4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, March 17, 2002

This review is from: CherFitness: Body Confidence [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This workout is divided into two sections: the first is a 38 minute fat-burning aerobic dance workout and the second is a gruelling all-over body workout using resistance bands.

The "Hot Dance" workout is led by top choreographer, Doriana Sanchez. Sanchez has choreographed Cher's stage shows and videos; was one of the dancers in the Patrick Swayze film, Dirty Dancing; choreographed the live Dirty Dancing shows; Copacabana and many other popular shows. Anyone who has Cher's first workout tape will remember Sanchez as the one on the floor without the step :-) This workout is fun and you go straight into the warm-up and then on to building up the dance routine little by little. Some of the steps are a little bit tricky and yes, it is a little repetitive but thats all to the good and the moves are demanding enough that even if you mentally wished it was longer and more varied, your body is perfectly happy with the workout as it is :-) Overall the first workout is fun to do and it doesn't get old. The music isn't as good as Cher's last fitness tape but it's still good enough to workout with especially when you bear in mind that this tape was made ten years ago! Like a lot of dance workouts, you're not going to use this to put on your own show, but it's great for burning fat and I find that I see results straight away. Cher's workout tapes are the ones I use when I need to lose weight. I'd recommend using this with Cindy Crawford's Next Challenge [fabulous for toning, strengthening and stamina] They're fun and maybe I'm in the minority but I actually loved Cher's workout gear :o)

Workout two is a 45 minute killer. Although this workout is designed to be used with resistance bands, you can do it just as well using weights. This workout is very intense and it's very encouraging to see Cher expressing the same pain you are feeling as you are put throught the moves. The results are very good but can I say.... OW! It really is difficult. Even the super-fit will struggle with this workout at first, because of its intensity and because it works those muscles that don't often get used.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cher scores a win again, April 22, 2002

I love this video! The Hot Dance really gets the heart pumping and the body sweating! Dorian Sanchez is a wonderful and fun instructor. I still have fun with this workout, and I've been doing it off and on for ten years! I am not very coordinated when it comes to dancing, but I find the moves easy to follow and fun to do. It is tough to do in a small space, but I would strongly recommend this aerobic workout if you want fun and effective.

The second section in done with resistance bands and is also very good. Personally I'm not crazy about the bands, but I'm sure you could do most of it just as well with hand weights. I don't do this workout as often as the first, but it is good also.

CHER ROCKS! :)

4.0 out of 5 stars not what i expected, August 27, 2004

I was so looking forward to another Cher video after watching "A New Attitude". I was somewhat disappointed in this tape, mainly because Keli Roberts wasn't instructing. It's very dancy and fun and uses a fundamental building technique which can seem repetitious. It is very well choreographed and, while the steps seem intimidating at first, it flows well. Cher is funny and campy and doesn't take herself too seriously. Overall, a very good video for those with an intermediate skill level.
