I've been trying to chest hoop for a while. I can shimmy the hoop up, and I can use my arms to get it to my shoulders or neck. However every time I get the hoop to my chest, it just instantly loses…

Onyxphia replied to the discussion 'clinical psych study on the physical and psychological benefits of hooping.....thoughts?????'"I kind of think of my life pre hooping and post hooping. Before I started hooping I would tell people "I CAN'T dance." I CAN'T do sports. I always that kid who would never even try to play soccer. I was the bookworm who would…"

"If it's coming down, it means you're not giving it enough of a push (and/or the counter push) that you need to keep propelling the hoop from that push point. These are really sharp pushes forward and backward (or side to side) and…"
circularlogic replied to the discussion 'chest hooping'"For me the concept that got me into it was following the inside of the hoop with my body-- in other words, moving my upper body in a circle rather than a back-&-forth mode.

fallen replied to the discussion 'chest hooping'"I completely agree with this too! making sure you round your back is essential.
I actually first picked up chest hooping while sitting down on the ground, heels under my butt, which straightened my body. I then focused heavily on making sure that…"
Amanda replied to the discussion 'chest hooping'"Something I found really helpful, particularly for chest hooping, was using a REALLY BIG hoop. It gives you so much more time between rotations to get a feel for it."
Megan of *From the Hip replied to the discussion 'chest hooping'"I agree with both tips above. It takes a good amount of practice to get chest hooping down smooth.
Another suggestion is to make sure you are really rounding your back by pushing both shoulders forward when the hoop goes across your back. If you…"

fallen replied to the discussion 'chest hooping'"Try spinning while chest hooping (this really helped me at first, and continues to do so. If at any time I feel the momentum of the hoop slowing, I give it one or 2 quick spins and all is well).
Also, make sure you're standing up…"

I've been trying to chest hoop for a while. I can shimmy the hoop up, and I can use my arms to get it to my shoulders or neck. However every time I get the hoop to my chest, it just instantly loses momentum. Even when I start at the chest, I can get the hoop to go around maybe four times. If I start at the waist it's even less. I think I have the torso movement down. It feels right. Any suggestions? Help? Tips?
