Rating: Summary: Warning! Not What You Expect Review: If you're expecting to learn traditional hula from a beautiful island woman to traditional Hawaiian drums, you will be as shocked as I was. Instead you will find a Drag performer teaching you the moves to country western music, your goal being to perform "Hula Rock".If you can get past the very muscular male physique of Kali (wearing female attire), and you can tolerate the music you will find yourself learning some fairly decent hula moves, getting a very light and very low impact cardio/toning workout. Once you get to the end and perform the dance with the lyrics to the country song, you'll "get it" and even have a little fun. Overall I was disappointed, but I'm learning some moves and it's a nice rotation from intense target toning and aerobics. It's also nice to look out into the waters of Hawaii rather than a set for a change. I'm not kicking myself for buying it--after having some time to get used to it.
Rating: Summary: Great workout, but not serious hula Review: This hula workout video was fun and effective, strengthening thighs, abs and buns. It was unique, and the setting was lovely. Kili has a sweet voice and manner about her. For those looking to seriously study hula, though, keep moving. The music was really one song which was hula meets oldies meets old country. This would appeal to people who like oldies, but left me cold. Not all the moves are hula, and even includes the mashed potato. All in all, very little culture was included in this workout video. Good for belly dancers, already educated hula dancers,and other hip swivellers looking for a unique workout.
Rating: Summary: Love this one Review: Yes, this video does teach a 'Hula Workout' and appears to have clear instructions. However, the music is atrocious. I was looking forward to some traditional Hawaiian music, the reason that I thought this workout would be fun, but the whole thing is set to a heinous track called "Hula Rock" which sounds like a lightly Hawaiian flavored takeoff of a fifties bee-bop style song. I watched this once, and couldn't even get through the thing. The music really ruins this experience.
