First fitness product to offer continuous 3-D geometric rendering of exercise movements throughout the program, plus a progress bar for counting reps. Throughout the program personal trainer Andy Troy CSCS offers exercise safety tips.

Review
Who this DVD is for: -a student of belly dance who wants to get more strength and tone in her abs, make her belly dance movements stronger, or wants a great abdominal workout, or -a follower of the bellydance aerobic fitness trend who wants an intense workout, or -someone who owns both of Neon's instructional DVD's and is comfortable with the moves taught there, or -someone with previous dance experience who is good with "monkey see, monkey do" style learning Who this DVD is not for (yet): -if you want a video to LEARN belly dance -if you are new to belly dance and don't yet have a grasp of the basic movements. -if you don't want to get a great abs workout. (No kidding around here!) Before beginning this workout it's important to keep in mind what it is -- a workout. Although you will practice bellydance, as all of the sections are completely comprised of bellydance moves, don't expect to buy this DVD and have it be your one-stop shopping for instruction and workout. They haven't made anything like that yet. The pacing required for instruction is way too slow to get your heart rate up for a cardiovascular or fat burning workout. Stopping to explain the movements would disrupt the flow of the workout and would keep it from being nearly as good. In order to work the abdominals, one must drill them without taking breaks for explanation. Neon is an excellent Bellydance instructor but the purpose of this DVD to get your abs in shape, not to learn how to dance. There is absolutely no bellydance instruction on "Belly Dance for Body Shaping: Abs." This workout was designed for someone who already knows bellydance and wants to be lead through a great workout; it's difficulty would be considered at the Intermediate level. The movements are all done quickly in succession leaving no time for instruction. Although instruction is beyond the scope of this video, Neon does give pointers as to what muscles to be contracting for the different movements -- more like good reminders than instruction. Andy Troy, a certified strength and conditioning specialist, pops in throughout the workout with helpful, real-time tips for getting the safest and most conformable workout. This is important so you don't strain your knees or lower back. Two sphere shaped diagrams representing the ribcage and the pelvis are always on the left side of the screen to show how each movement relates to the muscle groups in the area. Although they will help you understand what move you are doing at any given time, they will by no means help explain. A basic knowledge and competency with belly dance are required here. You don't have to be the star attraction at the local Mediterranean restaurant here, you just need to have a basic working knowledge of belly dance. A progress bar counts the number of moves you have done so far and shows you how many left till the next change. This is helpful for both cueing and motivational purposes. If you already know what you're doing, bellydance wise, this is as good of a practice session as it is a workout -- excellent overall. --amazon.com (US)

Dinnal-Allen (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    Having done bellydancing for a few months and highly enjoyed it, I wanted to be able to continue at home. This DVD seemed perfect, with 15 minute sessions that I could easily fit into my daily routine. However, had I not already done some belly dancing, I would have been almost completely lost! I'm pretty well co-ordinated, but this DVD really doesn't explain the moves very clearly and the 'geometric display' is actually just two spheres, one for the upper torso and the other for the hips, and the 'easy to follow instructions' are yellow lines on these spheres-not quite what I'd had in mind. Having said that, I can see how the workouts would eventually help you tone your abs, but it's pretty difficult to get the hang of belly undulations even with a teacher present, let alone trying to follow Neon's brief instructions: ' out, tense, tense, in. repeat'. I will persevere as I'm hoping it'll be worthwhile, but let's just say I'm glad that it cost less than a fiver when I bought it. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Mabrouk (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This DVD is great, three 15-min. workouts built entirely on abs-toning, abs-sculpting exotic belly dance moves. Learn and practice belly dance steps during the workout, then follow Neon as she demonstrates a real choreographed 2-min. dance! The dance can be accessed separately for review before leaving for a dance club or party. First fitness product to offer continuous 3-D geometric rendering of exercise movements throughout the program, plus a progress bar for counting reps. Throughout the program personal trainer Andy Troy CSCS offers exercise safety tips. To make belly dance easy to learn and fun to practice as an improvisational world dance art, Neon has created her "Instant" or "3D" belly dance instruction system. The system presents dance moves as trajectories following geometric shapes. Throughout the workout onscreen graphics offer 3-D geometric rendering of each dance move in relation to ribcage and pelvis. Brilliant! Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
