Hula Hoop Tutorials

Hey hoopers, 

 

Learn this continuous folding mandala with me...let's get started! 

​

-Starting with the hoop in my left hand i have my palm facing up. My arm is fully extended to my side. 

​

-I'm going to fold the hoop onto my arm, so it hits my neck.

​

-I'm then going to take my right hand and I'm going to grip the hoop right in front of my left collarbone.

​

-The hoops then going to fold over my head as I regrip with my left hand at nine o'clock and the right hand is going to extend straight over my head.

​

-I'm then going to bend forward slightly and then the hoop is going to swing from my right side all the way to the left.

​

-Once the hoop is in line with my left shoulder, I need to start bringing my left elbow up.

​

-This is going to cause the hoop to essentially kind of fold behind me and brush against my back.

​

-Your arms will be crossed in front of your face while this happens.

​

-You will then just straighten that right arm once again and then the motion will start over.

​

-You will do that motion twice, then on the last one your hoop will end up on your right side then you will straighten the right arm to your right side. your palm will be facing forwards, but just flip the wrist and face it up and start over.

Hey hoopers, today we are going to be learning this fun combo which is a palm spin to infinity toss to step through to wedgie...lets get started!

​

-Starting with the hoop in my left hand, I have my left palm above my head and I'm keeping my palm very flat. I need to have my fingers flexed back. I'm going to twist my wrist to cause the hand spin as I let go of the hoop. Once the hoop does one full rotation on my hand, I am going to regrip the hoop.

​

-With my left hand I will then swing the hoop back behind me and up, so it once again meets the front of my left shoulder.

​

-With my right hand I'm going to grab the hoop and will swing the hoop back behind me and up letting go of the hoop behind my shoulder so the hoop will toss over my shoulder. I will catch the hoop with my left hand and repeat the toss with my left hand.

​

-I will then extend one leg forward and with drop the hoop onto my foot, I need to have my foot flexed back.

​

-Bend your knee as you bring your leg up and bring your arms through the hoop and guide the hoop over your head. 

​

-Pinch the hoops between your mid thighs and start pumping the legs by driving one knee over the other switching legs each time.

​

Hey hoopers, today we are going to be learning this beginner double hoops move called an iso flower. you will need 2 hoops that are the same size…let’s get started!

​

-Start with both hoops spinning on your hand and then you are going to point your thumb up which is going to help separate the two hoops; one hoop needs to be spinning on your wrist and the other hoops needs to be spinning on your hand.

​

-You're then going to grip the hoop that is spinning on your hand. you are going to do an isolation with that hand; so you are going to trace the hoop in a circle with your hand. once you get to about 10 o'clock you are going to need to do a grip change, so the hoop will roll over that back of your hand and then you will regrip continuing to trace the circle.

​

-The easiest way to get out of the move just regrip both hoops, although there are many more ways to get out of it.

Hey hoopers, today we are going to be learning a double hoop lock to double wedgie…let’s get started!

​

-Starting with both hoops in front of my, i'm going to stick a leg through the hoops and then i'm going to pull the front hoop upwards over my head and then in going to bring my arms through the hoop. 

​

-As that happens the leg that went through the hoop needs to come behind the bottom hoop in order to cause the double hoop lock.

​

-To get out of the double hoop lock, unlock your foot from the bottom hoop and pull that hoop upwards so the bottom of the hoop gets to mid thigh height, so it is the same height as the other hoop.

​

-From there we will start the double wedgies by driving one knee over the other switching legs each time.

Hey hoopers, today we are going to be learning a behind the back spin toss to downward escalator to leg hooping…let’s get started.

​

-Starting with the hoop in my right hand I'm bringing my hand behind my back I really need to bend backwards so squeeze those glutes.

​

-I'm spinning the hoop for one rotation then tossing the hoop up by flicking my hand upwards.

​

-From there you need to catch the hoop with a palm up grip with my right hand. The top of the hoop should land between your four fingers and your thumb so you can grip the hoop.

​

-You will then swing the hoop around you by first swinging the hoop in front of you and continuing the motion so the hoop swings behind you making contact with your right shoulder for the downward escalator; so the hoop will make contact with your back shoulder blades and will fall down the body making contact with the right ribs and the hoop will escalade down your body.

​

-At the bottom of the escalator step your right leg out of the hoop. 

​

-Then pull the hoop across your left shin and then swing your left leg/ left foot up and back and that is going to help get into the motion for leg hooping.

Hey hoopers,

​

Learn this hoop trick with me: Walk the dog to a 3 hoop globe!

​

TIP: ALL 3 HOOPS NEED TO BE THE SAME SIZE, It also helps to have grip tape on the inner edge of the hoops

​

- Start by doing a walk the dog by swinging your hoop back, then as you swing your arm forward use your wrist to flick the hoop up and back; this is going to give the hoop a backspin. Your other 2 hoops should be in your opposite hand.

​

- As the hoop is rolling back, adjust your position so you will end up behind the hoop; while adjusting your stance, separate your 2 hoops so you are holding 1 hoop in each hand. 

​

- Next, catch the hoop with your other 2 hoops by sandwiching the rolling hoop with your other 2 hoops.

​

- Once the rolling hoop has been sandwiched with the other 2 hoops, cross the 2 vertical hoops, this will lock in that rolling hoop!

​

- Now raise your hoop globe off the ground and have some fun with it!

Hey Hoopers,

​

Learn this hoop move with me: Walk the dog to wedgie duck through!

​

-Start with the hoop in your left hand vertical at your side, gripping the hoop so the thumb is towards the ground.

​

- Flick the hoop with your wrist so the hoop starts to move forward and up. Right before you release the hoop, flick your wrist back to give the hoop some backspin.

​

TIP: IT HELPS IF YOUR POINTER FINGER IS STRAIGHT ON THE HOOP!

​

- As the hoop is coming back, get ready to step your right foot into the hoop from behind (you step with the opposite leg than the hand you through the hoop with).

​

-Practice bringing your knee that caught the hoop up and across your opposite leg.

​

- Once the hoop is across the opposite leg, bring the standing leg up and across the other leg. Repeat this until you have the rhythm to do a wedgie.

​

- Once you are comfortable with that, start crouching as the hoop is moving up towards your right hip.

​

- Duck and lift your leg so the hoop can swing over you and off your leg. you will need to lift your left leg.

​

-Swing the hoop up and over your head and catch it with your right hand.
