Who doesn't love Lisa Rinna? I still love her from Days of Our Lives and want her body bad! This DVD got me in the mood AND I've already lost SEVEN pounds. I love my new dress size- this is a good one!

I never really used workout DVDs, I didn't really know what to expect, but I absolutely love this workout. Lisa Rinna makes it so much fun, and easy to follow. It breaks down into four basic simple dances: Cha Cha, Jive, Salsa, and Disco. I broke a serious sweat while doing this enjoyable DVD, and helped me practice my dance moves! Lisa Rinna is so adorable and has an amazing body; it just makes you want to move. I highly recommend this DVD.

I wanted to love the CD, I've seen her in person, and Lisa is so motivational. That is why this CD is such a dissapointment. The cuing is bad. Th instructions are frustratimg. She says left, when it's my right. Dance instructions are given for four dances. Lisa isn't in control of the class. She seems to be always looking off to get instruction from some one. Many times the dancers in the back have started a move long before Lisa calls it. The dances are broken into individual segment. It would have been nice if they had put them together to form a workout. You don't do one move long enought to break a sweat or get a good workout. I own dozens of workout tapes. This one is at the bottom of the list

The concept is great -- the dances, and exercise, would be too, except it is very difficult to follow. I have probably owned 50 videos over the years, attended numerous exercise classes, and have a gym membership. Lisa, and all the others are facing you, cuing you to use your right when they are using their right. I have never had instruction where you do not mirror the person who is instructing when they are facing you, and I found it very frustrating to follow. Maybe it's just me being a creature of habit, but I think not.

I loved this DVD. It was fun, challenging, & effective. I have a bodybugg like they wear on the biggest loser. You wear it around your arm & it tracks how many calories you burn. Doing this DVD I always burn 450 calories. I love it. I am 29 years old & I wanted something that would really teach dance moves, be fun, & burn a lot of calories. The hour goes by so quick & nothing else this fun burns that many calories.

Wow, I have to say, I totally love this workout video. Lisa is a great coach and is easy to follow. For the first few days, I had to the routines at a slow pace, but because of Lisa's direction and the split screen that shows her feet, I am able to do the workout at regular speed now and it's only been two weeks! Lisa has an awesome energy level which is inspiring for people like me who are trying to get fit. I saw Lisa on Regis and Kelly yesterday and she's coming out with more DVD's! I can't wait to get the next one.

I know dancing is the new craze - but this is no fad. I love anything with dance infusion; this is one of my favorite fitness DVD. Very Flashdance meets DWTS. The biggest perk was how much it improved my posture - no joke.

This is the first time I've ever shared my opinion. This DVD is terrible. I love Dancing with the Stars and was so excited when I heard Lisa was doing a workout video. The moves and music don't work together. Lisa's cues are poor and the simple steps quickly lose their way.
I am sad of the poor quality and returning the DVD today.

I was extremely disappointed. As a DWTS performer Lisa should have known to mirror her moves when teaching. The camera angles showed her hips when what I needed to see were her feet. I would prefer a constant full frontal or back view so I can follow her. Also the camera showed side views that made no sense. I gave up after trying to follow for a full 40 minutes. Equally discouraging was how the hustle was impossible to learn as presented, as was the Paso. I wondered where the director and producer were when this was being filmed. It seemed the camera person had free reign and was bored, so threw in creative shots that made learning the routines impossible.

I had a hard time following a few dances because the camera seemed to move from feet to torso when she was moving the opposite demonstrations (ie, showing her face when she was doing footwork or showing her feet when she was doing arm work)
