I am absolutely loving this DVD. I have no dance experience and found it difficult to keep up at first, but 3 weeks in using it almost every day, I'm getting there. I love it because it's fun! Even if you aren't hitting every move every time exactly right, you will still sweat, you will still get your heart going, and the more you do it, the better you get and the more fun it is. I also love that there are 4 separate routines, each roughly 20 minutes (they range 18-24), so I can find time to squeeze in at least one routine most days, and, more often, 2 or 3. The DVD also has an option where you can set it to play the routines in the order of your choosing so you don't have to monkey with it between routines. It's fun, it keeps me mentally engaged trying to learn it, and you're so busy dancing you don't notice you're actually getting a solid workout (until after, when you feel it). In 3 weeks I've lost inches off my waist, hips, thighs, arms, calves, and even my face looks smaller. Highly highly recommend. If you are a beginner, like me, you have to be willing to look a little dumb until you figure it out, but smiling helps you breathe, so just roll with it! I also love that it doesn't require any extra equipment at all and not much space. Read more
I was doing Blogilates for the longest time and I got super bored with it. I've been trying to find a fun workout to do everyday. I had been doing the So You Think You Can Dance cardio workouts and I loved them! So I decided that I'm going to buy a bunch of dance workout DVDs so that my workouts can be fun! I danced for 15 years and I miss it so much! The Step Up Revolution dance workout DVD is exactly what I was looking for. The other dance workouts I had done were fun but not challenging. That is something I would note about this workout. It is a bit challenging, especially if you have no dance experience. BUT, if you have never danced before, this can still work for you. You can always rewind and catch yourself up. I actually did each workout routine twice, just to elongate my workout. The routines are fun and that's what I love about them! Other workouts are so boring and that's why people stop them. With this workout, you can do it like once a week and mix it up with doing the other dance workout DVDs the other days of the week and you'll never want to stop exercising! I LOVE this and would definitely recommend it! Read more
This workout is all cardio. The instructors break down each routine and repeat each new step quite a few times to make sure you're ready to move on (which was appreciated when I first started!). There are four workouts and each are fun. There are a few hiccups - the female instructor forgets to show a move correctly and has to re-teach it (not a huge deal) and when starting a routine the music stops and they have to wait for it. Again, not big things but easily edited out. I'm unsure why they left them in? Anyway, if you like to dance you'll like this! The routines are not incredibly difficult. You won't be ready to appear in Step Up 5 or anything but you'll have fun and sweat! Read more
I was really excited to try this out!! Mostly because I LOVED the movie & the choreography was awesome!!! I enjoy dancing a lot and have pretty good coordination, although I am far from being a professional. I'm latina and dancing is pretty much a requirement when it comes to being a part of the Latin Culture, so I knew I would be able to at least get the basic steps down. I had to pause and rewind some steps a few times, but if you keep going & do it often, you'll be a pro in no time! I love a challenge and enjoy learning new dance moves, so this DVD was perfect for me! I would recommend it to anyone who loves to dance no matter what your age may be :) Read more
Warning* using these moves in public may result in severe mocking:) If you were looking for the choreography moves you saw in the movie, keep your money in your pocket. The fun-sinister liquid to pops n locks are COMPLETELY absent. Then again if you enjoy zumba or bouncing around like a yellow lab puppy, this would be a great workout for you. Read more
I loved the choreos, with this DVD you really dance to get fit. And to really get the dance combos in your body you need to do them twice or more. And because you will be tired (and satisfied) after two of the four combos, you will use the dvd with 4 combos quite a lot in comparison to other (dance) work out DVDs. Definitely a good buy if you love to dance and follow dance classes. Read more
Very fun and great exercise. They go through the moves very fast though and expect you to pause the DVD to repeat the moves yourself. Read more
Thiss is a very fun workout. However, its fast paced and I didnt get the moves fast enough. But for experience this is for intermediate and stronger dancers. Definitely not for begginers, even though they have step by step. Read more
