I'm still technically in the middle of my hooping practice but I had to share this on the site. So I have been hooping for about a month and a half now, trying to get in as much as I can (not enough for me, in my opinion) and I had been having trouble with chest hooping. I decided to take a break from practicing my chest hooping and started to let my hoop slip from my waist to my hips, making sure I could catch it and bring it back up without stopping the motion.

I haven't been able to hoop nearly as much as I would like to for a while now, but I'm still improving little by little each time. I can keep the hoop up a lot longer than I could when I started, and just have more control in general when it comes to waist hooping. My isolations are also becoming more and more steady with each practice session.
