How To Hula Hoop For Beginners - Step By Step Guide



Hey there!

I have created this step by step guide on how to hula hoop for beginners to help start you on your hooping journey! Whether you are hula hooping for weight loss or learning to hoop dance this guide will help you on your way!
How to hula hoop for beginners:

Step 1 - Hold your hula against the small of your back, keep your hoop on a flat plane and don't let it droop, this is very important as you need good control of your hoop!

Step 2 - Stand with one foot in front of the other with your feet flat on the ground.

Step 3 - Give your hula hoop a firm push around your body and begin swinging your hips forward and back (you do not do circular motions with your hips) this is a push pull movement that comes from swinging your hips back and forth. When the hula hoop touches your belly you push forward and when it travels round to your back you push back. Again making sure your feet stay flat on the ground and you're not lifting your heels or toes. 

Step 4 - Keep your knees soft as this will allow a better range of movement from your hips. Stand up tall and keep your shoulders back and down. Try looking forward and becoming aware of when the hoop is crossing over your stomach and back. This will help your body synchronise with the hula hoop.

Step 5- Remember to breathe, smile and have fun! You've taken the first step to a new you :)

I hope this guide has helped you to hula hoop!

P.S Don't be discouraged if you drop the hoop a lot at first, it took me a full week to get the hoop spinning more than 1 revelation, keep at it because you will still be burning calories! :)
