10 Minute Solution: Hip Hop Dance Mix

It just was not for me too fast for me

Was looking for quick exercise programs to use in bits of time whenever convenient for me. I was actually looking for 30 minute shows but came across this one and decided to give it a shot. I really like that I can either do 10 minutes or I can do more...just by moving on to the next. I'm looking to get back into shape and I need something fun or I'm done. I use to go to the gym and enjoyed it , but I'm not enjoying it at this point. So I thought if I could get a few dance workouts it might pick me up and get me where I need to go and get some motivation moving. So the 10 minute solution is actually fun! I definitely am not a dancer and that's okay she just walks you through it. I liked that it was fun and I was sweating. I will say I did get a good laugh at myself trying these and my kids had a good laugh watching me!!! I couldn't get them to do it with me, but maybe at some point they will:)

I've exercised to the Hip Hop dance mix several times now. I enjoy the change up from regular workouts, but my work out often takes about 30 minutes. I was not gifted with quickly learning dance steps. For me, it takes repetition and time to play the move out in my mind. I find myself watching the steps, performing the steps, stopping the DVD and repeating the steps until I fully understand them. Once I get to that point, I rewind and start over from the beginning of the step. I definitely get a better workout since I'm not talented in picking up the dance steps quickly.Pros: - good workout - easy to execute steps - fun in that it is a different way to work outCons: - None - other than I'm not a quick learner of dance steps

Yes, I'll admit that I'm being careful with certain "slides" and other moves because I have carpet. However, I think this is at least worthy of four stars just for Kristin's energy and personality alone. (I like the fact that she speaks loudly and clearly with a genuine non-stop smile.) I'm really enjoying the video and I've only used two of the workouts so far. I use videos like this one primarily for good warm-ups for my kettlebell routines, not for my heavy cardio days. That said, the music and moves are fantastic and her cuing is spot on. She makes me want to go out and dance, which I haven't done in years :-); the fun factor is extremely high. She did a great job and I look forward to using this one again and again.

This CD has 5 - 10 minute workouts to choose from. All of them are fun, what I would call low impact, and you can tell you are working muscles! I am 40+ and love the hip-hop theme. I have been doing 2 workouts back to back for 3 weeks and I am seeing results. I must say that the moves are sasy to do when she is showing them to you, but I know I look ridiculas when she brings the moves up to speed. After doing them a few times however it gets better, and my family has quit laughing at me. Haven't tried my moves out in a club yet but my daughter-in law says I'm almost ready!

This video is a blast. It's the first exercise video I've ever looked forward to doing each day, and that I sincerely have fun with. The moves in each segment might seem complicated the first time through, but each step builds on the one before. I'm fortunate that I'm good with patterns, so to me it was easy to pick up.The music is very basic - just simple hip hop beats that repeat through each segment. The music is different for each segment, and it fits well with the moves. It's nothing special, but it doesn't bother me.Also, I'm not likely to bust many of these moves out in a club. For me it's just about having fun moving around and burning some calories. :)If you have restricted movement, this is probably not the best choice, as you'll be jumping around and moving every part of yourself. If you're looking for something that has an element of dance and engages your whole body, this is a good option.

As with any dance workout, it will take a couple of times to get these routines down. The first time I did it, I was lost. Then the second and third times - I had no problem following along. Also, dance workouts (or any workout really) gives back what you put in. You really need to get down to pant and sweat to these.I agree with the person who said the knees take a hit on this type of workout, but it's so worth it. I just wear a brace and make sure I'm landing lightly and moving correctly

Let me start by saying that my fitness level is a negative three. I became quite obese during years of being disabled and am now in the process of losing the weight. I found these workouts to be pretty low impact and easy to complete. The instructor explains the moves clearly and doesn't overwhelm non-dancers with technical terms. Do a couple of workouts and your heart rate will go up and you'll even manage to break a sweat. The problem for me is that I was bored to death. I chose a dance workout DVD because I wanted to be engaged and have fun as motivation to actually DO the exercise. Even though the instructor has plenty of energy without being chirpy or annoying, I never connected with her, the music or the routines. This DVD is okay but it won't be in heavy rotation in my workout schedule.

I have several of these DVDs but this woman’s voice is very grating, it isn’t explained well and highly unlikeabke.

Love it

This DVD is very advanced, and at times difficult to follow, but that is the challenge, to enable you to gradually improve your fitness.

real cool way to exercise. The girl in it makes the hip hop moves be easy to learn. Great workout, and fun!

Feel the work out routine all over and not hard to do, makes it seem alot shorter by splitting the sessions into ten minutes!
