4.0 out of 5 stars It Works, December 10, 2005

I bought this DVD after working out to the Hula Workout for Weight Loss by Kili. This DVD is excellent for beginners, or people at that intermediate level like myself. The more you use it, the easier the moves are to understand and the harder you find yourself working. It's really amazing because you don't even realize your working so hard until you get to the cooldown and realize your sweaty and out of breath. It is just that much fun.

I combine this DVD often with my Mari Winsor Pilates DVDs to get more work in my midsection...that is the one thing I think that these workouts lack the most...but in terms of working your legs and your butt and thighs, this workout has done the trick for me...after just a few weeks I noticed my thighs were getting significantly smaller. I have lost 10 lbs. in a month doing this workout...I like to combine them with Kili's other videos to keep me from getting bored....

This is nice though, it takes a half an hour of time and leaves you feeling great afterwards.

A really nice workout overall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it, April 6, 2006

It took me longer to appreciate this video than it did Tahitian Cardio. But I do enjoy it! It is a good workout, though I think Tahitian Cardio is a little bit more demanding. Neither is a hard-core workout for serious fitness buffs, but they are good for increasing the heartrate and moving the body. Regardless of age or lack of fitness, a person can get a pleasant workout from this video.

I love Kili and her assistants. They are all lovely and a pleasure to watch. I like the music and the scenery.

I wish there were more videos in this series because I'd love to have the variety and to learn more about Tahitian and hula dancing!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good, fun, low-impact workout, November 25, 2005

I really enjoyed this exercise video. After you do it a few times and learn the moves, you find yourself sweating without even realizing you are working hard. It was a lot of fun to do and to watch. I enjoyed the slower, more graceful pace versus a normal workout video where you're doing kicks and punches. I love Kili's voice as she guides you through the workout. The scenery is absolutely awesome! As with any low-impact aerobics video, you get out of it what you put into it. For example, if you keep your abs tight as she says, you will find you get a better workout.

The one complaint I had was the tempo. The music was nice, but at times, the girls were not on the same tempo as the music. That made it difficult to follow them if you tend to listen to the beat to guide your speed (as I do).

This dvd is not for anyone with knee problems. Most of the workout requires your knees to be bent and certain moves can put a lot of pressure on your knees.

Overall, a good, fun, low-impact workout.
