No but am also thinking. Would I even be able to start the hoop going????????

Here is a paragraph about it....

"The Hula Hoop is one of the few ways to primarily target your troublesome middle area. With circular trunk movements, it directly works abdominal muscles, hips and waistlines. As a result, you gain a cardio and a strength workout. One minute of Hula Hooping can burn as many calories as running an eight-minute mile. Hula Hooping also promotes correct body alignment from the circular motions and proper posture upper body routines"..

thats sounds fab!

Oh I used to hula hoop! It is such fun. The only problem I found was that as you get better at it (which happens quite quickly) you need to expend virtually no effort to keep the hoop going.

In the early stages it definitely gets you sweating and works your stomach area a lot.
