Did anyone try exercising using the Hula Hoop? Does it work?

Hi, I saw this article in the Time magazine more than a year ago - about using Hula Hoops to lose weight. Of course, it had success stories related to that. So I went and bought the hoop and video and it's been sitting around ever since.
I watched the video once and it's not the type of video that would make me really want to join... but if it works, I'm willing to give it a try.
So, if anyone has tried it, please let me know.

Thanks!

I know Marisa Tomei uses them regularly.

There seem to be a few hula-hooping classes across the US. When in FL last week I saw an interview with the owner of HoolaMonsters.com. It looks like a lot of fun and another MFP member posted that you can easily make your own for cheap. I used to love hoola-hooping as a kid and think I might give it a try one day...even if it is while playing outside with my daughter and not following a real video. Try Searching the Topics for more information, sorry I couldn't be more help.

I do it on the Wii!! That is super fun!! You start with one and then have to catch more and more....it gets harder and you get scored on how many revolutions you do in a given time. You can feel the burn, I will tell ya that!
