 Great authentic Hula in workout formJun 29, 2006
By Touch Remedy
"TouchRemedy"
This also comes in great 5.1 surround sound.
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

You need this DVDMay 21, 2008
By SK

I cannot say enough great things about the Island Girl DVDs. I have all but one--and I love each one. After only 7 workouts over 2 weeks, my husband noticed my butt looked smaller!! I also keep up with him on our walks now (not only is he more in shape than me, but he is 6" taller). After only the first 2 workouts, I noticed my legs felt stronger as I carried laundry up and down the stairs.
I had gotten so bored with my treadmill, other exercise videos, and exercise ball (not to mention weights) that I was not even exercising at all anymore. But I look forward to doing the hula as often as I can. I love the way I am more flexible, and s-m-a-l-l-e-r. Isn't that what we all want?
I have found out, though, that I am not a natural dancer. Putting arm movements to leg movements makes me feel like quite the fool, but the more I practice, the easier it gets, and I am DETERMINED to master each move. If you are bored with exercising or don't like it, you MUST get some Island Girl DVDs!!

Excellent workout!May 12, 2007
By Jessica
I now own four of Kili's Island Girl DVDs and love them. She gives you a very thorough workout, and the better you get, the more of a workout you're getting. This one really makes me sweat, and seems to be more of a cardio than the Tahitian Cardio, although that routine is excellent too.
If you've never done hula or Tahitian dance before, this video is hard on your thighs, but is very enjoyable. After doing this, I definitely feel it in my buns, more so than my abs, but I always feel like I got a well-balanced workout.
Doing these Island Girl routines will help you lose weight and get in shape, just stick with it. I've been doing them for a couple of months now and can see and feel the difference. I've slimmed down and lost about 12 pounds. I feel much stronger and healthier, and even sexier - my hips are moving in ways I didn't think possible :)
I highly recommend this workout

Wonderful and gentle workout, lots of funSep 03, 2007
By HumanRemodeling.com
"North Shore Massage and Bodywork by Milica"
This is great! I just followed the DVD and feel very happy and energized. The workout is good but not overly strenuous, the instructor explains the moves and guides through very gently, and overall, it is a very happy, positive experience. It has a good feeling to it.
Hula is a sacred art that has many meanings, so one could say we are a little misusing it just for a workout, however, this DVD is not about really dancing hula. It just teaches a few hula steps with some workout moves.
As a practicing healing / massage and bodywork practitioner, I suggest hula, belly dance, tai chi, qi gong, yoga and swimming to all my clients, because they relax yet strengthen the muscles and thus exercise the body in a balanced and FUN way. It is very important to have a flexible pelvis, that helps the spine and good posture. And, it is very important to have a FUN workout, in order to do it regularly....

 ouchMar 21, 2011
By nic
This is a decent workout DVD; you definitely work up a good sweat in a short time. I highly recommend watching it all the way through at least once before you attempt it though. The cuing is okay, but it's a little irritating that the camera tends to focus on the performers upper body during transitions, so the first few times you might struggle to keep up with the leg work. That is one reason I'm only giving it 3 stars. The other is that it's very tough on your knees. I have scarred tissue around both of my knees, but I assumed that because I've been doing Element: Ballet Conditioning for a while without issues that I wouldn't have a problem with this. Wrong. Even though this is about 30 minutes from start to finish I think the fact that you spend it all with slightly bent knees makes it really rough on those joints. Though I didn't have any pain during the exercise, about an hour later I had to ice both of my knees, and they're still really bothering me 12+ hours later. If you don't have knee problems this is a great DVD, but if you do, definitely treat it with caution.
