Customer Reviews

Inspirational Tahitian Intro. Makes Fitness Fun
I did Tahitian dance years ago and always thought it was a wonderfully sensual dance form. Now years later I wanted to try to get back into shape so like many people I wanted new fitness DVD's for the holidays. Island Girl Dance Fitness Workout for Beginners is a *best buy* because it lives up to its name in every way. It is an exciting dance fitness workout not too challenging for beginners, nor is it slow for those familiar with different forms of dance. Kili is beautiful, spiritual and fit and her assistants are inspirational. Tahitian style is appropriate for a wide age range--no jumping, kneeling work or sudden shocks for tender joints. All and all the DVD brings the warmth of the islands and sunshine to the homes of those of us living far from the sea in cold climates. Well done! I'd buy another of her DVD's in a heart beat and highly recommend this DVD.

LOVE IT
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

A fun workout
This is the kind of thing I was looking for. I sweat, and I don't spend the whole time looking at the clock, waiting for it to be over. The moves are fun and sexy, and not too hard to follow. I didn't get all of them the first time around, but a few more tries and I'll have it all down. Just staying in motion and doing my best gave me a nice workout.

The island beat of the music is very pleasant and fun. The scenery is lovely. The sound isn't perfect--wind noise is sometimes heard, but it doesn't detract at all from the quality.

I like this workout a little better than the cardio hula one. The cardio hula seems a lighter workout, while this one makes you work a little harder.

Forget those bellydance DVDs--Tahitian Cardio really -is- a fun DVD that gives you a nice workout.

UPDATE: I am still using and just loving this video. I originally bought it to get back into shape after having a baby. I recently bought The Firm's Transfirmer system for a tougher workout. I was surprised to find that (in spite of several people telling me how hard the workout is) The Firm workout wasn't that hard after all of my Island Girl workouts. I guess Island Girl is deceptively strengthening!
