Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Grind Workout: Tai-Funk Aerobics is an odd blend of two very different styles--box aerobics and funk-style dance--but it works. The workout is clearly designed for young exercisers (the heart-rate chart starts at age 15), with the moves demonstrated by a group of boisterously enthusiastic, good-looking, youthful dancers: young women with perfect bare midriffs and buffed young men. First Dimitri Ehrlich leads a slow nai kung warm-up, consisting of kung fu postures that include isometric exercises and stretches. Then Heidi Van Ambergh starts the dance workout by demonstrating a few complex steps of a routine, and in turn, the other dancers each teach a few more steps, stringing them together as they go. The moves are mostly funk, with some self-defense arm work and kicks. Coordination and attitude definitely required! Good production quality, except that the ever-changing camera angles may frustrate you when you're first learning the moves. The workout is hosted by C-Note, a modern rhythm & blues group, who sing a song during the cool down. The video ends with a demonstration of some self-defense moves you can practice and use in time of need. --Joan Price

2.0 out of 5 stars Read This Before Buying, January 10, 2000
By A. Mischler (Sullivan, Indiana) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although the Tai Funk Dance moves are fun to learn, this video is not what it promised. Camera angles make it difficult to learn the dance moves for one thing. Next, once you do manage to learn the routine, they only do the whole routine three times before the video concludes. Most exericse videos, such as Tai Bo, teach the moves individually and then have a 20-30 minute routine encompassing all you've learned. I didn't even work up a sweat doing this workout. Therefore, if your only interested in learning some new dance moves, then purchas this video. If you are actually wanting to exercise, purchase Tai Bo.

2.0 out of 5 stars Worse than it looks, February 21, 2000
By "jhtatroe" (Colorado) - See all my reviews
I bought this workout because it was one of first dance-aerobic routines available on DVD. It looked fun and intense. From MTV, I expected something very up-to-date with good moves and better-than-average music.

It wasn't as good as it looked. Strange camera angles make it difficult to learn the moves. Often, the camera cuts away to an info screen and there's not enough verbal instruction to keep up without any visual input.

Some of the instructors were quite good, giving clear explanations of how to get the most out of the steps they were teaching. However, many of the moves were taught by CNote members who, while fun to watch, obviously didn't really know what they were doing.

I would have expected the workout to be a bit more intense than it was, but with practice it's probably possible to funk up the moves enough to make it worthwhile. Overall, the DVD may be a worthwhile investment for CNote fans, but probably not as a fitness tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, Fun Workout with an awesome view!, October 28, 1999
By A Customer
I completely love this workout...not only does it allow you to dance and get your heartrate going, but it is not boring...C-Note totally gets you pumped and I have to say that the cool down serenade is worth working out for... The self defense techniques at the end are a great bonus. I have to say that having cnote there throughot the whole workout is a great reason to do it every day.
