One of the things that took me the longest to learn\/get comfortable with was learning how to stop the drop. That&#8217;s when the hula hoop is going around your waist and then it starts to drop down your hips and, if you don&#8217;t rectify it, then it drops to the ground. Once I learned how to stop the drop, that was a game changer! I can now hula hoop for as long as I want without worry about the whole thing getting interrupted by my hoop falling to the ground and getting scraped up. Once I learned how to stop the hoop from dropping, I realized that the action felt very familiar and I wanted to share this with you in case it helps you stop the drop too! I hope it&#8217;s helpful! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check out my video on this below but basically imagine that you are holding a box or laundry basket on your hip.  You&#8217;re pressing your hip against the box and the box starts to slide downwards so you bop your hip upwards to push the box back up.  For me, that&#8217;s the exact movement to stop your hula hoop from dropping!  There are other way but, especially as an amputee, I find this to be the easiest method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2764\ufe0eLiv<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to keep your Hula Hoop from dropping \\ AMPUTEE HULA HOOPS!\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EarqtHkEiZc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve recently taken up hula hooping and I absolutely love it!
