Answer 1

I hated it. It was far too short--if I pop in a workout video I expect it to be 45 min to an hour. Her's was maybe 15, 20 if you include the stretching intro. Definitely not enough time to help you lose weight.

Plus I found it far too repetitive. She teaches you 4 steps of a dance, then you speed it up. Then you do it to music. Then you do 8 steps--the 4 original and 4 new ones. Then 16. So by the end I was so sick of the original 4 steps.

I didn't come close to breaking a sweat and for a real workout I'd have to do that video 5-6 times. By that time I'd be too bored. Try belly dancing instead. Way more interesting. Also, try either doing your crunches on a ball or on an incline. You have to do far fewer crunches to feel the same results.

For the best cardio, Denise Austin is still the best. No matter how many times I do that workout I am always exhausted. Cardio is what you need to be doing the most of for weight lost. My sister bumps up her cardio to 45 min a day when she is trying to lose weight but thats hard to not wear yourself out too much for your workout unless you do cardio in the morning and workout in the evening.

If you wish to lose weight you need to be working out at least an hour a day. Two if you can manage. What I would be doing is this. 30 min of cardio. You can do this through a jog outside, Denise Austin, a dance video, tai bo--anything that gets the heart rate up. The belly dancing video has 2 twins--Neema and Veema or something close. Just look up Belly Dancing in Netflix and it comes up. I love the stairstepper personally. Then I'd alternate with my workout. I'd do yoga--MTV yoga video is my personal favorite. I love it--it's fast paced not boring like a lot of yoga. It's great !. and alternate b/t that (which is mostly stretching/ toning) and an intense weight lifting. That way you don't get bored. Every day you do cardio. Every other day you do toning or weight lifting.

Remember there is no way to lose weight fast. Plan on maybe 2 lbs a week, unless you are very overweight. If you are very overweight, you'll probably need a trainer. It helps motivate you b/c when you are tired and want to stop you have someone riding your butt. Make working out more of a lifestyle though and figure out what you could cut out (soda, a lot of butter, mayo on sandwiches) that would cut your calories.

Good luck though and definitely check out the Denise Austin video. I've been working on it for a year and just finally managed to get all the way through it on moderate. I dont know when I'll be able to go all the way through on difficult. Tell me if you fair better!

Answer 2

Carmen Electra Workout Video

Answer 3

That workout is based on strippers' moves. If you want a dance workout, there are quite a few out there. YogaBooty ballet, Cadio dance(I think), and here is a link with a lot more dance fitness videos.

Answer 4

I did that workout video for a few months, and loved it! It doesn't teach you moves that strippers do, it just helps you work out, tone your body, and look sexy while you're doing it :) It's just the moves that girls your age like to do at dances and stuff, no worries!

Answer 5

Its a good workout, she takes the moves at a slow pace and their easy to learn. Also, its not slutty or anything like that.
