Thanks so much for this! I just recently made a duplicate of my favorite hoop to try multi hooping, & it is a whole new challenge! I've been going about it in a completely backwards way I think. I'm excited to try your method tonight!

So are you saying that the timing of the push is just slightly separated (hip, then chest) or are they on the same beat? Or completely alternated? I'm truly clueless as you can probably tell! All I've managed to sustain with any control is one hoop in the hand & one on the body.

Yep, just slightly separated! I was trying to do it together and that so didn't work. It's kinda a rocking motion. like a quick wave up the body. :-) Good Luck!

Okay I think I get it-- I'll be trying it out soon! Thanks again for sharing your insights!

I keep forgetting to tell you-- a while ago (after a long spell devoted to bashing my head against the unyielding wall of reverse current Scissor Switch) I decided to give that particular obsession a rest & try the two hoops again. To my shock, I was able to keep both going for quite a while! It was so gratifying after the S.S. frustration. Your tips definitely helped. Thanks!

I took my twins to Hoop Jam for the first time in honor of World Hoop Day... thanks again for giving me the revelation I needed on this move!

I know... it's incredible really... I wish there was some way to create a real life Hoop City! Maybe Hoop Convergence is like that... or Burning Man... but I've never made it to either. Someday!!

Tonight's Hoop Jam was the closest I've come. Lots of new people showed up, & Caroleeena broke out her fire hoop & poi!

The hoop joy was amazing! I know it's more pervasive on the West Coast, but hooping is just starting to hit critical mass here... it's quite an experience to see it happening.

i found the easiest way for me was to start both at the waist then shimmy to get them to split and one will go to the chest while the other stays on my waist..you have to be able to shimmy up from the waist with no hands for that though..i can't do the knees with anything else yet but multi hooping is fun and way more of a work out..

Ya I wish I could do that! I have a big rib cage and a small waist... so the hoop hits a point of no return (... or rather no continue) just below my ribs. The hoop gets stuck under them and I can't get it over no matter what I do. :-( It's the missing link from my goal of being able to bring the hoop from the floor all the way up to over my head with no hands.

You and me both. That's why I don't do the no-hands shimmy very much, I look like I'm doing a spastic ants-in-my-bra dance or something.

Well....now I can do the shimmy up w/o arms and don't feel so crazy looking. Huh.
