May 19, 2006 Barbie Bino (Scotland) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Well, I bought this purely because it was in the bargain bucket. It starts with a segment showing the girls going to rehearsals and getting make-up done. I assume this was to pad it out a bit... br / br /Then you get the warm up. This is really easy going and I have no real complaints about it. br / br /Next segment is the main workout. Um... no dancing involved that I could see. However, the exercises are simple and easy to follow, the girls look great and the instructor is clear and very unirritating. Could have done without him saying "enjoy the burn" quite so much though!! The workout is tough enough to make you sweat but not so tough that you will want to jack it all in and and lose all hope of ever keeping up. br / br /Next there is an utterly unhelpful dance segment which invloves a lot of posing and is totally unfollowable and just looks like a cheesy music video. This bit is blatantly not meant to be followed and is essentailly there so that men can enjoy themselves privately. Just skip it if you are actually trying to do a real workout. br / br /The cool down is again, simple and easy and I have no complaints. br / br /Overall: br /The Negatives: You do have to look at the the screen the whole time until you have done the DVD about 10 times. The music is basically the same song being pumped up and then chilled down over and over. Also there is a rather pathetic attempt to be sexy being made by Jodi the whole way through but I guess she got told to do that!!! br / br /The positives: It is a decent workout that is easy to follow and quite fun. Surely that means it does basically what it says on the tin even though the "dance" element is slightly debatable? Finally, this workout requires no equipment and just a wee space in the middle of your living room. br / br /Overall, give it a go if you want to get fitter - but not if you want to be a dance diva!!! And when you are done with it, lend it to your boyfriend!! Not much dance to this "Dance Workout" January 23, 2007 slush.puppy (UK) I chose this workout DVD as I quite like the girls characters in Hollyoaks and they have nice figures so thought it would be inspiring to watch. I also wanted a funky dance workout as it is a bit different to the ones I've tried before. When I watched the DVD I was a little disappointed - the introduction goes on for ages about the daily routines of the girls and how they eat and exercise, I found this a little uneccessary. Then the workout - the warmup is good and did what it said it would. The main workout (where I was expecting the dance) was okay. I think if you had never been to an exercise class before it might be a bit hard to follow the moves as no spoken instruction was really given and sometimes the move changed without any warning and I would suddenly realise that I was doing something different to the DVD! The warm down was quite nice with lots of stretching. The dance never really happened, the last section ("Freestyle") which was just fancy arty shots of the girls prancing around in short skirts wasn't quite what I had hoped for and I would have felt a little silly dancing round the front room on my own. Others may enjoy this though. Although it may sound like I didn't enjoy this DVD, that isn't really true - I found that the workout worked my muscles and did get my heart rate going. I think it would be better named a "toning" workout as I think it will certainly acheive this. Not impresed January 5, 2005 Donna Baxter (Merseyside) 29 out of 29 found this review helpful After a heavy christmas i decieded to get myself back to the gym and because i cant go every day i thought i would get a video and do that on the days i cant attend.pI was looking for something that would keep my interest and from adverts this looked like an energetic dvd with good music, i was so wrong. I got it home and thought why not have a go now, the dvd is too short the workout its self is not bad but is definatley not dance based. it has an ok warm up and cool down but if you really wanted to use this you would have to do it twice. The thing i was most dissapointed with was the dancing, the dance workout is apparently a 5 minute dance at the end of the workout which they say to follow the girls and learn the moves, im sorry but this part of the dvd is for men only, the camera is that close up at parts that you dont even know what moves you are supposed to be following. pThis is a dvd that will sit on my shelf for a long long time. Dont bother January 9, 2005 J. Lawrence (Birmingham UK) 14 out of 14 found this review helpful This dvd looked just what i wanted, a dance workout which would get me in shape after Christmas, when i put the dvd on however i was very disappointed. One section is definately more appealing to men with the camera angles, definately not a section that you can follow, so i agree with the other customer review, i think that section was meant for men to watch!pI didnt really feel like i had done a lot after doing the workout, probably because i lost interest after about the first 15 minutes though. Moves are too repetitive and are just very basic jogs etc! You need something to keep you motivated and i really dont think this does. hollyoaks dance workout January 26, 2005 louise wallace (wales) 11 out of 12 found this review helpful very misleading, no dancing involved at all. very hard to follow where and what your supposed to be doing without looking at the telly at all times - the free supplimentry strech and tone dvd was better and thats not saying much.
