Cardio-wise, this workout is on the lighter side. It's also rather short--I believe the cardio section (minus stretching and cool-down) is only about 20 minutes long. The moves are enjoyable in that they are actual dance moves (albeit a bit dated) versus just atheltic moves/kicks/jumps, etc.
Difficulty-wise, I'd say it's light to light-medium--I'm not a dancer but not a novice either. I was able to follow along all the way through the first time, and in a couple of workouts I got all the moves.
Whenever I do this workout, I combine it with the Reebok Hi-Low Aerobics, because I don't feel I've gotten a decent workout from just this tape alone.
I'd give this workout 3.5 stars if the rating system allowed me to do so.
January 23, 2007I would recommend this video to anyone. It may take you few times to learn all the moves but its fun just trying. And once you get the jist of it - you're hooked! It keeps my heart rate up and I have never gotten bored of it - you get out what you put in.
January 15, 2007This was one of my favorite workout videos. I think it was supposed to be a dance club-inspired workout because the sets are dark, there are sillouettes of (tasteful) go-go dancers in the background and it even came with an accompanying tape of the music they used in the workout. I liked Petra's choreography and didn't have trouble following along too much after the first time through, and I've never had dance training. This workout is about 30 minutes long.
February 2, 2006I am NOT a dancer by any stretch of the word, but this workout sounded fun so I thought I would give it a try. I absolutely love this video. Usually I dread working out - but not with this routine. You can actually look forward to excercise now. Don't let the other reviews discourage you if you are looking to buy it. You may have to watch the video a few times before mastering it, but it is well worth the time.

This workout is frustrating. It is advanced,very little time is spent ( if any) on teaching viewers the moves.And understandably so, it would takes hours to illustrate the numerous amount of moves involved.It's complicated and intense. It's like trying to follow a freight train going 1000mls an hour.Petra is generally a good instructor, but I think they missed it with this one.But as my title says, it's great if you have your coordination down and are already familiar with some of these movements.
