5.0 out of 5 stars Great authentic Hula in workout form, June 28, 2006

This review is from: Island Girl Dance Fitness Workout for Beginners: Hula Abs & Buns (DVD)

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

5.0 out of 5 stars You need this DVD, May 21, 2008

This review is from: Island Girl Dance Fitness Workout for Beginners: Hula Abs & Buns (DVD)

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!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent workout!, May 12, 2007

This review is from: Island Girl Dance Fitness Workout for Beginners: Hula Abs & Buns (DVD)

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
