with feet spread out, and one foot should be six to eight inches in front of the other. If you spin counterclockwise, start to weigh your right foot forward. If you rotate clockwise, begin with your left foot forward.
- If you are beginning, you might want to practice the hula motion. You can practice the action without the hoops first, make small backward and forward movements with your hips while shifting your weight slightly from heels to your toes and back to your heels again. Keep repeating this motion till you feel comfortable.
- Hold the hoop around your waist with the back hook on the small of your waist, just over your hips. Hips should be pointing down slightly from the front.
- Once in position, rotate the hoop and attempt to catch it with the front hip as you begin moving back and forth. You can also control the speed at which the hoop spins by making changes to the rate at which you move your hips.
