Shape - Cardio Workout (DVD, 2005)

I have been using the Firm & Women's Health exercise dvd's which I can follow. Shape's seem a little tough on the knee's & hard to follow dance moves, and no "beginner" instructor to follow. It didn't have fun dance moves, either. I will have to try it a few more times, maybe I am too old - 48 years. Maybe better for the 20's - 30's crowd!!!!!!!!!!! I

I bought this because I wanted a simple cardio work-out, rather than resistence toning like the pilates I already worked out to. I love the fact that there are 5 different workouts you can mix and match to fit your mood and what you want. This is great!
My only trouble with it is that they move from one new step to the next with little teaching of the step and little warning. It is assumed you already know the dance steps they use. If you don't, then you'll have to work out with this 4 or 5 times (at least) before you can keep up with them. The good thing about that is that once you're on top of it and used to all the moves, you don't have to slow your pace for explanations meant for learners.
All in all, this is a great workout with a lot of flexibility for your personal level. I recommend it.

This workout is fun, but it is not as much cardio as I had hoped. I'm sure you can make it higher intensity, but while I am learning the dance moves (I've only done this dvd once.), it is hard to get as much cardio as I would like. It does have several different kinds of dance, and I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys dancing!

Easy to follow workout dvd. Excersises are well though out slowly showing the viewer how to correctly do the excersise and then the routines are made to bring you from any fitness level up to strength.

Overall a great excersise DVD. Dvdmagnet
