Zumba Fitness: Latin Dance Workout DVD Review

Retail Price: Varies based on product options
Amazon Price: View Sale Price
I had wanted to try Zumba for the longest time so I bought the Zumba Fitness: Latin Dance Workout Routine DVD. Tried it and it doesn’t feel like you are working out and you get to learn new dance routines! It breaks up the monotony of exercising, so I don’t get bored just going to the gym.

Obviously these DVDs are NOT as good as a live class, but if you want an introduction to a Zumba workout, they are a useful beginning. If you are not used to following movement on a DVD beware that the directions are first given in a different language and then followed by an English translation.

Dance Off the Inches: Hip Hop Party DVD Review

Dance off the Inches: Hip Hop Party
Retail Price: $14.98
Amazon Price: $8.17
The first time I tried the Dance Off the Inches: Hip Hop Party workout, I didn’t like it. I thought the moves were much too complicated and I would never get them down right. That doesn’t mean it’s not doable, but it WILL take you a few workouts to get the choreography, arm movements and flicks.

In the meantime, you should listen to Jennifer (the instructor) and do what you feel rather than worrying about how you look.

Hip Hop Abs DVD Review: Get a Lean Stomach Without Crunches!

Retail Price: Varies based on product options
Amazon Price: View Sale Price
I have many yoga dvds but I needed to do more cardio. For me a good exercise DVD has to have a good instructor, manageable segments, and something fun. Regular aerobic dvds bored me to tears. Then I saw an infomercial for Hip Hop Abs and thought it’d be a good all around workout to get you moving, break a sweat, and have fun at the same time.
