Multi-hoop body hooping


I finally had some luck with multi-hoop body hooping! It's not so much different from regular hooping. Before attempting to hoop at both the waist and chest, you need to be able to hoop at the waist and chest individually with ease (obviously)! You also need to be able to do the waist to chest shimmy with no hands. If you're having some trouble, a great tutorial can help!

Some tips to start: use two large, heavy hoops that are the same size. Start them on your waist and perform the shimmy up move. If both hoops move up, let one fall back down to your waist. Usually if the hoops are heavier, only one hoop will come up. I generally have both hoops start coming up, then stop doing the shimmy halfway through. The bottom hoop will fall, and the other hoop will continue up.

The movement to keep the bottom hoop moving will be your body shifting weight from foot to foot. You shift your entire body back and forth on the balls of your feet to keep the waist hooping going. The movement to keep the chest hoop going will be very similar to regular chest hooping.

If the chest hoop is spinning at the same rate as the waist hoop, then you'll just need to continue shifting your weight back and forth. However, the chest hoop will eventually start spinning split time with your waist hoop. At that time. you're going to need to push your chest out and in opposite the movement of the hoop. This is where the heavier hoop helps a lot. The heavier hoop will put more pressure on your body, so you'll have a better awareness of its position on your body.

If this helped you, or you have any other tips, post them below!
