I thought this would be a fun way to lose some weight but after watching the DVD it’s definitely not what i had in mind. It would be a fun way to learn how to hula dance but not really the kind of workout I need.

I was expecting to learn a different type of dance routine along with doing Zumba 2008 ( highly recommended if you really want to DANCE). There’s no doubt that you will lose the weight and get toned with this workout, but I found the instruction and the workout just so boring. The only part that caught my interest was the intro where they are actually DANCING.
Other than the beautiful background and the music ( if you can hear because the instructor talks so much) there is nothing “authentic” about this workout. Your basically doing the traditional workout of the same old lunges and squats only difference is you move your hips side to side. Its a workout with music in the background not dancing. Maybe it was just me but the people were so stiff and rigid not smooth and free flowing at all. I mean it seemed fake to me like they were not enjoying the workout at all. While it was a nice change to see gals with some substance (not everyone has stick legs) they looked more like body builders than anything. I am highly disappointed with this product I was expecting to dance but instead I got another workout regimen in disguise.

This workout is really easy to catch on to, works the abs, buns and shoulders well, and has gorgeous background scenery. The cueing, timing, and coreography is great, the instructor is not annoying at all, and you don’t need any dance experience to catch on. The only reason I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars is that the cool down seems to be just an extension of the workout- same moves, and goes on and on until you are just about ready to quit. Other than that, it is great and really fun!

I loved this video! It’s fun and gives you a great workout all for a cheap price! However……after a couple weeks of alternating this with others I did become a bit bored. But I haven’t done it in a while and I’m sure I’ll love it all over again.

This video is great for the price. I exercise everyday. This video is not a very strenuous though, but it was fun and a nice change. They teach you a hula dance, she does a great job breaking down the steps. The landscape is beautiful!
