I just recieved my order from Podfitness.com and I'm just loving these workouts.  The company was very fast with their shipping and the DVD quality was great but then I may be a little biased because I remember these workouts when they were on the Lifetime Channel and followed the show daily because they did what few fitness shows could,...Get me motivated again.  I was heartbroken when the show was taken off so I was thrilled to find out these were available on DVD.

 One thing to keep in mind is that because these were previously on TV, there is a little bit of a gap in between segments (20 to 30 seconds) but this is a minor thing that I can work around with no problem because all I do is just keep moving.

  If they were to release future volumes (which I hope they will),
I would buy them on the spot.

  The workouts themselves are easy to follow yet very effective and you can grow with them. The trainers are very encouraging.
I consider myself a recycled beginner and on my good days I'm between the levels of an advanced beginner to low intermediate  Even solid intermediates and some advanced exerciser will enjoy this DVD.

I am so glad I bought this DVD, I almost didn't buy it because of a couple of bad reviews. This is NOT hard to follow and it really was a great "burn". I loved it because it flew by and I cant wait to do the 55 minute workout tomorrow!

What a great DVD workout!  Loved it..  Haven't been working out lately but thought I could do all 3 levels first day, wrong!  Made it through the first level with warm up and cool down, and felt great, but there were some difficult areas because I was not up to par. I could hardly walk the next day !  I could see how it might get boring, so I'm glad I bought the 2 other dvds to mix it up.  I'm not a big fan of Yoga, so the cool down part isn't fun, but it's only 5 minutes!  Overall, very satisfied!

First of all, this video is a great length.  At around a half hour, it gives you an amazing workout.  He starts off with a fast-paced warmup (as usual), then moves into ab work, then some buns, and then a few extra abs before the cool-down.  Most of the moves are ones I've seen in other videos, but he puts the best together to create a wonderful workout.  It makes you nice and sore, and gives you energy to start the day.  Billy is wonderfully motivational as usual, and I find myself working harder when hes watching me, and answering when he asks questions.  This video is great, and I hope he comes out with more in the "focus" series soon!  HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!

I've been working out for about 6 months now and lost a total of 35 lbs through diet and exercise.  I've tried many different workouts - Richard Simmons, Tae Bo, Mari Winsor Pilates - and this is one of the funnest workouts yet!  For a beginner this would be a great video to try because it's fun and goes by quick.  I've found that videos like Tae Bo, while great, get boring after a while.  This is a great way to mix it up a little bit!  I have been using this and The Method Afro-Brazilian dance and really enjoy it!  The voice over doesn't bother me - I can see how it might be difficult to talk while doing these moves.  Neena and Veena's wonderful physiques make me want to do even better - and now I've developed an interest in Bellydance!  Don't worry if you're more heavy set - it's still fun and no one's going to be watching!  And - the only way to get those beautiful belly dancing bodies is to exercise - you gotta start somewhere!  Try this video!

This was my first Jillian Michaels workout and certainly won't be my last. This is really great workout. I began adding it to my routine five days a week. I didn't really have high expectations since it's only a twenty minute workout. However, by week two, I noticed real results. My arms feel a lot stronger, and Jillian is a great motivator. There are even changes in my core. Going to buy more of her!

Got this workout yesterday, watched it first than this morning than I did the tutorial. Warmup and beginner workout. She is so good at explaining and motivating you that I also did the intermediate  I love this girl the workout is great I  started with a 5 lb and ended using an 8 lb KB can't wait to do it again. I would probably buy any exercise DVD she has out there  I am 63 yrs old and try to stay in pretty good shape by working out because my job is sedentary cant say enough good things just buy it you will love love it so glad I did

I had so much fun doing this video, I had to write a review.  I have been using The Goddess Workout video for 3 weeks, along with my other cardio and strength training videos.  It is my favorite of my workout videos, though I think it is a good idea to mix up the workouts and they compliment eachother.  The Goddess Workout makes you more aware of all your muscles, which enhances my other workouts and the other videos help me to put more into my bellydance, so I get a great cardio workout and work-up a sweat! What I get from other cardio videos is that you get the workout that you put into it.  It is a beautiful video to watch, nice set, Dolphina is motivating and I'm bellydancing!  I look forward to my workout and it has become my reward for eating better: what an idea - enjoying your workout!

What a great way to work out!  Not to mention practicing bellydance moves!  This will get your heart rate up and put a smile on your face!

Some of the other reviewers say Rania is stiff.  But she's not stiff at all.  However, I think I can figure out why people would say that!

After watching the workouts before I did them, I realized that Rania has VERY slim hips.  And since so much of belly dance involves hip movement, it appears that she is not moving her hips very much.

So don't hesitate to spice up your boring old workout with some fun, not to mention sexy, dance moves!

Update:  I've been working out on a consistent basis for about two months now.  I'm doing the Cardio Shimmy at this point in time and I've lost a dress size!  So ladies shake your shimmy, have a blast and lose weight!

Update and info for my disabled Sisters:  I have Secondary-Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and have very bad balance.  Even with my issues, I am able to do all of the moves, except one, plus the parts of the cool down where you have to stand on one foot.  So I simply substitute another movement which I can do and for the parts of the cool down where I am supposed to stand on one foot, I use a piece of furniture for balance.  So the moral of this story is, just because you have balance problems, and you want to bellydance, adapt whatever you need to and GO FOR IT!!!  BECAUSE BELLYDANCING WORKOUTS ARE FUN!!!  So...have fun with the workout I'm currently doing and Hip Drop to Hip Hop!!!  WOO-HOO!!!

UPDATE:  Well, I'm currently doing Pure Sweat and I just want to say, that is is QUITE an intense workout!  Very fast-paced and I'm having a bit of trouble learning some of the moves.  But...it's getting easier and it's loads of fun, like the other two I've learnt so far!  What a gift to have a workout I don't have to make myself do.  I do it for the pure pleasure of moving my body to music.

UPDATE:  I've been doing Bellydance Boogie, and it's a LOT harder than it looks.  It's really more of a strength training workout than an aerobic workout.  Due to my balance problems and vertigo, I can't do a few of the movements, I simply do other things.  I'd say that this workout is my least favorite of all of them.  However, it does teach some essential bellydance movements.

I absolutely love this workout. I had it's several years back and got great success from it. I was hurt in an accident and wasn't able to do it for a while so I ordered a new one recently and couldn't believe that the price had come down to such a great deal. I'm super happy and excited to get started on it again.

Holy Moly!  What a great workout!  It will knock you out, but you will feel it!  I thought I would be at the intermediate level, but I had to tone down what I was doing.  Cassey is awesome and keeps you motivated!  I want to get to her level on the video!  She is such and inspiration!  You want a great work out, get this one!

I LOVE this work out!!! I have tried buying other since buying this one to add some varience to my workouts but I have not found one that compares yet. I love how Susan adds the cardio with the weight training. I don't have to go to the gym to feel like I am getting a good workout if I do this video.

This is a fantastic workout!  Each of the dances really works a different part of your body to provide a complete workout.  That said, do not expect to be successful quickly if you don't have prior dance experience.  You will be able to learn it but it will take a lot of repetition.  Some potentially difficult aspects of the DVD: I agree that camera angles aren't always conducive to seeing Julianne's feet and there wasn't an explanation at the beginning for whether she was mirroring or not (she is) so I was a little thrown off for a bit.  I am a "counter" when I dance, so I did hate that no counts were provided.  Luckily, I could pretty easily figure them out on my own (but didn't always know when Julianne was going to start dancing since there was no count off).  Finally, although the music was well stylized and fit to the music, I kept feeling like I was off the beat of the music.  Something just didn't quite gel for me there.

Now the positives!  The workout moves along quickly, so once you've gotten comfortable with the steps, you can still do the video without feeling like you're constantly getting a beginner's lesson in what you already know.  The routines flow nicely, like a real dance, and are made up of steps that you will actually see Julianne doing on Dancing with the Stars.  So you can sit at home and throw out "he wasn't low enough on those flick kicks in the jive" or "what lousy hip action for a cha cha" in your best British accent and actually know what you're talking about!  Seriously, the routines are fairly short (4 8-counts) but they're legitimate ballroom dance.

The cha cha works your hips and abs primarily.  I didn't know my hips could get such a workout!  I really like this routine and feel like you could take a lot of the moves straight over to a Latin dance club and fit right in.  The jive is a killer for your legs and cardio.  For the first week, I couldn't make it through the whole jive sequence and resorted to hitting pause and gulping water.  It's super fast with lots of quick leg kicks, but once you get a hang of it, the moves fit together really well.  The paso is mostly an arm workout, but I also found that it really worked my core as well because of how strong and rigid your frame needs to be.  I thought I would feel really stupid pretending to have a cape and dancing the "man's dance" without a man, but I actually really love this routine!

Even though the workout does move quickly, once I really learned the routines fully, I didn't have much interest in going through the whole video.  I'm not so into following a strict workout plan but enjoy doing the dances themselves.  Therefore, I made a playlist of songs at the right tempo and with the right beat for each style (most of them being songs that couples danced to on Dancing with the Stars!) and now just put it on in my living and dance for a quick 15-20 minute workout.  It's great for someone who doesn't have a lot of time to dedicate to a workout video but still wants to get something in to tone up, get the heart rate going, and have fun!

Great video. I haven't kept up on it like I should but every time I do it, it's a great workout! Definitely have seen some results too.

I LOVE this workout!  45 minutes was a little longer than I'm use to, but i didn't mind. I got amazing results in just a few weeks.  Its challangeling, but, Rebekah gives you beginners modifications with the weights and the cardio intervals, so you work your way up as you build your strength.  I enjoy a lot of the firm workouts and unlike Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, Im never bored!  I like this DVD so much, I actually went through and ordered a few other Firm workouts by Rebekah Sturke
