CD:UK Dance Workout (DVD)

i bought this because i wanted to lose weight and hate exercising and thought that doing a dance type form of excercise would be fun. i like the upbeat music but it is too complicated and fast to follow,but my young daughters enjoyed it!

Th CD UK dance workout is a fitness routine for any age! It combines hip hop beats with some of the fresh funkiest dance moves around. It is a brill way to stay fit and healthy and also have fun. Some of the moves admittley only look good on certain people but it good to have a go. Moves including B Boy, body ripples, body popping nd chug steps, dont worry if you dont know what they are you are taught.
The whole thing is very bright from the outifts to the backdrop and surroundings. I must admit i was quite disappointed with the soundtrack, expecting it to be full of pop tunes you could sing along to i was wrong, basically its jst a couple of beats and bangs.
The guy teacher is called Andy Instone, who is a brilliant well known hip hop dancer, who puts literally evrything into his moves which you will be able to see but admittedly hes not the best. But being a experienced chereographer and master teacher he brings the freshest moves straigh to your living room.He is surrounded by a group of dancers, some of them you may recognise from his other videos such as 'Phat Moves'
As you turn the dvd on it comes up with a health warning and unfortunately it is impossible to rewind this bit my advice is to get a bottle of water for yourself !
The 3 sections that come up is
Full Workout- this includes everything from both of the 2 routine teachings, warm up, chill down and the 2 performances.
Pick a routine- This lets you choose what you want to do instead of having to go throughh everyything.
Behind the scenes- Auditions of the cast, meet the team, dancing for fitness, rehearsals, meet andy unstone nd bonus moves - plus you can find the hidden 'easter egg' to reveal an exclusive extra feature.
The warm up gets your body ready to exercise preventing injury, the dance workout is split into 2 sections, a beginning routine and a harder one for the more advanced dancer, then once you know the routines inside out there is a performance where you will repeat the dance over and over again, then the chill out where you can relax your body and stretch those muscles.
The teaching is good but can go to fast at some points so just rewind back and play until u got it.
Enjoyable dvd but a little bit cheesy !

I Found this was a fun way to work out it was something me and my daughter could both do together. It starts of ok easy to follow but does get harder to follow the moves as time goes on but you do build up a sweat its just a bit of fun but can be used for someone who wants to learn to dance its worth a go.

i purchased this dvd,at a nice cheap price,under 5 pounds including postage,but very hard to follow all the dance moves,goes way too quick!but it is fun trying,and the kids enjoyed it!

i brought it for my 13 n 15 yr olds and they didnt like it as it was so fast no slow time just straight in on the fast furious moves

This DVD is not for beginers! Found it fairly advanced and has difficulity in keeping up with the moves. After a few goes, it did get slightly easier but not much!

what a load of crap im 43 its aimed at someone approx 17 all i needed at the end was to swivel on my shoulder like hip hop man should have an age limit on not for older dancers

Decided to buy it to get fit! It is good because it is very energetic, but the moves are ridiculous!!!!

Unsure whether i could ever work out to this as it is very disappointing and unlikely you would a) get any pleasure trying to do the silly dance moves to a very annoying guy and b) get even slightly fit. Wish id purchased a proper work out dvd.

it is good fun.. although some of the moves are hard t catch on too and some area bit repeatitive but all in all it good fun to do and see how cheesy it is. only problem is that the music is just random it is notby actual artists. but its ok.

This dvd is a great work out for those who enjoy a good dance, also it's quite funny to watch the people on the dvd. There is some great music and the kids love to join in with you!

Wanted to exercise and have fun so this is ideal dance the fat away and learn new moves i didnt even think i could do and i am not a teenager

Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.

Great enhusiastic teacher, good teaching and fun DVD, excellent to pick up ideas for classes or to just use as a workout, kids/teens will love it.

i liked it because it lookrd fun and energetic its a little bit hard for me but i need to lose some weight for my upcoming holiday so i will persevere

i just couldnt get on with the routine. very fast and difficult.
and starts right away the there is now sorta warm up it starts n fast from the start.

my daughter thought it looked and sounded good. yet it was to full on without real consideration to teach how to dance.

this work out really gets your heart beating but is quite hard to get used to as some of the moves and hard to get to grips with

I am 41 years old but still think Im 20!!! I am a keep fit fanatic and LOVE hip hop. This video is fab, you have to be patient and it all comes together. When the music starts at the parties you will steal the show!!! Have just ordered his other dvd "phat moves"!! Well done ANDY!!! Yeeaah...Wadup!!!

it was not really what i was looking for it was not working out any part of your stomache mainly upper body.will have too fine a new home for it.thanks sindy

Great for losing those extra pounds put on at xmas,much more fun than usual workout dvds as not boring.

Good dance workout DVD, with a beginner and intermediate routine to learn. Routines were well demonstrated and I did learn them after a few tries! Is good for getting your heart pumping faster and making you sweat!
The only critisism I have is that I didn't feel like the stretches were very good and I don't think I would be happy with using only this DVD for full body toning, but it is good for more cardio work.
But I think its a good buy and makes exercising fun.

Impossible to get past the first 5 minutes.. it is way to comple and way too fast and definitely aimed at young people who want to dance rather than get fit.. absolutely not a fitness dvd.
