If it has been a while since you picked up a hoop \u2013 don\u2019t worry!

Your feet should be a little more than shoulder-width apart, one foot slightly in front of the other, keep your back straight, and core muscles engaged. With the hoop resting around your back and hips, start spinning the hoop. As it begins to move around your waist in a circular motion, push your hips forward and backward. Congratulations!
