Could be fun but not good for advanced workouts
358110
I bought these videos because I was getting bored of doing the same workouts at home and needed some variety.  I looked more for dance workouts but couldn't find any that didn't either require a wooden floor (uh, I work out on carpet, sorry) or didn't show the person's feet who was doing the moves.  Needless to say, I hoped these videos would be different.  First off, kudos to Richard for motivating so many people and having fun doing it BUT his screechy voice and constant high pitched yelling WILL get on some people's nerves.  Plus, I didn't care for the fact that there were pauses in between songs (don't want to give your heart rate a chance to drop.  I've never seen people walk 5 minutes on a treamill and then stop briefly), the choreography was at times hard to follow (please keep the camera on Richard so I can figure out what he's doing!) and I didn't feel like I was getting my heart rate up.  Probably really good for people that are just getting started but not so much for those that are advanced and just need that little extra boost.

Love Jillian Michaels videos...but this one is a little more complex movements. She requires multiple exercise movements at once. Which would be fine if they weren't so complex that balance is an issue. They are all done with weights so I feel the exercise suffers due to the balance and stability issue.

One drawback, they are not sturdy enough for a real workout enthusiast..... kind of frail and fragile

Keep you moving and burn calories, if you looking for an low impact this one is not for you....

I ordered this DVD because it sounded like it was for a more advanced exerciser who does many dance workouts, but this is geared for a beginner. It is not at a quick enough pace, with too many explanations that slow your momentum so I couldn't keep my  my heart rate up. I did it once and gave it away.

I've had this DVD for years, and each time I come back to it I dislike it more. I'm a runner and like to vary my workout on rest days (yoga, Pilates, choreographed cardio, etc). I thought this would be a nice change except that I don't think it gives me a very good workout. It's okay to get the non-exerciser up and moving, but Denise's lack of helpful instruction concerns me if you aren't normally doing these moves. The dance moves are easy enough to keep up with, but the sculpting segment really ticks me off. For someone who is in pretty good shape and also does a decent amount of body-weight exercises (lunges, squats, etc) the moves seemed way too fast. I went through the motions but couldn't get the full effect because there wasn't enough time to get into the correct form/position. Same with the stretches - it doesn't stretch anything if you aren't holding any position. I wouldn't recommend this if you are looking for a fun and effective workout...

Too much jumping hard on joints in the long run... wasn't a huge fan of Sean T. Worth a try though. I returned mine. Just wasn't for me.

1. You can't get a good streatch at the bottom position  2. The pad are not thick enough, so when you put a lot of weight it hurt your quads.  3.the plastic sheet that the give you to glue on the foot bar slide off so it makes it difficult perform the exercise, because your feet slide off.

I find that I am slow to  work up a sweat with Cardio Dance Blast.  I am learning some new dance moves though!  Once you get the dance steps down you can get the movement going better.  I am not a 'dancer' so for me the dance moves are a challenge to follow.  The up side is the 20 mins goes real fast, you have a bit of fun with it, but I find I get a better cardio workout with traditional exercises lunges, squats, jumps etc..  This dvd is ok if you are bored with your current exercise routine and want to mix things up a little, but definitely not a dvd I would use as my primary resource to be (or get) fit. I would consider this a light cardio workout. Probably better for beginners.

To me, this seemed like a traditional aerobic video except it adds some sexy hip and shoulder movements which require coordination, which apparently I don't have!  Although many times I wasn't able to progress to the more difficult movements because of my lack of coordination, I kept doing the easier movements and did get a nice aerobic workout from it.  Perhaps this is a video which gets more fun as you practice.  I will try it again and update my review if I enjoy it more with practice.  Of the three, I have only tried the dance workout video.

These workouts are fresh and fun, but I wouldn't say they are for ALL beginners. The sequences done while standing are tolerable, but I felt like there were too many exercises done on the floor. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, so getting up and down for these parts were more than I could handle, and I'm not really overweight. My doctor insists that exercise will alleviate some of my pain, but these workouts only caused me a world of hurt for the following week. At first I enjoyed Jillian's encouraging comments, but sometimes she goes too far by insisting that literally EVERYONE should be able to do certain movements. She's probably not including the chronically ill and disabled, but it still made me feel bad about myself. On the other hand, I was able to get through the entire 30-minute routine by doing modified movements during the floor parts, which is impressive because I'm pretty sedentary. So if you're relatively healthy and don't have chronic pain problems, this might work for you.

Unfortunately, this product was totally inappropriate for the people at my dad's senior apartment complex.  It was not marketed as being as vigorous as it was.  The people are used to doing seat exercises but the pace was too fast and the number of movements was too advanced.  Basically it is useless for what I had hoped would be a fun new workout.

You will definitely sweat if you do this workout.  The trainers change the pace and incline quickly and often, which may keep some off balance.  Moreover, when the trainers told me what levels they were working at, I could hardly believe it.  They were at 4.5 and weren't even jogging.  The advanced ones were running at a 6.0 level!  I have a hard time understanding that.  I guess all treadmills are not designed alike.  This workout is good in that you can do it at your own pace.  (I did it at a much less intense level than even the recommendations for beginners and was still within my target heart rate zone for 36 minutes!)  One drawback:  the strength segments are done while you are walking on the treadmill.  I find it hard to use a heavier weight while walking at 3.5 or 4 mph.  Moreover, I don't think the pace of the lifting coincides with the pace of your feet making for a somewhat off balance walk.  They covered biceps, triceps, shoulders and deltoids on the treadmill during the cardio segment.  Then, following the walk, you are expected to do floor work, including some pushups, lunges and abs. The instructors are chatty and repetitive, but I didn't find them aggravating or obnoxious.

This is probably a decent workout for beginner exercisers.  For those in intermediate to advanced shape, it won't do a whole lot for you.  The first time I did this workout, I barely broke a sweat.  The 3 abs workouts were challenging, but that's about it.  The second time I did it, I modified it Jillian Michaels-style by doing biceps curls, shoulder raises, triceps presses, etc. while doing the lower body moves and adding squats and lunges to the upper body moves.  Now it's going back to the library.  I found Jackie to be upbeat and encouraging without being too annoying, but she gives too little instruction about form.  I would definitely opt for a Jillian Michaels DVD over this one.

I wanted to try something different, I've always worked out with the Insanity workout and T25 and I said to myself it's time for a brake!
I thought this workout would be perfect for me but I was wrong! It is fun but if you want to loose weight, then it's not the one to go for!!!!

Definitely a advanced workout,and you definitely need to have a standing bag to preform the excercises. (A swinging bag will not allow you to keep up with the instructor).

Good product but limited on exercise I can do as I am petite and they are too long for several exercises
