Fun workout, poorly named
This is a fun workout with a vetran home fitness leader. I enjoyed the flow and that there wasn't a ton of taking it from the top and thought tha Kimberly was encouraging and cued well. HOWEVER, it's not a dance workout at all, more of a lower impact cardio routine with a dance flair. If you're looking for a dance workout, give this one a pass. If you like low impact cardio, this may be something you'd enjoy. |  | Reviewed on 2008-03-03
Eh...Not Great, Not Horrible...
SELF's Dance You Way Slim is a 50-minute cardiovascular dance workout (a little less, of coarse, without the warm-up and cool-down). POSITIVES: The instructor, Kimberly Spreen is fun and encouraging with a great personality (and even her mute back-up dancers have personality!). If you keep moving, you will sweat a lot and get a decent workout. The outdoor setting (Arizona, I believe) is nice. NEGATIVES: If you are a high intermediate to advanced exerciser, you will only want to pull this one out on your light days, or for a little variety, as this one is not too intense at all (it is the sheer length of the workout that will make you sweat as opposed to the actual workout itself). In fact, a lot of the moves are so easy that they seem to cause your heart rate to go back down (and I don't think they were intended to). As there are a good bit of athletic moves such as jogging, jacks, etc., a lot of it is not really dance. BOTTOM LINE: There are a lot of other, better dance-based exercise DVDs out there. | | Reviewed on 2007-12-07
Mostly aerobics w/some dance moves thrown in
I love dance workouts & have a whole collection. I gave this a shot from my library & glad I didn't even waste it on a rental.
It's Kimberly Spreen w/2 women backup in someone's backyard w/an incredible mountain view background. The music is all synthesizer which was annoying & not motivating.
This is mostly a lot of step touches, some "fancy" jogging, some jumping jacks w/some easy dance moves thrown in like some mambos, cha-chas, double steps, single-double lung move, chest pops, single hip circles, and kinda arobic hip hop wanna be. All the moves weren't done well in my opinion considering I like dance videos from people who can dance well w/fluidity & body awareness & enthusiasm. Kimberly has none of this..
I felt like I was in a 1980s aerobics class. That's said, this is not a "no pain, no gain" pace, but more sedentary. If she gets your heart rate up with a few jumping jacks, she immediately has a rest, so you move fast, slow, fast, slow...
She does cue very well & she goes in 1/2 time several times before going to normal tempo, but she doesn't explain the moves except from an aerobic standpoint.. say for crescent hip circles "keep that core engaged..."
It has a 5 min warmup & cool-down with 40 min "workout"

staying fit
I am not very coordinated, but for the most part, I was able to follow the tape. It is not extremely aerobic, but I thought it gave me a pretty good work out. I felt it the next day. I currently use free weights and treadmill and got this for variety. | | Reviewed on 2007-07-03
ok, not great
This video deserves about a C+ ...The title says 'Dance' but the video has very few actual dance moves. It was more of a low/medium impact step class without the step. very very basic. The music was a bit annoying & boring as well, but you can tune that out...This video is certainly not the best dance video I've done, but it was still a good cardio workout, and it is better than not doing one at all! | |
