Product Description
Video Description
Is there a better way to work your body, burn calories and lose weight than to dance? The Hip Hop Workout is a brand new concept, mixing hip hop dance with aerobic exercise to produce a fast, effective and hugely enjoyable way of getting fit and burning that unwanted fat. Backed by a great soundtrack of hip hop tunes, the workout is choreographed by Tony Stone, who has worked with some of the hottest dancers on the scene, including the legendary Michael Jackson, and dancers and choreographers for Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
The programme begins with an essential 10-minute warm-up, followed by the main workout, which is broken down into four 9-minute sections that ultimately come together to create a final performance piece for when you’re ready to work that booty on the dance floor! Pretty soon you’ll be looking and feeling great, plus you’ll be able to bust some seriously cool hip hop moves.

Format:DVD
I get bored easily and was looking for something a little bit more fun than that Pilates and Yoga DVD's I've recently been doing. I've never danced before (unless you count Saturdays nights out raving and clubbing in the youth) and have never tried following any choreographed moves, so this was a first!
The DVD comes across as really fresh, young and funky. The design and navigation of the DVD are great and there are some chilled out hip-hop tunes to get down to. I must be really slow, but it took me AGES to pick up most moves...
One of the really great things about the DVD is that each section is shown to you, then you get to practice it 4 times before they move on to the next little section and everything is broken down into tiny little bits. However, despite it being repeated 4 times, It was not enough for me, and I had to keep hitting the back button on the DVD player and I re-did each bit several times before finally getting it and feeling confident enough to move on to the next bit.
When you do finally get, for example, the full first section, it feels great! The feeling of achievement is brilliant and you do actually feel like you are dancing (like an extra in a Justin Timberlake video or something!).
Physically, it's akin to a decent step aerobics session, but it is very varied, some moves are really easy to get and aren't too energetic, whilst others require jumps and a lot more concentration.
The fact that its all filmed in what appears to be a car garage is a little strange, but in general its a great, fun way to work out and I'd heartily recommend it to anyone who fancies giving dancing a go.

Format:DVD
I go by reviews when selecting books and DVDs so a good acurate review is a great help for everyone. I was drawn to the DVD as it is only one of a few 'worhtwhile' dance DVDs. Im not an experienced dancer in anyway i was just seeking to improve rhythm and i had heard that the DVD was a little hard to keep up with, which is very true!
This is the however part. I was put off by my purchase for the first few days as the routines are carried out WAY to fast which is a little annoying. Surely as the DVD is only 40mins long they could have had a beginners section where the steps are laid out in basic form. You do get to see each little module 4 times but trying to follow professional dancers isnt going to be quick and easy.
It is fun though and after a couple of weeks (realisticaly!) you will get the hang of it, like anything else really. So if your willing to put the effort in, the buy is definitly worth the few bucks that it costs. Sum kool tracks too..
Hope this is a clear overview

Format:DVD
I bought this dvd looking for something fresh and different, which is exactly what it is. The music is not great but the breakdown of the dance is fairly comprehensive, and it is pretty intense and gives a good workout, however once you have the routine, repeating the video gets VERY boring. The moves are all broken down about 4 or 5 times, which gives a longer work out in the beginning but once you have mastered it, it is less sweat and more yawning. You almost want to fast forward just to get to the end performance so you can show off your moves.
Good if you want something different but dont depend on it to be working you just as hard after a few weeks.
