You do not even need to be able to move around. You can simply stand in place, wiggle your hips, and there you go. You are hula hooping.
The exercise hula hoop has all the benefits of the more mainstream exercise routines. It is great for exercise weight loss, being the perfect fat burning exercise. Best of all, it is so much fun that it is easier to motivate yourself to do than most exercises. Jogging can be a drag, and bike riding can be dangerous, but the exercise hula hoop is always fun. After all, it is just like dancing, and everyone loves dancing.
When you get very good at it, you can even build up to advanced skills. You can move to a bigger exercise hula hoop,  learn to do two at once, or work with a heavier one. It really doesn't matter. The sky is the limit, if you ask me.

Of course, there was a time when the exercise hula hoop was king. If you watch old videos from the 60s, it appears that everyone was using exercise hula hoops. You could see them at dance clubs, expositions, gyms, and even in the home. I don't see very many exercise hula hoops nowadays, but I remember seeing them in elementary school gym as well.
