Better than expected June 19, 2008

I bought this because my mother has been taking Tahitian Dance, and she raves about what a great workout it is. I couldn't find any decent classes nearby, so I saw this and figured it was worth a try - for the price, what did I have to lose?
I wasn't expecting a whole lot for 2 reasons:
1. I get easily bored by repetitive work out/cardio videos.
2. While I've not really done Island/Tahitian dance, I've taken dance classes and Hip Hop for years, so I was a bit worried because the videos are listed as "for beginners".
Well, I was pleasantly surprised! It wasn't the most intense work out ever, but I definitely felt it in my legs, and I broke a little sweat. Most importantly it was FUN. The time just flew by.
It seems like beginners would be able to pick it up pretty easily - though I might not be the best judge, since I dance already.
I loved it, though it would be awesome if there were Intermediate and Advanced levels available as well.
EDIT:
While I still agree with the above, I have one gripe about these videos. The music was probably dubbed over after the workout was recorded, and at times the movements Kili & Co. are doing don't sync up rhythmically with the music track. As a dancer that is really annoying. It's impossible for me to dance off rhythm. I have to stop watching her and do the dance movements whilst just listening to the music.
This is only noticeable when they perform the full out dance sequences. During the work out/step instruction it seems to sync fine.
For beginners, especially if someone is "rhythmically challenged" and hoping to learn/improve rhythm, this is not going to be helpful.
The "workout" is still fun, easy, and low-impact. Just be aware that when you are doing the full-out routines, if you're in sync with Kili the whole time, there will be times when you're actually off-rhythm.

I truly love this workout! The time flew by and before I knew it I was done. It was a lot of fun and I was completely able to get into it. If you incorporate your abs correctly you truly feel a wonderful workout. I completely recommend this product for it adds variety and an entertaining element to any fitness regime.
Absolutely Great! September 27, 2007

I loved both videos, they are very similar so if you can only get one, then get either one because they are both great. Great form of exercise and not too hard to learn the moves.
Fitness workout with Island Girl Dance August 31, 2007

If you hate exercise as much as I do, then this is the way to go. Dancing along with these DVD's does not seem like exercise. It is fun and the time goes by so quickly. Also, most of us who are not as young as we once were, cannot do the high impact exercises. These are low impact and you can go at your own speed. The setting is beautiful and the music is calming. Perfect for anyone of any age.
FEMININE! SEXY! FUN! July 29, 2006

FINALLY, a workout that's fun & sexy! I own every home workout on the market (okay, most of them anyway!) and I was ready to learn something new & have FUN doing it. I did some shopping around & it came down to the Island Girl Tahitian Dance or Carmen Electra Strip Tease series. C.E. got some harsh reviews so after reading ALL the POSITIVE reviews on the "Island Girl" series I didn't hesitate to purchase the Tahitian Cardio/Tahitian Hip Hop set...how could a home workout be so much fun? I had to find out! OH MY GOSH! I'm having the time of my life! Not only am I learning something new that makes me feel sexy...it's great for those days that are overcast, gray and blah because the beautiful scenery on the DVD takes you away. Kili and her dancers are beautiful and wow can they move! I have to remind myself that they've been doing this for years & it takes time to really "hit" the moves like they do...but in the meantime I'm having a blast! The moves are feminine & sexy and as a bonus, I look forward to doing them!
If your interested in knowing if this is a fat-burning workout...I did break a little sweat but I didn't notice it until after I was done because I was completely enjoying myself! Results remain to be seen - afterall, I've only had the DVD's for 2-days! But I can tell you that my abs ached by the second night as well as the following morning!!!
My advise...BUY the DVD's..you'll love them! But buy them in sets (they are sold separately or in sets of 2) and alternate them. You'll have so much fun you'll forget you're actually exercising! Enjoy! ;)
