Description:
Who said exercise has to be like work? This is a workout for people who want to have fun! Paula Abdul brings you the best of her own unique style in this dance-packed cardio workout, followed by lower body toning and a dancer’s stretch. Count on it, you’ll break a sweat, AND, you’ll get in shape. The cardio segment is taught dance-class style, a segment at a time, then you’ll put it all together at the end. Paula teaches each routine slowly, then speeds it up to tempo. Paula’s style of dance – classy yet funky and 'edgy' choreography – looks challenging, yet the basic steps are simple. She makes the transitions between steps so smooth, you’ll be into the next move without even knowing how you got there. Plus, if you’re a 'footwatcher,' you’ll have the advantage of watching the steps in reverse, with Paula facing the same direction as you learn. In the lower body toning segment, be ready for some classic dance-inspired exercises to tone and define your thighs, buttocks and calves. These exercises are moves that dancers use as part of their core training.

Rating:  - Couldn't do it
Okay so I think if a certain routine on a DVD requires the person buying it to have a specific item (let's say hand weights or a floor mat), that would be clearly advertised, right? Nope. I bought this because I always loved Paula Abdul's dance routines from the 80's and thought it would be fun. I put the DVD in only to be told I had to do the workouts on a hard floor. Um wow, could you not have mentioned that somewhere in the description? I have carpet in my den which is the only room with ... Read More
Rating:  - You'll need room and prior dance experience. Very fun.
This is a dance tape, not really an instruction tape. It begins with some standard aerobics moves that take a lot of room. It then moves to more dance steps taught a little more slowly. It's not staying in my collection for three reasons: 1.) It's impossible to do these routines unless you have a clear eight by ten space. You can't do this in the space where you might do a step workout, yoga or pilates. 2.) This is a relatively difficult set of dance steps. (Which might be a positive, not ... Read More
Rating: - One of the Best Workout Videos I've Done
I've had this video for about a year and I work out to it very frequently. The reason? The steps are fun, Paula's energy is infectious and the routine at the end is really fun. It's an awesome way to get your heart rate going and burn fat. I have every type of workout video that there is. Some are too simple in the way that they wouldn't burn enough calories to be worth your time. Others are so hard you dread doing them. Paula is just right.
Rating: - Did not play
This DVD did not play on my Macintosh. I'd give it zero stars if I could.
Rating: - Great fun, great workout
It took a while to learn the moves -- this is definitely the most choreographed exercise video I've done. After two or three shots at it, it started falling into place. The moves are funky and pretty demanding when they've built to a full routine, and Abdul is really professional and smooth in her delivery. Her dancers were also very good. They could even follow her directions, which were totally useless. She'd say we're doing a step left, step right and it would turn out to be a complex combination ... Read More
