00:03Does this look good? I don't think I'm doing this right.
00:11Hi, welcome to Refinery29. This is Connie for ConnieCam and today I'm at body and pool with
00:16Elena who's gonna explain why we're dangling a thousand feet from the ground. It's like three.
00:22So what is this? This is an aerial hoop apparatus and you are going to learn to
00:29perform on it. It's gonna be it's gonna be awesome and not you know awkward and
00:33petrifying. You're gonna be fantastic. Okay, let's get started. Now, how do I get down?
00:49If you have never seen an aerial hoop before or touched one, yay! Today is your chance.
00:59Getting into the hoop and getting out of the hoop, it's not easy. You always want to hold the hoop
01:04with
01:04your pointer and thumb touching. Never like this. Safe thumbs, right? You're gonna have
01:09your biceps nice and tight, shoulders roll back. From here, you must make sure that
01:13you're gonna contract your body. Tuck in and then extend, roll back. My hips are
01:18right over my shoulders and I'm gonna tuck. From here, you're gonna try to extend your
01:23legs straight into a pipe as much as you can. Nice. Beautiful. And straighten your
01:28legs all the way up to the hoop and bend. Awesome. I love it. Yay! Perfect. From here,
01:37you're gonna take a little bit of momentum, use a little bit of abs. You're gonna swing
01:41on up and reach for the hoop grabbing towards your face. If you can't reach high
01:45enough, you are going to pull up and slide. Good. From here, bring your shoulders back,
01:49bring your chest up, chest up, and slide. Have you done this before? Yay!
01:55This is a sassy move. Perfect. Super sassy. Nice long neck, booty back. Yes! I love it!
02:01We're even gonna take our first spin. I don't know if you can see this face. This is great.
02:04Ta-da! You can wave to your friends if you want. How you doing?
02:09Beautiful job! Yes! I love it! Poor thing. It's really cute. This is crazy looking. I know.
02:19So we're out of time, but otherwise we would set the hoop on fire. Yeah, totally. That's the next step.
02:23Thank you so much for the class. Thank you, everyone. You did such a great job, everyone. It's beautiful.
02:27I feel this. I think it's a bicep. Oh, it hurts a little bit. I feel these. These are calluses.
02:33Let's do a little callus kiss. Bye, everyone. See you next time on Refinery. How long do I have to
02:38stay up here?
02:41Oh, are those donuts?
