Great Workout, Hard to Follow
I have absolutely no experience with dance. I've done different kinds of aerobics and things in the past that require moving in time, and I haven't had too much trouble. I'm capable of learning simple steps, but this DVD was still rather difficult for me.

The parts that I could follow really were a lot of fun, and I could really feel the workout in my abs (although not my butt so much). There were rather long portions, though, that just left me way far behind, which of course is very frustrating when trying to do a workout. The DVD would have been much better with a strong instructional segment prior to the actual routine, or even just by spending a little extra time explaining each move before immediately beginning it.

Really you'll just have to try it out for yourself and see how you do. Just be forewarned that if you are as much of a beginner as I am, you may find it a little too challenging to really suit you unless you dedicate a bit of time to really learning the moves before you go the whole thing through.

Cardio Hula/Hula Abs and buns
I alternate three Island girl workouts, sometimes two in one day and I absolutely love them. I've been doing the workouts for about three weeks and my lower body is toning up nicely. Some of the steps take a couple run throughs to get down and I would recommend getting the feet patterns down before trying to add the arms. It is not a "killer" workout and is perfect for those of us who want to begin working out and for those who want a break in their more strenuous exercise routines. It works and its fun.

Great instuctional video, Awesome workout!!!!!
Before I started doing the hula workouts I had no experience with the dance. Kili is a great instructor!!! I have a problem with co-ordination but after doing the workout 3 or 4 times it was easy!! Also, she is not one of those annoying instructors. She shows you every move, first slowly and then quicker. Then a combination of moves. It's great! I would also recommend her Tahitian Cardio and Tahitian Hip Hop. I own all four of these DVDs and I absolutely love them!!!
