5.0 out of 5 stars So much fun, you forget you're exercising!, August 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hip Hop Body Shop [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is a great way to burn fat and excess calories without really thinking about it. It includes an entire hip-hop dance routine which is taught in a manner which makes it extremely easy to pick up. The enthusiasm of the instructor and accompanying dancers is catching, the music is energizing, and before you know it, your hour of exercise is up! I do this video 3-4 times a week, and I am clearly seeing the results.

3.0 out of 5 stars Music with a beat! Yeah!, November 18, 2002

This review is from: Hip Hop Body Shop [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The dance class veteran who criticized the video over not counting and left versus right doesn't get it- this video is NOT for dance class veterans. It is for people who like street dance. The music is dated, but better than most of the stuff out there masquerading as workout music. THe moves are NOT for beginners. If you have no coordination, don't buy this video.

I disagree with the reviewer who argues it is not a workout. My husband and I (in our 30s) mastered the video in 4 sessions. We also lost weight doing it. It won't build muscle, but it works the abs very well. If you are in good shape already, it may not be the workout for you. It is not for the ballet and Darrin's Dance Grooves crowd.

I have to admit, I like modern neo-soul, new jack swing, hiphop, and 80s r&b (anything from Run DMC to Luther, through Mary J. Blige). Most workouts assume r&b and modern urban music fans will simply go along with the neo-elevator music out there. I applaud anything that ditches the elevator music. At least this music had a beat to it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Five Star Dance, Three Star Music, November 7, 2001

This review is from: Hip Hop Body Shop [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The instructors attire and music were quite dated - making it a little difficult in the beginning to get enthused. However the quality of the dancers and dance routine is great! This video is for the choreographically inclined with dance moves on the moderate level. One extrememly great benefit is that you can add your own style to every move, and the routine will still look great. For those with lots of dance experience, you will learn the routine first time through. EXCELLENT AEROBIC/CARDIOVASCULAR WORKOUT
