Odd you would ask. I was thinking the other day to purchase a hula hoop for when I think I'm sitting around too much (reading). I used to love doing the hula hoop when I was a pre-teen. Aside from being an excellent softball player and champ checker board player at the play ground (back int he 60's) , I even won some hula hoop competitions for being the one who could out last anyone else! 
Here are some interesting facts from the spinninghoop web site:
How Many Calories Does Hula Hooping Burn?
Hula hooping is a low-intensity workout for most people, and according to the American Council on Exercise, you should burn approximately 200 calories if you work out for 30 minutes. This varies according to your current weight. Heavier people burn more calories during any exercise, because it takes more work to move around.
Many exercise classes use special heavy-weight hula hoops to increase the cardio workout and to burn more calories. High intensity aerobic exercise burns up to 400 calories during the same amount of time.
One of the benefits of hula hooping is that it can be done by people who are overweight - just try a high-intensity aerobic class if you’re carrying 50 extra pounds. It puts too much strain on your knees and ankles, and if you’re really out of shape you’ll run out of breath long before the class is over.
On the other hand, you can start hooping at home, get the old body moving again slowly, and work up to a more rigorous exercise routine in a few months.
Another reason why overweight people have trouble with any exercise program, even simple walking, is that the foods that make us fat also slow us down. That’s because sugar, refined grain products, simple carbohydrates and other fattening foods don’t just cause our bodies to store extra fat. That in itself would be bad enough.
But these foods actually cause fat and fat-soluble vitamins to be locked up in our fat cells, where other cells in the body can’t get to them.
You may be eating enough food to put on an extra pound a week, but the individual cells in your muscles and organs could be starving, because all the fuel and nutrients are locked away. Starving people slow down in order to conserve the small amount of fuel they have available to them.
That’s why both overweight people and people on low-calorie and low-fat diets often suffer from chronic fatigue and depression - it’s the body’s way of slowing you down. If you aren’t moving, there’s less demand for fuel.
Exercising when you’re overweight, even if you use a low-impact aerobic exercise like hula hooping, will burn more calories, and that means your starving cells will have even less fuel and nutrients to keep all their various functions going. So you get even more tired, and you could even get more depressed.
Let’s face it - if you eat the wrong foods, the individual cells in your body are on a low-calorie diet no matter how much food you eat, and studies done many years ago proved that fatigue and depression (and food cravings) are symptoms that you experience on a low-calorie diet. Exercise can make it even worse.
So - my advice is to eat a sensible, healthy diet that unlocks those fat cells, and then take up a nice, low-impact exercise. Hula hooping is one of the easiest, and most enjoyable exercises to start with, because it will make you feel like a kid again.
