For Nora - This is a basic tutorial for hooping on the hands. If you find yourself getting bruises on the back of the hands, I recommend using fingerless gloves (weight-lifting gloves, biking gloves and batting gloves all work well) to provide a little cushion to the backs of the hands while your technique improves and your skin toughens up. I also recommend using Arnica lotion on the bruises to help them heal faster. Best of luck!

  • Do you make your own hoops or purchase them? You're so awesome!

  • @MsCougar94 I thought I had responded to this. I apologize! I make my own hoops. My favorite size are 1/2" diameter in about 100 psi or 125 psi and made to a roundness of about 40 inches. They are easy to make. The wrapping is the most challenging part. There are good instructions on Hooping.org. I can help you if you need help.

  • What size hoop are you using?

  • @cindychauvie This is about a 39 or 40-inch hoop made of tubing that is 1/2" in diameter and 100 psi.

  • Are your hoops filled with anything? I picked a couple little ones just to fool around with that are water filled and I have trouble keeping them balanced.

  • @susan21869 Yes, the water in your hoop is throwing off your balance. I recommend drilling a small hole in your hoop and then putting it in the tub so the water runs out. You'll find it much easier to use. And if your small hoops are department store hoops for kids, you'll probably have better luck with them if you wrap them in some gaffer's tape or even electrical tape. They'll grip you better and add a little weight but distributed evenly unlike the water that's inside now. Good luck!
