Alright. By now you should know which direction you like to hoop in. Either to the right or to the left. Now, let's learn how to hoop on our waist and actually keep it there. Go ahead and place one foot in front of the other. It doesn't matter which one. Either one. Place the hoop on the small of your back. Again, and now give the hoop a push in the direction that feels most natural to you. Nice. Start to be aware of the hoop. You'll feel it rolling across your belly and across your back. As the hoop rolls across your belly, push forward. As the hoop rolls across your back, push back. Start to shift your weight forward and back and your feet. Keep that momentum going. Nice. Again, one foot forward, one back feeling the hoop roll across your belly pushing forward. Feeling the hoop rolling across the back, pushing back. Keep that going. If it drops, it's okay. The hoop is going to drop. Just go ahead and pick it up and try again. Nice.
