 Cardio Hula/Hula Abs and bunsApr 22, 2006
By Jules
I alternate three Island girl workouts, sometimes two in one day and I absolutely love them. I've been doing the workouts for about three weeks and my lower body is toning up nicely. Some of the steps take a couple run throughs to get down and I would recommend getting the feet patterns down before trying to add the arms. It is not a "killer" workout and is perfect for those of us who want to begin working out and for those who want a break in their more strenuous exercise routines. It works and its fun.

 Great Workout, Hard to FollowJun 18, 2005
By LobsterKitten
I have absolutely no experience with dance. I've done different kinds of aerobics and things in the past that require moving in time, and I haven't had too much trouble. I'm capable of learning simple steps, but this DVD was still rather difficult for me.
The parts that I could follow really were a lot of fun, and I could really feel the workout in my abs (although not my butt so much). There were rather long portions, though, that just left me way far behind, which of course is very frustrating when trying to do a workout. The DVD would have been much better with a strong instructional segment prior to the actual routine, or even just by spending a little extra time explaining each move before immediately beginning it.
Really you'll just have to try it out for yourself and see how you do. Just be forewarned that if you are as much of a beginner as I am, you may find it a little too challenging to really suit you unless you dedicate a bit of time to really learning the moves before you go the whole thing through.

Great instuctional video, Awesome workout!!!!!Aug 19, 2005
By Nalini I. Mayroo
"lotus flower"
Before I started doing the hula workouts I had no experience with the dance. Kili is a great instructor!!! I have a problem with co-ordination but after doing the workout 3 or 4 times it was easy!! Also, she is not one of those annoying instructors. She shows you every move, first slowly and then quicker. Then a combination of moves. It's great! I would also recommend her Tahitian Cardio and Tahitian Hip Hop. I own all four of these DVDs and I absolutely love them!!!

Cardio for fun!Aug 21, 2008
By Ms. Mary S. Massung
"melodic wind"
I wanted a low impact dancing cardio that would promote hip flexibility (to minimize hip fracture should I fall...I am 62) as well as increase my cardio/pulmonary endurance in a more gentle manner. IN the beginning, I was only able to do about 10 minutes of this program. After about 3 months, I was able to do the entire program. Now I use the DANCING WITH KILI chapter as a warm-up/cool-down for other programs that focus on lower/upper body strength-training. Sometimes, in the afternoon, I do 10 minutes of hula with Kili simply for the sheer pleasure of moving my hips! In spite of some of the negative reviews on Kili's other hula dvd's, I have purchased all of them! I love the diversity and the fact that I can adapt them to suit my personal needs once the hula 'motions' have been mastered.
I have been doing yoga for 5 years and qigong for about 4 years. I was amazed to discover that hula (as done by Kili)allows me to move QI as I dance! I love this aspect of hula! Also, my joints have loosened far more rapidly with hula than they ever did with yoga. I suspect that this might be caused by the fact that yoga was developed for men by men while hula (as taught by Kili) is for a woman's body!

Great authentic hula in workout formJun 29, 2006
By Touch Remedy
"TouchRemedy"
I loved her since her first DVDs "Hula Workout" though those used cutsy 60s music & added 60s american dance moves but still have a lot of authetic hula dancing.
These "Island Girl" hula workouts are more authentic. Just like her other ones, you get a great workout, your abs burn, your hips, legs get a nice workout. It's all authentic dance moves with some added quick squats, etc. added in so you barely notice it for adding toning. The authentic drum Hawaiian music is beautiful & does keep you stimulted too keep going just like a dance/rock beat would.
I had no trouble following & learning the steps, there are plenty of dance DVDs that I have had trouble with, but she breaks everything down well & shows it slowly several times before speeding it up. She even cues YOUR left & right, not hers.
There's a trailer for her "Hula Workout" DVDs & another authentic Hula workout like this called "Island Girl: Hula Abs & Buns" at collagevideo com
