Format:DVD
I got this DVD as a bit of dancey fun to go alongside my more hardcore workouts (Davina, Nell McAndrew etc), and for this reason I wasn't disappointed. Robin Antin (scary looking American dancer/choreographer type) and her perfectly toned dancers take you through three workouts - Don't Cha Workout, Burlesque Workout and Buttons Workout (Don't Cha and Buttons, as you might expect, are dances to the Pussycat Dolls' songs of the same name). Each workout also includes a 'Breakdown' section so you can do this and learn the moves first before putting them all together in the full workout.
Upsides - the dance moves are broken down well and aren't too difficult to learn - if you've perfected any of the Ministry of Sound DVDs you'll probably nail them on the first try - and they're also a lot of fun, although Robin and her dancers do tend to take themselves quite seriously (this in itself is something to have a laugh about, especially if you're doing this in a group!)
Downsides - you only learn one dance sequence per workout, which you then repeat for the duration of the song. If you're new to dance workouts this might be a good introduction, but there is a risk of getting bored if you intend to do this workout every day, besides which one song isn't a long time to be working out for. Robin also screams instructions all the way through the actual workouts which ruined the impact of the songs for me...she'd have been best off saving her shouting for the breakdown sections (but horses for courses I suppose!)
There is a 'special feature' on the DVD in which Robin tells you about all the famous people she's worked with in the past as well as how she got into dancing and choreography, but I found this a bit boring and rambling. Certainly don't expect to be hearing any juicy gossip, or indeed anything, from the Pussycat Dolls themselves!
On this note, if you were expecting to be led by Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed - she makes a brief appearance in the 'Buttons Workout' section, huffing and puffing her way through the moves (she must have been putting that on for our benefit!), but doesn't say much at all. The workout is very much led by Robin. I didn't mind this as I'm not actually a huge PCD fan, but I might well have been disappointed otherwise, especially as the DVD is very much marketed with Nicole at the forefront.
In short, buy this if you want a bit of fun and are looking to pick up some dance moves, but if you're looking for something that will actually get you working hard and out of breath, try something else!

Format:DVD
In summary - each routine is about 20 seconds long and easy to learn, though harder to perfect. Then you repeat the same 20 second piece several times to the dedicated song (total of 3 songs on ths DVD). Total workout on this DVD (once you've learnt the routines) would be about 20 minutes, including the warm up and cool down! My husband purchased this for me as a impulse buy (not from Amazon) as he knows I love dance/workout DVD's. I think he was also hoping to see the Pussy Cat Dolls working out but you only get to see one for about 3 minutes of Don't Cha. Repetative, boring, and not a work out at all - going to stick with something like Zumba instead.

I saw this DVD advertise and i thought it looked amazing. I do workout dvds at least 5 times a week and i've been from the pump it up dvd workout to the nell mcandrews and for past 6months i been doing charlie brookes and i thought its time for a change because im getting bored and not losing anymore weight or toning up as much because i need to change my workout so i ordered this. I've only just done it and to be honest I was quite disapointed.
Don't get me wrong, it's easy. great moves and i can feel it on my stomach but when i finished, i didnt feel like i worked, i put my all into it but just didnt feel 'the burn' like i did with the other workouts. In my opinion i would have liked it to be an hour longer to be honest. And i would have liked there to have been a few more dances to learn.
This workout video is more for having fun. But if you want to lose weight then i would suggest a more high energy workout.

A warm up, 3 routines and a cool down. There is two good songs. Each routine is very short (4 sets of 8). You repeat it again and again. Read more

Good fun
This DVD is a fun workout, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is serious about losing weight or getting fit. But it is fun to do.
