10 Minute Solution: Dance It Off & Tone It Up (With Fitness Band)

Fun and energetic, yet sometimes too hard choreography :-l
Jennifer is so upbeat and a great dancer. She is great at all the movements, but I didn't feel there was quite enough instruction to help pick up the choreography. There is a fair bit of repetition, so in time you'll pick up the steps but it's a little frustrating when you are a co-ordinated person already yet can't do all the moves.
The second segment I found to be the toughest. It's done to 60's style music with 60's style moves and they go way too fast. If however you can get them, you will burn heaps of calories. The abs section is all standing and it's got to be performed as well as you possibly can in order to feel the burn. I didn't think it was as good for my abs as floor work.
Overall, I do like this dvd because you don't need heaps of time on your hands to fit in some sort of exercise, but you need a fair bit of practice to perfect this and I'd really only use this workout as extra to what I already do or on days when I've only got 10-20 minutes to spare.

Had to give it a second try...and a third....
I will admit, the first time I put this video in, I stopped halfway through the first workout, skipped to another, and then completely quit. The second time, I had a little more luck. Lets just say, by the 3rd time, I was determined that I was going to get through this.

I originally thought that the dance moves were far too complicated, and the instructor far too bubbly (in fact, I kind of wanted to knock her out).

Once I finally got used to her and the moves, I realized that it's actually a pretty good cardio video, given that I abhor cardio. I wouldn't say that it necessarily tones anything up (seriously, that stomach/hip/shoulders roll, who can do that??), but it does make you break a sweat and at least get your metabolism going.

I always do the entire DVD so that I feel like I've got my cardio in, and now that I've finally gotten accustomed to the aspects and dance steps, I really like the DVD. Definitely couple it with some sort of target...

Quick workout, complicated steps
I love the 10 minute solutions series so I was very excited to do the dance one but the choreograhy was very difficult. Because the work out is only 10 min, the instructor went through everything very quickly. I had to keep rewinding trying to learn the steps. Needless to say I have only used this once or twice and have not gone back to it. I was very disappointed.
