"I'm hooked! I first heard of Rania through the flexibility training 'extra' on another DVD. Checked out a couple of her programs through Netflix and loved them. I have Hip-Hop Hip-Drop, Personal Trainer, and Too Hip. I alternate the cardios and add a 'focus' or two as time allows. Rania is personable, the music and extra dancers are great, and the work-outs are fantastic. After a few times, when I had a handle on the routines, I realized, yeah, okay, the cues might be off a bit, but I haven't come across an exercise video that didn't have goofs like that.
If you're not familiar with bellydance moves, I suggest Personal Trainer because of the 'video' library of the moves. Just going through each move in the library can give you a workout! Someone said Too Hip was more advanced and I agree with that. Get a couple of her other videos first.
I look forward to doing Rania's workouts so much that it's been over two months since I've done any other videos."
FUN!!!

"I think I was smiling the entire time through this DVD--I had a GREAT workout and I had fun doing it! Granted, I have been a fan of Rania for awhile now. If you've never done bellydance before, this isn't the one to start with, as there is little in the way of instruction in this DVD. "My Personal Trainer" is a much better one to start with. This is geared toward the bellydancer with some experience under her belt who wants a great cardio workout. However, if you've had a bit of instruction before, you should be able to keep up, as she does lots of repetitions before moving on to the next combo. There are a total of 7 combos, which all get strung together into a 35-minute workout that keeps your heart rate up, targets major muscle groups (except maybe the arms), and is FUN!!!"

"I love this DVD. It made me sweat and gave me a great workout. I also had lots of fun. My only advice if you are a beginner I would get thur all of Rania's workout tapes first as this is very intermediate. If you are not familar with the moves from previous video''s then you would be lost. This is fast.
