It's dancing but he does incorporate different moves in with the dance like squats and jumps.

It's mostly dancing. There really isn't much squatting. Very little and I won't call it squatting, it's more like bending your knees a bit. Shaun T. have 5 people exercising with him and they perform at different levels. So if you're unable to squat, he has someone in the group that does it more or less low impact.

There are some squats on one of the workouts but it's not hard. You can work at your own pace and he has one person doing a modified workout to help.

Both. It's an Ok DVD workout, Very energetic. Just need to go at your own pace in the beginning.

There's actually very little dancing. They try to hide the workout by making it look like dancing, but it's really not. There is a lot of twisting & the modified is very little modification (essentially walking instead of jumping). I don't recommend it for anyone with weak knees, he constantly gives safety reminders due to all the knee action involved.

There is both, depending on what workout you are doing.I am putting mine on e-bay, it is not worth the money

It is gear on gear. slightly jerky or maybe just not smooth. i bought it to improve my flexibility for martial arts. i returned it after three weeks. the motion is a little unnatural. it puts alot of pressure on hip flexor causing me pain. i hope this is helpful.

It's not self-propelled, so it can be a workout. You might want to look elsewhere.

I do squats with it. But any other leg workout it will bind up and you can not get a full range of motion.

I would go with the Ballet Physique, first of all its cheaper and you are a beginner, and second of all the Physique 57 woman is really hard to listen to. She feels like she needs to fill every second with talking. They are both great workouts, I just didnt personally like the Physique 57...

The music used is hip-hop party music. It is extremely fast. If you are a beginner, have poor coordination skills or it takes you a while to learn dance steps, I do not recommend this DVD. You could watch it several times to learn the moves; otherwise, you may become frustrated.

I would say no. It's best for wrapping around both ankles, and doing side, front, or back leg raises. This also strengthen hip muscles.

Well each DVD is a different workout but all of them have lots of squats (the squats vary to work out different muscles.)

Rotate in... Love it but a little tricky on knees ! Try not jumping all the time! Still a killer workout! Njoy!

The base goes up and down (only about an inch or so) from side to side. The machine has a speed control that makes it go faster or slower--your choice. While it's vibrating, you can add to your workout by doing squats, arm pumps, even sit on it and do leg lifts. Several variations of exercises are shown in the operations manual. Good workout of joints and muscles, especially for those that can't walk very far like me.

There are a few different workouts. I typically do the disco workout and I do the dance party. Of course the disco has disco music..the dance party. Has some Michael Jackson, Madonnna, etc......

Hey, honestly I'm not sure because I just started using it but I honestly do not think so but what I do see that helps is maybe doing a little bit of squats and lounges when you put it on! Good luck!

Yes. Not as good of a workout. I started with just a slight up/down motion and increased gradually til I got to max.

There is little to no kneeling involved. In both the 30 and 57 minute dvds there is something called 'knee dancing.' It is super hard and only lasts for a minute or two and works the top of your thighs. But it is not in a kneeling position.

As long as your dancing is over 10 minutes, then it counts as a workout. You need to go to the workout menu and pick out the activity that matches your workout. I usually use the high impact aerobics and it works for me. There are plenty of choices for activities so one of them should fit your needs. Hope this helps!

The base goes up and down from side to side. Good Vibration action. The machine has a speed control that makes it go faster or slower--your choice, all while it's vibrating. I needed something that vibrated slowly for my 70 year old mother who primarily uses it. I add squats, and arm lifts and even sit on it to do some leg lifts for my abdomen. Its a good workout for my aching joints and muscles..

It's more of a squat because you are using your own body weight instead of pushing weights
