I'm sort of in the same boat, though I've been focusing more on what I can do with two body hoops (or minis + 1). The size makes such a difference! I'm guessing your new ones were smaller? I have trouble multi-hooping on the body with my 1/2" 125psi 30" hoops... I can body hoop with one at that size, but I was really hoping to bridge the multi/mini gap so I could have more options without changing hoops... alas, it isn't happening yet. Though I think too large can be harder in multiple too.

The 4 new ones are 32 inch ones (the 3 previous were 33s).

I do find that 2 hoops is somewhat easier (just even to keep track of mentally!) :)

Yeah, it's amazing what a difference an inch can make. Of course that's ~3.14" in circumference, right?

I still think I'll grow into the smaller ones. (Though that sounds a bit backwards!) I remember when 36" seemed too small, & now I love them. I just keep trying from time to time...

So you want to learn to do 4 hoops at once?

You should start with two. Practice with them on these 4 parts of your body: waist, knees, chest, hands above the head. So for example, practice waist & chest; then waist and hands; then waist and knees; then knees and chest... etc. You see what Im saying? Once your comfortable with two hoops in all those 4 places on your body add a third hoop. Practice one on waist, chest, hands, etc... then add the 4th: Have one on your knees, one on the waist, one on the chest, one on the hands.

Or if you're asking the best way to add hoops on while your already hooping, the kick start works pretty well. Or just start them all on your waist and split them up from there.
