Format:DVD
I was excited about getting this as Gareth Walker's Pump it Up! workouts are by far my favourites, both for his fun and upbeat instruction and the smile his routines always put on my face. This one is no exception; in fact it's probably a bit easier and more straightforward than previous Pump it Up! offerings. The DVD is set out in the following way:
Warm Up (about 8 mins)
Tone it Up (about 12 mins)
Shake it Move it
Pop it Lock it
Burn it Lose it (three sections of around 15 mins each)
Bums, Legs and Tums (around 10 mins)
The three dance sections follow the same format: the (brilliant!) music starts and Gareth talks and walks you through the dance steps, you follow along with his backing dancers, and then you all put the routines together at the end. 'Shake it Move it' contains club/dance moves, 'Pop it Lock it' is a street-dance style workout and 'Burn it Lose it' is a sweatier, more aerobic section with less emphasis on dance. All of them are great fun and if you have any of Gareth's previous DVD's, his presenting style is exactly the same - i.e. "pretend you're in a club and you want to attract someone's attention!" His flamboyant style really makes me smile while I'm working out, but I can understand it wouldn't be for everyone! Some of the moves can be a bit complicated, but Gareth demonstrates and explains the moves well so they get easier to pick up.
There is a warning at the start of the DVD that doing all three dance sections should only be attempted if you're very fit, but I managed it without too much strain - I actually felt this was a bit less high impact than previous 'Pump it Up!' workouts, so if you're a seasoned exerciser you shouldn't have too much trouble.
So...get this if you're interested in learning some new dance moves and don't mind a bit of fun and flamboyance while you're at it!

I test drove this fitness DVD prior to its release for a six week period and lost 11lbs. I would highly recommend this DVD. Gareth is awesome and has really worked hard to ensure this DVD will bring you results. The soundtrack is brilliant and Gareth keeps you motivated throughout. To get my results, I used this DVD x3 times a week and on a 4th day did the warm up and the abs section only.

Oh how I miss the times of days gone by when I used to strutt my stuff on the dance floor of various clubs shaking my booty. Fast forward 7 years and I am married to a man who I met in one of said clubs- must have been impressed with my moves ;-) and a mother to one. I thought my booty shaking days were over! Having lost 3 stones for my wedding years ago with the Vicky Entwistle WOW workout trying to lose my pregnancy weight was just not happening. Over the last few months I have infuriatated my husband spending a small fortune on workout dvds- all with various pros and cons. One of my recent purchases was Nadia Sawalha's Fat to Flab dvd which has the beautiful Deanne Berry, from the Call on Me music video, in it. Didn't love the dvd but did "love" Deanne who is a fabulous instructor. So I purchsed one of her Clubland dvds which then led me to this.
This dvd is soooooooo much fun- from start to finish. While I love dancing I am certainly not a natural and haven't picked up all the moves correctly. What I didn't get, I made up my own moves which I think were pretty similar. Gareth- the trainer- does explain the moves- very well- but as I said I'm not a natural. He is so much fun- could imagine going out with him and a few girlies to the local night club! The girls look beautiful and very inspiring. While doing the workout I couldn't stop giggling and my husband came in and said "I'm not sure you supposed to be laughing"- but I just couldn't help it. You can chose from the different sections- I chose four but you only need to choose three. I was sweating so much by the tummy toning section- much more than I usually do during my hardcore Jillian Michaels workouts.
I usually get irratated when people write reviews after having only done a workout once as I think how can you tell if it is gonna work after only one go.However, after doing this workout, I couldn't resist!
If you are up for some fun with your workout- this is definatly for you!!! You will NOT be disappointed. Can't wait to do it again tomorrow!!!!!
