Search - D's HIP-HOP AEROBICS 2 on DVD

Fun, but not a great workout

"This DVD, which runs about 45 minutes (50 minutes including the informational/promotional introducation), was fun but didn't do much in terms of giving me a workout. D is a good instructor, building at a fairly slow pace on a dance routine up until the last fifteen minutes, in which she adds to the routine more quickly, but except for beginning exercisers the moves and the pace are not going to raise many heart-rates. D is also not a chirpy, high-energy instructor; she has a cool NY vibe that is quite different from many aerobic workout DVDs. The camera work leaves something to be desired in terms of following the steps (often focusing on only the upper bodies, when the feet would be more helpful), but the routine is repetitive enough that after the first time through the workout that isn't too much of a problem. In summary, the "workout" is good for learning the routine, but not aerobic for any other than beginning exerciser. Buy it if you are starting out in exercise, or your want to see what it is like to learn a dance routine, but not if you are looking for an intermediate or advanced aerobic video."

"A fun and easy to Follow Workout"

"This DVD works perfectly for me and my friends!
We have some much fun doing the rountines and learn club moves that we vote it 5 stars Aerobics!I've been looking for a good workout video for awhile. My problem, I get bored. I've tried yoga and pilates and just couldn't stick with it. I've tried other dance type videos and just could not stand the instructor. This is a good video since it doesn't try to give you too much choreography so that you can put a little of yourself into the dance and have some fun. The instructor is not annoying and doesn't talk too much. Overall, a good video for people who needed to be entertained even when they are working out.

Definately I recommend it for everyone....."

Great variety compared to other hip hop videos

"Surprised at workout- great variety compared to other hip hop workout videos: a nice change with some new moves for even a seasoned workout video watcher. Felt like I didn't have to add any more after the workout. Great supplement to another dance routine for toning."

And I'm supposed to repeat this for how long?

"I found this video challenging...the first time i did it. Then it just got repetitive. While you do breakm a sweat, she only teaches you eight moves and the background music is not fly. They seem to repeat moves over and over and then surprise: its over. If I hadn't paid so little for it I would want my money back."
