I really like this workout. However I see how it could be utterly impossible if you haven't first done the Tahitian Cardio workout. A lot of the moves that aren't explained in this video are explained in that one.
So if you're thinking about it go for the series (which they sell as a DVD or VHS set I believe), or just Tahitian Cardio.
But besides that it is a really great fun workout. It's a nice step up after Tahitian Cardio because it is more intense and a better workout. I've had a lot of fun with. I really like Kili as an instructor however, she's got a nice speaking voice and does a much better job of explaining things (especially in Tahitian Cradio) then is done in most videos.

Great workout, Mar 19 2005

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. 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

I have a new Mistress..., Aug 14 2006

and her name is Kili. I ordered this when looking for a break from Veena and Neena, the bellydancing wonders. This workout is pretty easy to follow (other than the fact that your abs will be crying and probably you'll end up shaking instead of circling, but that's a good thing if you want to shed the weight). After a few days it becomes "easier" to follow and is still fun fun. I am exceptionally glad that I ordered it because it makes working the abs actually fun. You hear that claim a LOT but this one does it. Kili is a goddess.
