Hula Workout: Beginners

I tried this workout on a whim, but I was really surprised at what a great workout this actually was. Now I'm not terribly in shape, but my legs, rear, and abs were sore (in a good way) for a couple days after doing the Hula Rock dance, so I know it did what it was supposed to do. It was good not insanely over-the-top cardio exercise, and I did work up a bit of a sweat. I had fun working out, and found myself concentrating on how to do the steps, so I wasn't so aware that I was actually exercising (always a plus in my book).Some reviewers mentioned that the music made the workout less enjoyable, but I appreciated the music. The lyrics helped me remember the dance routine and which steps came where. I think if the music had been more traditionally Hawaiian, I would have lost my place rather easily.I also liked that Kili broke the routine down into parts before tossing it at us all at once, *and* I liked that there *was* a full dance at the end of the workout, not just a bunch of moves that were never put into a full dance. I thought the instruction was pretty easy to understand, and the camera was focusing on the right parts of Kili's body at the right times.It's probably not for the wannabe Hula dancer, or for the Hula purist, and it does require a little bit of coordination (or the ability to laugh at yourself). But if you want to try kind of a fun and different workout, then it might be worth a look. It beats the torture of a stair-climbing machine!

Though it's not like the workout "Hot Hula" as I has hoping to supplement, it has turned out to be a great, authentic hula guide. If only I had muscles like that beautiful wahini!

The technique itself is not bad but you are almost forced to learn a whole dance in one sitting. It would be better if the steps to each dance were a separate menu option.

If you are expecting the old hula style, don't buy this video. But if you would like something new, energetic and pumped up to work out too, then this is the video for you!!!I am doing this work out 5 days a week through out the month of April and I am LOVING it!!In May, I am moving up to her weight loss work out as well!!

Hard work but worth it! The workout time is approximately 20 minutes. I can only take at the most, 10 minutes.

I love Hula and wanted to learn how to dance it while using it as a form of low impact exercise. The DVD arrived quickly and in excellent condition. I am very pleased with the seller.

One would expect to hear Hawaiian music if a DVD has "Hula" in its title. Country rock music is offered instead. Music is more suitable for line dancing!

Beautiful.

The Beginners Hula Workout is very similar to the Weight Loss Hula Workout, a little more rigorous than expected. But it will fit in when I get a little further along in my weight loss programme.

Fun! Doesn't feel like exercise!!

This product went far too fast. It is not standard Hula. This is more of an exercise DVD not for beginners.

Das Workout macht viel Spaß. Man darf zwar am Anfang den Mut nicht verlieren und es erfordert etwas Übung, aber zum üben im stillen Kämmerlein ist es ideal.

super vidéo en anglais (ce n'est pas du tout un problème pour une vidéo de danse) avec dans un décor somptueux, un mini-cours (rapide : la vidéo dure 40 minutes) de hula sous forme d'exercices de fitness. cela commence par un échauffement puis les différents pas de danse et pour terminer un enchaînement.les exercices sont simples, la vidéo est très bien filmée, la musique est entraînante ; pour apprendre cette danse tout en faisant du sport/et en s'amusant, cette vidéo est parfaite. à conseiller
