How to Hula Hoop On Your Chest And Shoulders Tutorial For Beginners

[@staryrawri1614]

I love how I'm able to learn hoop tricks from someone who looks like Jesus.

[@luciatan78]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Furby086]

I'm a beginner, I've searched high and low and even asked some fellow hoopers to help me learn. This is the first video I've seen of yours, unfortunately I do not have my hoop to try but I will as soon as I get home! I want to thank you for explaining it in different ways, and just in how you explain it is easy for almost anyone to understand. I appreciate this, and I only hope to get as good as you are.

[@alliepari9277]

You're such a beautiful man. I've been trying to figure this out for weeks! The way you just described it and broke it down just made it click and I picked up my hoop and did it! ( : you're my new favorite person on the internet and on the face of this Earth my dear sir!!! Keep up the hooping!! Teach me more!

[@hoopsmiles]

Thank you. Glad you were able to get it.

[@looselywired]

I had very neatly given up years of hooping because I could not get chest hooping right...but your brilliant video has worked perfectly for me! You have explained everything so carefully & I am at the stage of dancing my arms in & out! I'm still using a larger hoop to get the technique & rhythm, but the movements are getting smaller & faster with each practice. Thank you for your guiding video, my fitness & hoop enjoyment will never be the same.

[@hoopsmiles]

That's awesome to hear! I'm glad you got chest hooping. It's one of my favorite hula hoop moves

[@heatherevans7281]

Hooping is incredibly peaceful for me... I go out to my garden in the evenings... play sum music n hoop for the stars overhead.... anything that weighs heavy on my mind isn't as heavy afterwards....... and nvrmd about dallas... silly girl with just a silly question.... thanx hoopsmiles

[@sarahfalzarano7652]

I must have watched a dozen hooping tutorials, and yours is the only one that gave me the most valuble information. Ur awesome and i hope with your video and practice ill learn how to chest hoop

[@mostlyshitpostly]

You perfect human being, you! This is the first video that has been any help to me. I have NEVER been able to get this down at all, but I watched this yesterday, made a decent amount of progress with the spinning in the direction of the hoop tip, and today did even better experimenting with foot placement, and I'm getting better at not flapping my arms or exaggerating the movement of the torso. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@wedyenohraindrops]

Also, you are the only clockwise hooper I've found and it's so helpful to watch that instead of watching the counter-clockwise since I hoop to the right as well.

[@laurenthirolf4000]

The beat boxing part was awesome. I just recently started learning how to hoop dance, and your videos are SUPER helpful :) xx

[@hoopsmiles]

Right on. Thanks :-)

[@hoopsmiles]

You are welcome. I remember once I got chest hooping down I felt pretty stoked about it. I think it can sometimes take a little bit before that chest hooping experience is smooth.

[@KissynnU]

Great video! Can't wait to learn how to chest hoop so I can try some of the things you demonstrated. Thank you so much!

[@serenitysproat3846]

I've been watching your videos and I've been progressing a lot! I love that you really show how to do the trick and do it in slow motion and get descriptive on how too thank you so Much hoopsmiles :)

[@stephanienixon8232]

This trick is supposed to take two weeks to learn and I learned it in two days thanks to u! Great video thanks for sharing !

[@hoopsmiles]

Thanks. You might want to practice with a different sized hoop, possibly larger. As you get better you can go back to the 36". I also recommend mastering chest hooping in both directions so when you do use your hand or arm to reverse the hoop you can hoop smoothly in the other direction. Right on. Keep up the hooping.

[@hoopsmiles]

Thanks. Beatboxing and hooping at the same time can be challenging. It's can take a lot to breath, without getting tired, at the same time.

[@lindacrocker5883]

Looking forward to learning how to chest hooping...you make it looks so easy.

[@snailtroll]

oh my gosh chest hooping and beatboxing. i heart you hoopsmiles! thank you!

[@electralight1113]

I've actually kind of got it now. I didn't want to, but I switched to a bigger hoop until I can perfect it. So excited to finally learn this ^_^

[@laurie5135]

I love this Hula Hoop athlete mr. Smiles Keep the smiles shinning

[@hoopsmiles]

Thanks. Chest hooping is one of my favorite hooping moves. I think this might be my longest tutorial and I still could have probably added more.

[@himynameismarkie]

this tutorial is perfect. thanks for all the different tips, i tend to flail so this helps a lot haha

[@1Chrissyko]

All of your vids are really helpful thank you. I have learned so many tricks from you

[@Barbaraska]

Thank you! I follow you since I begun hooping and I learnt so much! You make useful, funny and easy to watch tutorials! Big hug!

[@hoopsmiles]

Thanks for your words. Good to know :)

[@jg.2840]

Seriously amazing. Great advice, beautiful detail. Wonderful energy. This was an incredibly helpful fun video. Thank you.

[@yellowshesaid]

Your videos are amazing! Haha it made me smile when you chest hooped and beat boxed, that was awesome.

[@boobtoob19]

Thank you for this tutorial. I'm so excited to get better at lifting my arms up and down without knocking the hoop off!

[@hoopsmiles]

That's awesome! Chest hooping is probably one of my favorite hoop tricks. So much fun

[@brooklynsobleskey1370]

i competly failed and now my chest hurts.

[@Ravaude]

I GOT IT !!!! so happy, can't believe it, few days practice and thanks to ur video i finally got the trick ! Thanks for the awesome explenation mate !

[@electralight1113]

Omg I've watched so many tutorials on chest hooping and I still can't really do it. This one is so thorough though. I love all the tips. You mentioned things no one else ever did . I'm GOING to learn this now. Thank you ^_^

[@rachelluvskitties3286]

I'm a 'virgin hooper'and just wanted to share that it took me 15 minutes to get my body to learn the body movements of allowing the hoop to roll smoothly over my chest arms and back.. my only problem us the hoop slowing down.. When i try to propel it, the hoop skips the rolling over my chest and/or back. Practice makes perfect so I'm not giving up, Thanks hoopsmiles!! =)

[@jenniferkatz9337]

I just started hooping with a practice, and I want to say, I love your videos! Thank you for making me smile, even if it takes me forever to get the moves. I love it!

[@porcupine87]

Thank you so much!!! Practicing it for two month- no results, than I found your video and I learned it in a week. Not so nice and smooth yet but it's just the matter of time :)

[@marielizabutt]

This was so helpful! You have such a good way of explaining how things work amd getting it to a very understandable level thank you so much for these videos!

[@hoopsmiles]

Thanks :-)

[@cbaire8509]

Many many grateful thanks for this video!! I found chest hooping to be one of the most difficult skills to learn! Love and light.

[@WhitneyHillSPORK]

Awesome! Thank you for the advice. I've been trying to do the chest rolls and was getting very frustrated that the only thing I managed to do, was look like an idiot with a hula hoop crushing her chest. Thanks again!

[@hoopsmiles]

Great question. Yes, it does matter. Depending on the clothing you wear, sometimes hooping on your bare skin can add extra grip.

[@hairlear1020]

Wow!!! This is a great challenge!! Thank you for this information!!!! I will practice!!🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@marmarpones]

Thank you for all your videos! I'm learning so much from you.

[@heatherevans7281]

I really thank u for ur videos... ur my favorite hula teacher... even tho I get a lil jealous sumtimes that U MAKE IT LOOK SOO EASY... ill keep watching for as long as u keep posting such awesome tutorials... : )

[@kiddypartieslorybradford3704]

CANT WAIT TO TRY THESE !!! YOU MAKE IT SEEM SO EASY !!!

[@hoopsmiles]

Right on. You ever practice chest hooping with a larger sized hoop over 45 inches in diameter? I feel like the larger the hoop is the easier chest hooping can be. That's great it's going well for you.

[@buterflyza]

Hey you!! just finished up with your live class online!! thank you! that was fun!! i immediately did this video to keep me going!!

[@hoopsmiles]

Nice! Thanks so much for watching. It was glad to have you watching from Hawaii. This is a good video to learn chest hooping from.

[@Breeslavie]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for mking videos! I've been hooping for a short time and you've def helped me!

[@Unveiledtheblog]

I LOVE YOU BRO. Like I've been struggling with this. Positive energy and tips helps!!!

[@hoopsmiles]

Hey thanks so much!!

[@heatherevans7281]

Hooping is as always going great n a never ending challenge.... I'm 3 months pregnant now n I do worry about how I'm gonna keep hoopin in about 4 or 5 more... but for now... hoopin is my creator of inner peace n tranquilty.... hey hoopsmiles... do u ever travel thru Dallas???

[@hoopsmiles]

Thanks. I remember hooping around one shoulder took some time, but that is definitely a snazzy move.

[@DontFEEDmeAPPLEx]

having boobs makes this near impossible oh god

[@saraXboobear]

DontFEEDmeAPPLEx Right?!?!

[@miladysenior1264]

One word, ow! >.

[@buterflyza]

Having boos definitely adds another element.

[@arisu23c]

Vertical chest hopping tut next please! I would have loved this tutorial when I was learning to chest hoop. Still working on getting the hoop vertical and maintaining it there.

[@michellejimenez7832]

I can shoulder hoop now because of your tutorials, thank you 😊

[@hoopsmiles]

Thanks Jennifer. That's awesome you are into hooping. What hooping move are you into at the moment?

[@kellylacrosse9238]

I really enjoyed your tutorial! You are so fun and pleasant!

[@RedRoseEmoji]

chest hooping is so difficult! it's been the hardest trick for me to learn and I don't know why.. it looks so easy!

[@bellababione1591]

best hoop tutorials ever

[@hoopsmiles]

lol. Thank you. I haven't heard that before about my voice. I appreciate that

[@hoopsmiles]

I made the hoops in this video. I've tried a metal hoop before too. I believe it was an aluminium hoop. It was actually pretty awesome.

[@countrymom4himtx]

Thanks for sharing the tips. I love hooping but have NO flow and chest hooping is kinda like watching Frankenstein when I do it. But I'm gonna use your tips and keep trying.

[@olkusiva]

OMG I LOVE YOU! Such clear and detailed instructions

[@olkusiva]

hoopsmiles It still looks kinda strange (my boobers get in the way :

[@parkssewer341]

I love this guy! He's great, easy to understand and breaks down each move to something I can actually learn! woop! thanks Jon!!

[@abbyschulte6346]

I like esty Hoop Mamas. They have a huge selection and give advice on sizing and tubing. I just bought my first hoop and used hoop mamas. it was only $20.. to figure my sizing i measured 2 inced above my belly button --- and got a 38inch hoop with 3/4" tubing 100PSI with grip tape....LOVE IT

[@Padmaja5]

God bless you Very intelligent ly Explained Thanks

[@hoopsmiles]

I appreciate it

[@hoopsmiles]

You're welcome. Thank you

[@ramonaorourke26]

Will you ever go on a big talent show, cause I REALLY recommend you do! Like Britans got Talent, or whatever is a big talent contest in which country you are in. You are mega helpful and love hooping.

[@Mescalera19]

From minute 6:18 on...this is what your Vids make so special!!! The little details :). Never got it till today! Thxxxx....

[@hoopsmiles]

Right on. Thanks

[@k.3039]

you are awesome! not just learned a lot you kept me entertained. thanks for doing this video!

[@cosmeticscandice]

you make me smile.

[@hoopsmiles]

Thank you :) Dancing while hooping can be a lot of fun.

[@MyMmaFavorites]

Thank you!! Very helpful and well composed! Hugs!!

[@hoopsmiles]

Thank you:)

[@nellyonate8362]

Love your videos hoopsmiles. Thank you. I am trying to learn tricks.

[@hoopsmiles]

Right on :-)

[@hoopsmiles]

To answer your question, I doubt it. My recommendation is to use a much larger hoop if you are having troubles getting the hoop up to your chest and maintaining it there. What is the diameter size of the current hoop you are using?

[@hoopsmiles]

No worries about the question. Hooping under the stars does sound peaceful

[@hoopsmiles]

Nice. That's awesome you are so into your hoop. How's the hooping going now?

[@hoopsmiles]

Thanks. In my jester dance hooping tutorial I also have a section where I'm beat boxing while hooping.

[@amychristianson2904]

Finally advanced enough to try this and this video has helped me so much! All of your videos have! Thank u for being a great teacher and sharing the hoop love with all of us. I read on fb you were still recovering from injury so I hope you feel better really soon! ♡ Amy

[@christinea6318]

You explained it so well . Thank you !!

[@hoopsmiles]

Hey thanks, I appreciate your words.

[@abbyschulte6346]

Well unfortunately I work about 60 hours a week :-( so its hard for me to practice... I probably only get about 2 hours in a week. I started learning real fast, but now I'm stuck on shoulder hooping and i just cannot do it! I really love you videos though! you have helped me so much, and I love your positive attitude!

[@shinan0gans]

youre my hero! Im struggling with getting the shoulder hoop to the vertical hooping and also the dance portion moving your arms in and out of the hoop! Please help if you can!

[@hoopsmiles]

How is chest hooping going for you now? Have you attempted using a larger hoop?

[@lindanchik]

Probably, it's a piece of pvc tubing from home depot that is wrapped with duct tape that has mostly worn off. It is at the YMCA where I practice. I DO need something better, really. It is 36" diameter. I am good at chest hooping in one direction and getting better at the other direction, and I can change direction back and forth but not quickly and there is just something I'm missing. ??? Thank you very much. You really are just great as a teacher. I hope to be one some day, too.

[@hoopsmiles]

Thanks :) Chest hooping can be a lot of fun.

[@hoopsmiles]

That's cool that you find peace through hooping. I don't plan on travelling through Dallas anytime soon. Why do you ask?

[@hoopsmiles]

I have made collapsible hoops. At the moment, I'm not making collapsible hoops. As far as supplies go, depends on what collapsible hoop you are making. Are you making a hoop that comes apart or hoop that can be twisted and folded?

[@countrymom4himtx]

It tends to look awkward but I have a blast.

[@savannahstroud9800]

You are such a groovy dude. I dig your vibes mann. Thanks for tutorial helped me a bunch!

[@hoopsmiles]

Right on. That's awesome. I feel like with chest hooping there is so much that can be covered. I think this tutorial could possibly be my longest tutorial posted to my channel. I feel like there is still more I could have included in this video. May your chest hooping go well. Feel free to share about your progress.

[@Ahope333]

Can you do a tutorial on different types and tricks with isolation?

[@sweet4type1beetle]

you make me so happy when you dance :) woohoo great tutorial

[@brookeb9733]

I just created a youtube account because I HAD to comment and tell you how awesome-supercalafragalisticexpialadoshus you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also use flow chucks and it takes me FOREVER to learn new moves and because of you I learned THREE hoop tricks in one day!!!!!! You are an angel. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@affafjamal705]

[@crystaljohnson9659]

That was awesome!! Can't wait to try it! Thanks for the video!!

[@hoopsmiles]

Right on :-)

[@marmarpones]

It's going well. I still kinda have trouble with the chest hooping and keeping it up there.. just need to practice more :)

[@MarbethMonster]

I'm getting better but it's a bit tough for me because I have boobs and a short torso 😕

[@deethigpen2571]

[@francescachandidevi6382]

[@hoopsmiles]

[@hoopsmiles]

I could. I do have a basic isolation tutorial. I have thought about doing a cat eye isolation tutorial. I think cat eyes are pretty awesome. Are there any particular isolations you are fond of?

[@kornelam.8886]

and this wonderful smile :) its the best tutorial i've seen till now. Thanks! :)

[@feliciadam]

Thank you! Your tutorials are excellent :)

[@hoopsmiles]

Thanks :-)

[@wedyenohraindrops]

Would it be possible for you to make a vertical hooping tutorial? It's been particularly challenging for me and your tutorials are always soo helpful!

[@hoopsmiles]

It would be possible. However, at the moment I've got a whole list of tutorials to make. Are you referring to vertical chest hooping?

[@wedyenohraindrops]

hoopsmiles Yes, I am! Actually, I think I might have it down; using my arms to sort of control the plane of my hoop so it doesn't get too vertical . . but last week I could barely get into it. Thank you so much for your tutorials :) They're all so helpful.

[@hoopsmiles]

wedyenohraindrops That's great you got vertical chest hooping down. That can be a really fun hooping maneuver. I'm glad the tutorials could be helpful.
