 great video June 1, 2009

Madonna Grimes is awesome! She breaks things down enough that it's possible to follow (if you're quick at picking up dance moves), but not so slow as to lose momentum, or stop moving, ever. It's not a high intensity workout, but it's a great one for a light cardio day, or for people who need lower impact due to injuries, and the 10 minute "bonus workout" is a nice add on & great for legs & abs.
Fun, too. Unlike most dance workout videos that claim you can take the moves to the the clubs, I actually wouldn't feel like an idiot doing some of these moves in public.
Madonna also seems like a real person, who actually teaches dance, rather than some of the dance video instructors who talk constantly and are WAY too perky. The video also has a feature where if you don't want to listen to her, you can go through the workout with just music & no narration. I haven't reached that point yet, but I appreciate the option for later.
Great Workout! May 21, 2009

I love this video! Its a great workout for a beginner or intermediate. Madonna Grimes is funny and down to earth. She explains the moves well and breaks the workout down into sections. I cannot dance and I dont think I'd do any of these moves in public but its fun and the time flies! It has an extra bonus 10 min. workout at the end that I always do. I have another video with some other lady and its boring and I dont break a sweat. Not to mention shes annoying.... Not only am I sweating after Madonna Grimes video...Im red in the face! I am really happy with this video and have bought four more of hers. The only reason I could see someone being unhappy with this video is if they expected to learn to dance...The moves arent exactly current or good looking when put together but thats not the point of the video...Just the fact that youre dancing instead of doing boring reps of sqwats makes it fun.

I've had this workout for about two years and it's still one of my favorites! So much fun that I've actually done it twice in a row some days. Madonna and her crew are really laid back, they joke and laugh throughout the workout which is such a nice change from a lot of those stiff, cookie-cutter dance workouts. It's like hanging around the house and having a dance party with your friends.
When I first started doing this workout, I found myself breathless within the first five minutes (which was still the warmup). But since I've had this for so long and have moved on to harder workouts, I do find that I have to exaggerate the moves some times to get that heart rate up a little more, so decidedly it's very good to keep around for those "light" days or when I just want to loosen up a bit. But when I get going, man, I just never want to stop! Definitely a great workout.

Bought this for my 16 year old daughter who wanted to learn dance moves while exercising. We have fun doing it together.
