4.0 out of 5 stars A Rockin' and Rollin' good time for those who like to boo-gay, April 20, 2006

This review is from: Fit to the Hits with Tamilee: Rock Hard Assets (DVD)

Finally! A workout that pumps up the music and focuses on having fun and being yourself.

I watched the DVD through the first time, and thought, "Bah. This looks like a waste of time, I don't think I'll even break out a sweat". But boy, did I. And it wasn't because the workout was hard, it was because I responded to Tamilee's prompts of 'giving it all you've got', and 'letting loose'. Somehow she just managed to lure me out of being in a tight aerobics shell and break out into dance. I shall admit that there have been moments where I have been so into the groove of a particular step in a combination that I keep on doing it instead of moving on.

Tamilee is good at cueing, laid back and motivating without being girly, mushy or perky. In this DVD of Fit to the Hits, she breaks out into song quite a bit. If you have the Motown Moves DVD, she sings a lot less - this doesn't bother me too much, but some people have based their entire judgement of the workout based on her singing. For chrissake, once you've got the moves down, you can switch to the music only version if it bothers you that much. For me, the breaking out into song contributes to the laid-back-be-yourself-cut-loose-have-fun atmosphere.

The moves are not complicated. Tamilee cues very well and takes you through difficult moves at half time before performing the move at tempo. If you can do a grapevine, a chasse, jumprope or a step-touch - then you can do this workout. There are a few bits of the workout which are high impact, and she doesn't tell you how you can modify them, so you just have to think of how to modify yourself.

Now, here are the songs, in order of appearance:

1 - Free Ride (Warmup)

2 - Your Love is Driving Me Crazy

3 - China Grove

4 - Rock 'n Roll Band

5 - The Kid is Hot Tonight

6 - Free Ride (Cooldown) <--- liked the song so much, they put it in twice

The only song I recognised out of all of them was Free Ride, but even then I was able to have fun and 'rock out' with all of the songs.

Now, some things that bother me about the DVD - and this is common to both of the Fit to the Hits workouts. Why the exercisers in the DVD wear school-girl theatre costumes is beyond me. Perhaps it is to try and contribute to the relaxed atmosphere that Tamilee creates with her attitude; but really they look a bit out of place for a workout. I personally prefer a streamlined appearance to the exercisers in my workouts - something that the producers of Denise Austin's recent DVDs have done very well. (Personal Training System, Blast Away the Pounds, Burn Fat Fast and Power Zone: The Ultimate Metabolism Boosting Workout).

The other thing I'm not too impressed about is the 4min Natural Journeys advert that precedes the workout. There is no way to skip over or fast-forward this advert, and is quite frustrating. If you have any of Natural Journey's more recent DVDs - like Sara Ivanhoe's 20min Yoga Makeovers or Rainbeau Mars's Yoga For Beauty series - they have changed the prdocution so that you can fast forward through this advert. It is a shame that it is not possible on this DVD though.

A lot of reviewers have complained that they have yet to find any cardio by Tamilee that matches the toning workouts from 'I want that body'. They might be interested to know that on each of the Fit to the Hits DVDs, there is a bonus cardio workout from the 'I want that body' series. On Rock Hard Assets, there is a Cardio 2 Segment from 'I want that body'; and yet Tamilee does primarily toning movements with one set of weights and a chair, she does them at such pace that it mimics cardio and elevates your heart rate. This workout is 15mins long, as per the other workouts from the 'I want that body' series.

Summary:

- Fun dancy cardio; steps not too difficult

- Good cueing

- Occasional breaks out into song, bad clothes

- Good extras

- Good music!

I had so much fun with this video. I am a bellydancer and this video is great for dancers. If you are not a dancer, watch it a few times to get familer with it. Anyone can have fun with it and burn some calories! I highly recommend it and it was the most fun I have had with a workout video. I plan to buy more of Tamilee's workouts.

This is a fun workout if you're not in the mood to workout; it gets you up and moving and Webb's authentic enthusiasm is always refreshing to get revivified by. Her dance workouts are a lot easier than her (really difficult) 'I Want Those' and 'Ten-Minute' series which are seriously excellent, but they're exactly what you want when you're not that motivated to start or you're in a bad mood or just not feeling like going out. Pop this or her other dance (rock classics) one in the player and half hour later you feel excited to hit the town and party! She boosts your confidence because she and her girlfriends dancing in the video don't give a hoot what anyone thinks about them and seem to be truly enjoying and expressing themselves. It's funny when she tells you (the camera) that nobody is watching you so you might as well break loose, and you realize she's right and you might as well! Inspirational!
