Beginner Hula Hoop Tricks Vol. 3: Knees to Waist Hooping Transfer

[@dalynnmontgomery505]

I've been trying to do this for a few weeks. Your tutorials have helped me a lot! I can fairly consistently leg hoop now (when I am not too tired) and I can occasionally get it to rise up my leg to just below the butt but not yet to waist. soon though. soon! Thanks for the help!!

[@CantaNeko]

+Dalynn Montgomery you got this!

[@kristoforwood1203]

This helped so much!!!! Had that AHHAAA moment! When you feel it roll acrossw the top of your left knew lightly bump it and it flows up!!

[@hairlear1020]

Thank you!! I get! I understand!!! You explained so well!!❤️❤️❤️👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@hoopsmiles]

I'm so glad!

[@MoniqueChabotCR]

[@hairlear1020]

[@hoopsmiles]

Haha thank you!!

[@fnado3000]

I swear, whenever I try to learn a new move from someone else I can't get it, and then I watch your explanation and I get it every damn time. You're an excellent and thorough teacher. Thank you soo much for all the insight!!!

[@hoopsmiles]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you got this trick. This one does take some practice definitely to get it. Thanks for your kind words.

[@camiliaskowron5177]

Just wondering, but what kind of a hoop do you use for all of these tutorial videos??

[@kristyannodetteagar]

Thank you so much! Finally got my hoop up! So helpful! :)

[@heenathakker921]

I can hoop on waist. But I have used weighted hoop of PRORION. but for other tricks do I have to used the lighter weight hoop

[@daniellehook3902]

[@beatv13]

[@alexissteele1689]

your slow motion was so epic just arms raising like "cant touch this"

[@opheliafox2802]

Omg I did it at last! The only vid I've had with success thanks so much! (Oww my poor knees lol)

[@hoopsmiles]

Hooray! That's awesome :-)

[@AetherealGirl]

This is so difficult. I just can't seem to get it.

[@SaphiraFeo]

This is so helpful! These are exactly the mistakes I always made when I try this trick^^ Thank you a lot for the tutorial :)

[@hoopsmiles]

You are welcome. I'm glad it was helpful :-)

[@lflana10]

I'm so sorry didn't mean to dislike this video ... Damn stupid phone haha like like like very helpful!

[@Jessica-ql7lh]

I just started hula hooping and have mastered hooping above my knees but I'm completely black and blue. Is there anything I can do to avoid this or is this a normal initiation of hooping lol

[@gabifrostbutter8207]

You can try a lighter hoop but some bruising is normal

[@LADYPEACH26]

Omg thanks, I've watched tons of videos about this trick, and yours was the only one I fully understood. A week later, here I am, able to do it :D

[@NanaKrystl]

You do such a great job explaining the moves. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks!

[@hoopsmiles]

Thank you. I appreciate your comment :-)

[@heenathakker921]

Seriously. True for me also

[@marshmallowgmod6910]

i dont know how but i about always hula hoop on my leg so i been know :P

[@kanishka4428]

It dosent work unare not abale to teach for me

[@hoopsmiles]

How big is your hoop? Sometimes the hoop size you are using can make this trick much harder

[@renardmigrant]

I've just paused the video at 5 minutes. I've been having the problem you describe here, my leg motion causes the front of the hoop to go up, but not the back, so it becomes more angled but doesn't go up! Looking at you, I think your second contact point is actually the back of the right leg, driven by the right hip. I will give this a go. And watch the remainder of the video, obviously.

[@hoopsmiles]

Thanks for sharing. Sounds frustrating. Have you attempted using different hoops for this trick?

[@renardmigrant]

hoopsmiles Six months later(!!) Got it, using the back of my left hamstring as the opposite push point. Same as you just a mirror image.

[@mantarachel]

I've been trying this with my legs vastly too far apart, thank you so much this makes so much more sense! I am way too excited to try out all of these things thank you so much! :D

[@hoopsmiles]

Right on. That's great :-)

[@Melissa_939]

I've been working on this move for about a month and I was able to move my hoop up to just beneath my hips, but I struggled so much with that last few inches. And now, thanks to you, I can do it! Not really smooth, but that'll come, lol. The thing that worked for me was that you said to keep that body movement going on beside the movement of the leg. Thanks! *so happy*

[@hoopsmiles]

Right on that's awesome :-)

[@mandyrutherford6357]

I just read your comment, continued playing the video I had stopped right before that part, and did it for the first time! Haven't done it perfectly for a second time yet, but now I know what to do! Just need practice!

[@mirandamartin3445]

That was so helpfull Thank you so much !! God bless you !! Have a wonderful day !!!

[@hoopsmiles]

Thanks. God bless you too :-)

[@gillhaslam7961]

Trying so hard with this but when I start pushing my knee forward the hoop drops. I hoop to the left and use my left leg to push the hoop. Also I can sometimes get the hoop up to the top of my thighs after extreme amount of effort but it won't move up past my butt. You make it look so easy! No hoop help where I come from so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Have been trying this for a year now.

[@hoopsmiles]

Have you tried doing this trick with other hoops? What size and type of hoop do you use?

[@gillhaslam7961]

@@hoopsmiles Thanks for replying. I have tried different hoop sizes. I'm thinking the problem might be my posture. I've backed off for a while because I've hurt my hip trying to do this. Physio corrected it but I think I'll skip this one before I do more serious damage. Thanks for the great tutorial though.

[@hoopsmiles]

@@gillhaslam7961 you are welcome. Leg hooping can be a tricky one. I acknowledge you for listening to your body

[@glucksgarten9122]

What Size is this hoop?

[@hoopsmiles]

I don't remember exactly, but if I had to guess, it's probably 35 inches in diameter, 1/2 inch tubing

[@Zimuahaha]

I find that I have to really exaggerate that foot/knee movement to get the hoop from knees to thighs. I was able to do it several times for the first time yesterday! But now my legs are completely lit up with bruises, lol!

[@Zimuahaha]

Wow, so this took me forever! 8 months later, I can finally get it up every time with my big dance hoop! Granted, I did give up on it many times during those months. Now, onto getting it every time with the smaller ones...

[@josannejackson25]

Well done! Just starting out at the bruising stage myself, so maybe I'll be there in 8 months, then!

[@Zimuahaha]

Good luck! You might get it more quickly than I did. I gave up a lot, lol. Keep at it!

[@jaquelinvillegas9826]

Lovely, you rock!!!

[@cindyTangle]

i got that hoop

[@notimeforlove9535]

Thank you ♥♥

[@hoopsmiles]

You're welcome 😊

[@nivedita8261]

[@hoopsmiles]

lol. I wish I could. I don't speak the language. Perhaps, someone could help me.

[@heenathakker921]

Don't worry. We would learn English
