When I saw that the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders had Calorie Blasting Dance video I was thrilled. I'm your averaged sized 27 year old woman who works out about 4-5 days a week and I love a good dance exercise video. I was seriously disappointed. After 15 minutes I turned it off. I hadn't even broken a sweat...and I break a sweat caring laundry up and down my stairs at home. I probably burned more calories getting ready to workout. It was THAT bad. The "dance" moves are not physically challenging. The cheerleaders are annoying. I'm sorry to say it, but I wouldn't recommend this video.

The dallas cowboys cheerleaders have finally decided to put out a fitness video.what took so long?Well first you have a intro from the head cheerleader who shows you that instead of marching as you normally do in dance or any workout video you do a march called "sexy walk",which is you marching on your toes,it can get tiresome but you are toning your calves.Then she shows you the time out tap that they normally do which can get a little confusing if you have trouble with the coordination.Then they have the dance break downs from 5 cheerleaders and the moves are really easy they do a good job of slowing down and really intructing you on the moves,The girls seem like fun nice girls you would want to learn dallas cowboy cheerleader moves from.The cons of this workout dvd is that there is no kick line base moves,I mean that is signiture dcc isn't it.Also they give you a dcc sideline dance on the dvd but it's really just the cheerleaders showing off and there's no instruction to do these sideline moves,so your left just staring at the tv thinking gee must be cool to dance like that.There's a bonus section which consits of a ab workout which is alright but you probrably have to run through it 5 times to really get the benefits of the ab workout.

I was SO excited when I heard this was coming out. I have been trying to lose a few pounds for years, but have a major problem with motivation... So I thought, hey, this looks fun and its only 30 minutes. I can do that!

The dvd has 5 women (One of which has an AMAZINGLY annoying voice) doing 3 - 8 minute repetitions. I didn't even work up a sweat doing this workout. It might be good for toning, but "high calorie burn dance blast" it certainly isn't. I wouldve been better off using that money on a gym membership.

I associate the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders with dynamic, fun dance routines, so I expected more from this workout. However, it's really just a lot of walking in place, on your tiptoes and stepping side-to-side. I think it was made REALLY tedious by the fact that you repeated these moves as if they were really complicated. I guess they wanted to make the routines accessible to the masses, but it does not provide enough challenge for an adequate workout. My heartrate barely elevated, if at all. This routine would get boring very quickly, as there is no room to grow. Even the most rhythm challenged individual would be able to pick up the steps the first time they tried the DVD.

One of the few positives is that the dancers leading the workout have vibrant personalities, but it is not enough to sell me on this workout.

The DVD is 36 minutes long, and the dance routine is divided into 4-5 min sections led by the different cheerleaders. The music in the routine is a very nondescript, and the moves don't coincide with the beat at all. If they decide to make another dance workout DVD, I would recommend that they include more complicated dance moves and better music. I just cannot recommend this very boring DVD. If you are looking a fabulous dance workout DVD, try Dance off the Inches:Hip Hop Party or Lindsay Brin's Dance Jam (which is also by NFL cheerleaders, but includes much better dance moves).

As a cheerleader growing up and a past cheer coach I thought this would be a fun workout. Fun it is. But I was expecting it to be a little more fast as far as dancing goes. I would of loved to learn something more like the sideline dance routine which is featured in the bonus feature section. That is what i was expecting more of. If the girls would of taught the sideline dance routine then this would of been 5 stars. For beginners it is great. I will be challenging myself to learn the sideline routine myself..

I have watched "Making the Team" on CMT since the first season and have always admired how fit the girls are. When I heard about the exercise videos, I thought it would be a great opportunity to learn some of the dance routines and spice up my cardio routine. What a disappointment! The moves are so basic and slow that you can't really get your heartrate up at all. If you have done any kind of aerobics classes, you are probably too advanced for this DVD. I would love for them to try again with an exercise routine that keeps you moving and doesn't explain what basic moves (like a grapevine) are during the class.

I agree that it's way dumbed down for the masses but I think the bootcamp one is too. Even so, its fun and what's cool is that it's something different for when you want a light, fun workout. I like that I'm working out with DCCs, its kind of idk "girly, high school fun stuff". Apparently I'm 1 of the few who broke a sweat but I'm not in great cardio shape even though I'm not heavy and I do workout on avg 3x a wk. Order it but don't expect to be very challenged just have fun!

When I heard about this workout DVD, I was really excited. The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are known for being professional dancers and wonderful performers, so naturally I assumed their dance workout would be worthwhile. First off, the routine can't even be called a workout. A person would have to be very out of shape in order to get an actual workout out of the video. Secondly, the "professional" dancers couldn't even keep the beat throughout the routine! I have been dancing, singing, and playing music since I was 3 years old, I know how to keep a steady beat. When I tried out this video, I was completely shocked when these girls got as much as 4 beats ahead! I couldn't even make it through the entire video, it got so bad. That is absolutely unacceptable for so-called professional dancers. I even had my mother try this video out, as she has no experience in dance or music at all, and even she noticed that the girls got off the beat! I've been looking for a number to call to complain about the video, and I can't find one anywhere, which is another strike against the DCCs. I will never recommend this video to anyone.

I bought this because I'm a big cowboys fan, and I thought it would be fun to learn some of the DCC routines. I read the other customers' somewhat negative reviews, but I'm not in the best shape, so I thought it would be okay for me.

WRONG! First off, the DVD is SHORT, around 45 minutes from start to finish. You only get one dance routine, which is broken up into four parts. I was expecting some fun dance music (similar to what the cheerleaders perform to), and it was a lame techno-type track throughout. I also found some of the girls' voices to be particularly annoying.

I didn't feel energized or like I burned any calories.

All in all, this product was a big disappointment for me.

This DVD is a terrible workout video. It did not bring up my heart rate at all, in fact walking up one flight of stairs is more difficult than this entier DVD. All of the moves are done at an extremely slow pace, and even when you do the dance at the cheerleaders pace it still was not a cardio-like workout. I purchased this because I thought it would be fun and slightly challenging, which was not the case. The DVD only includes one dance that takes less than a minute perform. In the bonus features, they have an ab workout which also is way too easy. There is no way the DCC cheerleaders do this workout to get fit!
