If you are doing a lot of waist hooping, remember to keep your arms engaged!! Either by holding them up straight out to your side (in a wingspan) or above your head like a ballerina might.

Also, remember to work in both currents. I like to do this by spending a couple minutes hooping to the left and then a couple to the right. I have been spending about ten minutes on my waist alternating currents and foot positions. I.e. Dominant current first with feet shoulder width apart, second with right foot forward, third with left foot forward. For an additional challenge, put whichever foot is in front in a "high heeled shoe" position. I.e. Back foot flat front foot on ball of foot. This engages the core even more. If you really want a challenge, try to lift that front foot off the floor. Repeat all this in your alternant current.

This may not make any sense written. I can try to explain better.


Happy hooping!
