Rating: Summary: paula abdoul video Review: I bought this video used from someone on this website. I wanted to get into this, cause it looked like fun. Well, believe what everyone says about it! It is hard. If I can do it enough times to get the moves down, it will be a good work out. The problem with it is that she acts like the people doing it at home are trained professional dancers. She doesn't break the moves down enough, or allow you to practice it and really understand what you are doing. If you are a dancer, and understand dance jargon, you will do well, if not, I don't recommend it.
Rating: Summary: I feel Great! Review: This is a great work out,for anyone who likes to dance. I don't think you need to be an experienced dancer, just pacient. When I tried the tape for the first time, I viewed and exercised at the same time. That's the great thing about this video, Paula starts you nice and slow at first, and then after a couple of times she'd move into tempo! I did the work out at my own pace for the first two weeks and by the third I knew all of the steps by heart and the right way to do them. Also the 15min. of body toning in the end are definetly helpfull, I saw a change in my body after the third week. The only down fall I would have to say is that I wish she had more dance work out videos, to alternate my weekly routine. Over all this is the only work out video that has definetly been worth my money!
Rating: Summary: Very short workout Review: This is ok. The music is alright. The best thing about the workout is the ten minutes of leg toning at the end. The moves are cute but once you learn them the workout becomes monotonous and boring.
Rating: Summary: For an intermediate student of dance Review: I bought this for my self and daughter and this is not a dvd which is easy to follow unless you are already familiar with the grape vine steps, box step, mambo, or military steps you'll find it challenging and must be willing to play this section over and over until you get it down. Also , she give you no step by step instructions to get you up to speed. I feel we will have to start our workout education with a different instructor on an other dvd before we're ready for this . Another note ,start with the cool down and stretch out first!
Rating: Summary: Broke a sweat and had fun! Review: So Paula isn't the most peppy instructor but she's an awsome choreographer. Yes, the moves are NOT for beginners but if you have a little dance experience, some patience and you relax and let go you will notice the steps flow together easily. The warm up was great and it has authentic dancer toning (plies) and stretching! If you also watch the background dancers they are not only eye candy but they are individuals who give you ideas on how to spice up and vary the routine a little.
Rating: Summary: Paula makes us fashionably fit! Review: Pop sensation Paula Abdul (who has six No. 1 singles to her credit) hosts this inventive exercise DVD, brought to us by the good folks at Anchor Bay Entertainment.Paula teaches us multiple dance routines, and they range from easy to moderately difficult. Some moves will provoke fond memories of her hit music videos such as "Opposites Attract", while others are fresh and cutting edge. Some moves may be a little difficult to pick up in the first few segments, but then she slows it down, takes you by the hand and guides you through them like a pro. The DVD also features a five-minute behind the scenes segment of her photo shoot, an intruction only audio track, and a music only audio track. I'm looking forward to her next workout video and if it is anywhere near as good as this and her 1995 "Shut Up and Dance" video, we are going to be in for quite a treat!
Rating: Summary: Not For Beginners Review: This tape is not for beginners who are starting a weight loss program. Although all of Paula's moves are dance moves, I did not think they were easy to pick up. It is a great tape for people who are really in good physical shape. The background was great, Paula and her dancers were great, and the music was great, but it is not a good tape for those who have finally gain the energy, willpower, and courage to loss weight.
Rating: Summary: Fun to do..and you still get a workout! Review: Great dance moves, great backgound music, and I loved that extra small screen at the lower part of the TV showing the foot moves (as if Paula was in front of you in person) As a non dancer who has two left feet, I actually learned the moves(and do them quite well now. I will not lie, it took me about a week to learn the moves. I already had Paula'a first Dance tape learned, so I used that one to excercise when learning this one. ...Anyway it's also great fun and you feel the burn!! Disadvantage: You do need a large space to do this tape.
Rating: Summary: Fun dance moves, but takes up too much space in the house Review: I was a little disappointed with this video, because they do not tell you on the cover how much room you are going to need to do it! In my living room, it's just not practical. It seems like it'd be fun if there were room to really get into the workout. For now I'll stick to Denise Austin.
Rating: Summary: Did not like Review: I've been doing dancing for years, yet did not care for this video. I found it too hard to follow. Also, you need alot of space to workout.
