Island Girl Dance Fitness Workout for Beginners: Hula - Abs & Buns Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm all for letting out my inner goddess as long as she burns some calories for me. Let's face it, working out can get boring if you are doing the same aerobic moves all the time. By incorporating dance routines from various countries, you can enhance your workouts and also enjoy a mini-vacation.

Kili guides you through the Hula dance moves that seem to be as ancient as time itself. I found myself almost transported back in time while trying this unique island tradition. Kili has been dancing for 25 years and she shows a Hula dance, teaches you the dance and then repeats the dance so you can really learn the moves. By the third time, I was actually doing the dance and it is so much more fun than boring old aerobics moves. Kili's cueing is perfect and her voice is very pleasant.

In this DVD you will find instruction for 7 basic dance moves:

Kahola
Hela
Double Hela
Kawelu
Ku'i
Ka'o
'ami

The beach patrol clothing is a highlight of this workout. The dancers wear orange skirts, striped shorts, bikini tops and even red orchids attached to their outfits. They are dancing on a woven mat set on the greenest grass you can imagine. The entire scene with a sapphire blue sky and rippling ocean made me a bit heady. I definitely need to visit Hawaii. If you love flowers and lush scenery, not to mention bright sun and waves crashing on a beach, this is going to really take you away from the normal routine of your life.

So, after watching Kili show you the dance you will be learning, you learn all the basic moves and then suddenly you find yourself really doing the hula. Not only will you tone your entire body, you will notice almost immediate results. Your abs will be tightened and toned. The very easy lunges in this workout did not hurt my knees and were perfect for toning and firming. Toning your stomach by dancing is way more fun than sit-ups.

Kili has cute ways of explaining the moves: "Like the Motion of the Ocean." I love her creative teaching style and I'm very excited about trying all her workouts. The music is quite motivational and you can hardly sit still while listening to it. There is also a section where you can do the entire routine with just the music and no instruction.
