Amazon.co.uk Review
For the first few minutes of The Hotpants Workout you might think you've tuned into Top of the Pops, as female dancers in skimpy, shimmery--yep you guessed it--hotpants dance around. Choreographer to the stars Dan Karaty maintains that Kylie and Britney have fantastic bodies thanks to dance. But the opening case study of a real dancer who had to get her figure back after a period of inactivity due to illness is unnecessary. It's only once the charming Karaty goes into the workout that there is no doubt he knows how to put across his point: dance is indeed a fun way to get a good body.

The session is divided into six sections which target legs, thighs, burning fat, waist, abs and glutes. "Bounce" features a sexy bounce move, "Slide" is based on a sexy slide from leg to leg, "Rush" is a fast fun section, and by the time you reach the slower "Groove" section you might kid yourself that you're just steps away from looking like Karaty's confident back-up dancers. "Two Step" is the hardest of the six sections in terms of coordination, but it's not impossible. The only disappointing section is the final cooldown. It's not as fun as the rest, and the addition of abs and glutes might complete the fitness aspect but doesn't gel with the rest of the up-beat funky workout. Not for serious fitness fanatics but undeniably fun--and it'll do wonders for your dance-floor cred. --Lorna V

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, good fun, instantly effective!, 29 Nov 2006
By Salparadise (Gloucestershire, UK) - See all my reviews
I was very pleasantly surprised by this DVD, I bought it along with Nell McAndrew and Davina after my boyfriend suggested it - I thought it sounded a bit of a joke. Haven't even played the other two yet, I am hooked on this! Been doing it two and a half weeks around 4 nights a week, along with swimming on Saturdays, and have noticed quite a difference, more toned and smaller thighs and midriff. No weight loss yet, but I don't trust scales anyway. I look and feel better, so I'm happy! And you really don't notice the time go by doing this workout. Slightly repetitive in places but always fun and I am uncoordinated and can do it, so give it a try!

5.0 out of 5 stars Someone actually got me working out...daily!, 3 Mar 2003
This review is from: The Hotpants Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I empathised totally with the dancer at the beginning of the video. It's the bottom half of her body which needs attention...I know how she feels! It's qute motivating to see her at her weekly weigh-ins. Admittedly, you don't need to see this bit every time you work out, so I put the tape on and let it run whilst I change into my workout clothes and move the coffee table. By the time this intro has finished, I'm psyched up and ready to go!

I have real issues with exercise motivation, especially alone and at home, but this video is so much fun, I look forward to getting home from work and getting straight into a workout before eating. I do it every day (and those who know me will know how unfeasible that is!)

The sections are just the right length and pace, and I didn't feel threatened by the dancers behind Dan Karaty. They all have different figures, but look fit and fab! However, don't let Dan tell you that Rush is the hardest section...it's way too much fun to be hard! The abs and glute workout at the end is relentless, but necessary. Dan keeps you focussed by reminding you of your technique, so you really feel the effects. Two Step has some tough footwork in it, but is brilliantly lightened up by Dan encouraging us to freestyle with our arms, and pose (vogue style) in the breaks!

I love this video and it is part of my life now! Even though I am out of breath and sweaty when I finish this workout, it doesn't really register because I've had so much fun! And I feel a certain smugness at being able to do 40 minutes exercise everyday, which is more than my hardcore gym-going friends manage!

Thanks Dan, you've changed my life!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic workout!, 20 May 2003
By Ali Gregory (Clifton, Bristol United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I'm always on the lookout for challenging workouts. I own about 15 exercise videos and DVDs but most of them don't leave me in much of a sweat. So I was really pleased to find that this workout really does up your heart rate. The only other workout that's made me sweat as much is Nell McAndrew's Peak Energy but that was too Army-regimented and boring for my liking.

The Hotpants Workout is perfect for all fitness levels - you can vary the difficulty according to which dancers you copy. There are breaks every ten minutes, which helps when you want some water or need to get your breath back! It's the most fun I've had working out. Some of the moves are a bit tricky but the presenter (Dan Karaty, who's very easy on the eye!) explains them well and mixes in easy steps so you don't feel like you have two left feet.

I liked the feature on the girl who spends six weeks doing the video to lose a stone and a half. You can really see the improvement (although they don't mention whether she also went on a diet during that time).

I'd recommend you get the DVD version of this workout. That way if you're short on time you can just do a few of the ten minute sections (there are six) without having to faff around fast-forwarding.

One slight criticism - the 'cool-down' is quite tough - some intense ab work isn't very relaxing - you might want to do a few further stretches afterwords. Also, that hotpants bum shot (which appears at the start of each section) is quite annoying!

I'd recommend this workout to anyone who wants to burn fat and loves dancing - there's a lot of opportunity for 'freestyling'. It's also good for the inner thighs - lots of 'slide' movements. It's refreshing to have a male presenter who isn't dressed in lycra. Dan Karaty has a fun approach without coming across as a cheerleader.
