"Cardio" is a Misleading Title ...

"How they can call this video "cardio" is beyond me ... the pace is so slow you'll never get your heart rate up, and you'll never break a sweat. You could sleep walk through all the moves in the entire video, that's how lame it is. This is not exercise at all. :(

If you are a total beginner to belly dance and want a slow, well demonstrated view of belly dance moves, this could be good to start with for you.
Once you have the basic moves (typically, after 3-5 viewings of this DVD), go to Dolphina's "Basics of Bellydance". or just save time and money and start with that DVD to begin with. it's a much better workout then this, and you won't grow out of it in a week.

If you have mastered the basics of belly dance and are looking for a more challenging way to dance away the pounds, stay clear of this DVD. Instead got with Dolphina's earlier "warrior goddess" workout."

Great workout, great attitude adjustment!

"This dvd provides all the basic bellydance moves to get a great cardio workout! The first 3 sections break down the bellydance isolations so even if you are completely new to bellydance, you can learn. These sections help me to tone and sculpt my muscles and refined these movements. Each of these segments slowly build on themselves so that they get your heart rate going. Then the dvd goes into the shimmies, which is such a great cardio workout on its own and then 2 long cardio bellydance combination segments and then a routine. I find it an easy and enjoyable workout. I love all the uplifting comments from dolphina and feel my attitude is always adjusted to feeling uplifted by the end of the workout. I highly recommend this dvd to bellydancers, dance fitness lovers and those who havent exercised in a long time!"

Impressed!

"I have a few bellydance workout DVDs...but I have to say, I am very pleased with Dolphina's teaching style! She really breaks each move down step by step. This is the first time I feel I have made progress on my Camels. Great cardio segment...you will feel it!"

Amazingly good...

"I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with this new video from Dolphina. It actually did get my heart rate up, which is more than I can say from some of the other videos out there. The thing to remember is that Dolphina's videos are "workout videos" and not authentic bellydance instruction. Keep that in mind and you should be able to enjoy it. I do wish she had not called one of the steps "milkshake" though. It made me think of the song by the same name (brings boys to the curve). Gag. Also, if you want more workout..you may wish to add a weight belt from [..]"
