Amazing!!

Review Date: March 1, 2010

Reviewer: N. Mcgowan,

I decided I needed to tone up, and having not exercised for a years and I have asthma so I found this workout demanding, the routine is very good as the variations and quick changes destract you from what you are doing and I didnt give up reaching for the chocolate! The dance workout feels quite tiring, then it moves into salsa which is a nice break that you can really feel on your waist! Then it goes into high energy, I think my jaw dropped the first time, it was intense, but the kind of exercise you'd never push yourself to do at the gym! The bums and tums bit felt like just enough, and the 'plank' is awful the first time, but works the core tummy muscles so you wont end up with a chunky waist! Afterwards I felt refreshed, my appetite had disappeared, I havent been too achy since.
I did it twice last week with a heart rate monitor and found I lost 350 calories, doesnt sound a lot but im not overweight, im tall, 149lbs size 10/12, so I dont expect to lose a lot! I have noticed my waist is looking really toned already! Im very excited to get a dancers tummy for the summer!!!

Just Can't Beat It!

I've had this workout DVD for about 18 months now and as hard as I try to find another workout dvd to add a bit of variety to my exercise I just cannot find any that compare to this. I am in totally devoted to it. It used to kill me. And if I dare have time away from it, it makes me suffer when I come back to it. But I love it. Its so easy to follow and unlike other dance workouts I have tried its not all about learning a dance routine, its just pure and simple aerobics set to dance music, with a nice bit of a latin wiggle every now and again. As a dancer, I would recommend just going to a dance class if you want to learn a routine, all the stopping and starting to learn moves just isn't constructive to an intense workout, this one just gets your heart pumping and repeats the moves in a structured way so that after a few times you know whats coming next and can keep up as if you were in the video with them.
I must admit that when I first bought it I was worried it was just going to be for all those pervy men that love the 'Call On Me' video but apart from the outfits and some similar moves it really is just an aerobic workout. And if anything as a woman I quite like them in their skimpy clothes because it drives me on to work my arse off so that some day I can maybe wear those skimpy clothes with confidence too.
The first time you try it you will sweat, and I'll admit I still don't do the whole routine... I generally miss out the dance section, but having just come back to it I have finally stopped glowing like a beetroot after each attempt but I still sweat my little a**e off and feel like I have really worked out.
I love it, and as hard as I've tried I just can't find any that live up to this!

Workouts can be fun....

It will take nothing short of a miracle to make me look like any of the stunning toned super-fit ultra-gorgeous women in this vid but if anything is likely to inspire me to damn well try, it's watching them gyrate their tiny hips and eensy-weensy waists and fat-free (and beautifully tanned, incidentally) limbs to a succession of motivating (if occasionally cheesy) dance tunes. The bloke in the background cracks me up, some might say he has the best job in the world. Yes, he does. No argument. But out of the lot of 'em he's the one that works up the biggest sweat! Wonder why. He sometimes grunts "ooh yeah", which is slightly quasi-pornographic, but kinda adds to the whole "sexy smiley" vibe. I know for sure if I do this every day or even a couple of times a week (oh and cut down on chocolate, crisps and booze, maybe), I won't be afraid to put on a leotard and do some side-lunges and pelvic thrusts in full public view. If you are seriously out of shape (a la moi), it might be best to just sit on the sofa (with a tube of Pringles and a family size bar of Galaxy) and just watch it once all the way through. Watching it will be more than enough to exhaust you at first. Once you have recovered from the feeling of total and complete inferiority, you'll really want to give it a go yourself. I've just got a couple more squares of choc to go and then off I go! I can't wait. Ooh yeah!

An excellent aerobics workout... buy it!!!!

Reviewer: precor_15,

In 2007, I was 30 lbs overweight so I decided I would like to get an aerobics DVD with maybe a dance slant, so I checked out Amazon, and to my amazement I saw Pump It Up with the outrageously scantily-clad girls, who I knew from the Call On Me video. I thought it couldn't possibly be any good and had to be for perverts, until I read the 80 or so reviews which were really glowing so I felt like I had to try it... The only bad reviews were from people who were jealous of the girls' bodies!!! :)

When it arrived I went out and bought a sports bra and a pair of teeny shorts and did the DVD in front of the mirror. It was awful, but it gave me a real incentive to try to look like the girls on the DVD. I tried just the warm up section and I nearly died from exhaustion. I couldn't believe I was so unfit... I managed the warm up, dance, and the cool down sections, although I could barely move by the end and I was an uncoordinated mess and felt really stupid. The muscle pains the next day were incredible. When I could move properly again :) I tried it again and it was better. Then I tried again and again and again over the next few weeks, and then I could do the entire DVD from start to finish- absolutely exhausted after it, of course! After just three weeks of trying, I could see a definite physical change in my body, seriously! Getting fitter also prompted me to make sure my diet was healthy and to be more watchful over the calories too... In the first few months after I got this DVD (between Aug 2007 and Dec 2007) I lost the 30 lbs and my waist went from being 33 inches to 28 inches!!!! Success!!!

My advice to anyone who is like I was, is to keep trying, because you WILL get there. I ALWAYS do the warm up and cool down because the stretches really help with the muscle pains. Deanne Berry is a very nice instructor, and the other people are really fun to watch throughout. It is really good for fitness but it is hard- so start slowly like I did and don't lose faith! I also bought Deanne Berry's Pump It Up: Burn It, Lose It, which is also a brilliant DVD and I think it's a great toner for the legs and abs. I also have her Clubland Work It Out, which is SO much fun (DanceMania is SUCH a laugh and it feels great to do!). I'm getting the next Clubland one asap...

I highly recommend all of her stuff, but this DVD is a great place to start!!! I LOVE IT!!!

Love it!

I am a bit of an exercise dvd junkie and own a fairly large amount, but this dvd is amazing. The first time I did it, I was a bit lost as the instructor doesn't introduce the new moves, she just does them and you have to catch on, but after a couple of times of completion you generally pick them up. The first 3 sections are are fairly high paced and energetic which is great as it makes you feel like you are completing a good work out, and due to the fast pace of it all, it does not feel like you are exercising for that long at all. I still am astonished when the chill out section appears on my screen!

I have only done it a few times so can not comment on the outcomes on my body, although the bums anf tums section did leave me in slight pain the next day! All in all, great dvd and great price!
