I bought this dvd to get a jumpstart on my spring exercise routine and get myself back into shape after lounging around the winter long. Just got the DVD and cannot stop watching and learning the moves. The moves are easy and Kili gives very explicit instructions for anyone to follow. These moves had me sweating in no time even before the workout part of the dvd. I was still on the instructional aspect and really sweating good. I like this dvd a lot better than the Bellydance workout I recently purchased as the photographer is right on point with the moves. You dont see half a move or just the feet when you need to see how all of the hips, legs and feet move... that was what I found disappointing about the bellydance dvd set I purchased. No descriptive instruction. This was totally amazIng and now all of my girlfriends want to order it or come over for their workout with me! The music is nice and the moves so smooth and sexy you dont even know you are working out except that you are sweating. I wont say I was drenched but I definately got a nice burn in my lower half, hips, buns and thighs areas and was quite pleased with the nice sheen I had when done. Not totally soaking wet but a nice overall sheen so I know I did something. If you are not used to doing the squats I would recommend you go up some steps a couple times and skip a step or two to see how it feels when Kili gets to this part because she does do a lot of these. I also liked it too because unlike the Bellydance dvd I tried this one did not make my arms tired but I did feel a good overall body workout and I cannot wait to do it again. This hula dvd gets 5 stars from me and I had a blast doing it! Made me wish when I was younger and lived in Hawaii that I had taken Hula lessons then. I totally recommend this to any and everyone who wants a new routine to get a new you. I dont have lots of weight to lose but I know from past experience that the way this dvd is I will be in shape in no time just from the specific moves like that squat routine Kili does. Enjoy! I plan to buy all the ones in the line I can find to change it up a bit for my friends and myself. Just wish I could find the island dancewear they are wearing in this dvd it's so nice! As a follow up to this: I have found the island wear they are wearing in the Hula workout videos you can type in the key words Venus swimwear or Venus Swimsuit on ebay and it should show you a nice grouping at very reasonable prices. Also wanted to mention that these dvd's sell elsewhere not ebay for almost $15 and if you really are patient and wait looking around on ebay you can find a great deal on these Island Girl Hula Workout dvd's for starting at .99 no kidding! I paid more on shipping than for the dvd. But I am so pleased with my patience...now I have 4 in the Island Girl line and even had money left over to indulge in purchasing some of those Island Girl type Hawaiian swimwear for working out with Kili. Now I can really feel like an island girl again like I was when I lived and worked in Hawaii for American Express Travel Agency and had the most amazing job taking the tourist to all the exciting locations as their tour guide! I sure miss it and this brings back rather fond memories of my time in Paradise! These are definately keeper workouts! Thank u for allowing me to share my experience and I hope you will enjoy the hula workout as much as I am! Mahalo! Hawaiian Thank you!Read full review
I found this exercise dvd entertaining, very interactive, challenging and fun to workout to! The music is wonderful, too. My only suggestion would be for the teacher to include an insert in the dvd case explaining some of the Hawaiian terms. I understood it, as I have lived there before, but most people who aren't familiar with the terminology may be a little frustrated! Overall, this is a great cardio/hula workout that I'm going to enjoy exercising to this summer! I would recommend it to others. Renee'
I bought this CD several weeks ago and am really enjoying Cardio Hula. Through the instructor Kila, I am not only learning hula, but getting a great cardio workout. The dance steps are fun and challenging enough to keep me interested yet simple enough to master with ease. Unlike traditional cardio, I am encouraged everyday to come back to the workout to perfect my new hula moves. Great instruction, fun dance workout, beautiful Hawaiian Island setting. I recommend this to anyone seeking a beginner level cardio workout.
I ended up accidently buying this DVD twice! Once as a single DVD (here) and later in a two DVD set, (combined with Hula Buns and Abs). The hula moves are clearly explained and demonstrated and I found that I was able to keep pace with the entire workout by the 5th or 6th time through. It seems like a very gentle workout to start but don't be fooled! By the cool down you'll be sweating and breathing fast. I find the beautiful Hawaiian background inspiring and sometimes want to dance for my daily workout, so this is a perfect combination for me. I have about a dozen workout DVDs in all, four of Kili's, and I mix it up every day and am never bored. And if you live in a place where it's not always 75 degrees and sunny, you may find, like me, that you're looking forward to a little sunshine with your workout. Aloha!Read full review
I am a slightly over middle aged housewife who has let pounds get away from me. Regular exercise workouts are either very boring, require alot of jumping(peaple my age don't jump much). humdrum. I got The Island Girl Cardio Hula and it is so much fun. I get a great heart pumping workout and learn to hula at the same time. I look forward to exercise time now. I would encourage anyone who wants to do something fun for their health and for themselves to get this workout.
