Product Description |

Each era has its own defining exercise video--or in this age, DVD. Dancing With the Stars: Cardio Dance isn't going to go down as the 21st century's answer to Jane Fonda's exercise tapes, but it's not a bad way to learn a few basic steps, thanks to instructions from some of the professional dancers from the ABC hit series Dancing With the Stars. Ashly Costa (the brunette who danced up a storm with Harry Hamlin), Kym Johnson (the blonde who almost made a DWTS winner out of Joey Fatone), and Maksim Chmerkovsy (the dude who sparred with Laila Ali on and off the dance floor) make for nice eye candy as they teach viewers how to do the cha-cha, the jive, and the paso doble. Cardio Dance does a good job of showing viewers how to warm their bodies up before getting into the more aerobic dance exercises. Women will probably benefit most from Kym's instructional portion, which focuses on toning the hips and waistline. The patient Australian (who once taught Jerry Springer how to waltz) is relatively easy to follow as she teaches the Brazilian samba. This DVD isn't for the serious dancer. Its target audience is comprised of fans of the show who'd like to get in shape with Ashly, Kym, and Maks. If you already know the basics of dance, you won't have problems keeping up with their instructions. But if you have two left feet, some of the dance terms they toss around (but don't explain) will leave you scratching your head rather than hoofing it up. And while we're not expecting anyone like season-four winner Apolo Anton Ohno to make an appearance here, it would've been nice to include a segment or two with DWTS judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Len Goodman. --Jae-Ha Kim

Dancing With the Stars - Cardio Dance Reviews |
 I just wasted $10.... |
| Review Date: August 10, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Neyen, Puerto Rico |
| This is the most annoying workout ever. I just get so mad at how bad it was made. First of all, they don't teach you the steps, they just start dancing and expect you to follow them. In every dance, they're just improvising, they don't do a rehearsed choreography teaching every step. They just do this and oh! let's do that, and expect that everyone knows how to do the complicated steps. |
The most annoying "work-out"
|
| Review Date: July 31, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Alyssa, USA |
| I love dance workouts, so I thought I'd give this one a try. The female instructors are simply annoying and the male instructor is too flat and boring. The guy I could deal with, but the female instructors were TOO annoying with their overly perky attitudes. I've never seen any exercise instructor that annoying, honestly. Besides the personality problem, the moves in this "work-out" were very boring and didn't do much to raise my heart rate. If you want a workout DVD I suggest you go look elsewhere. There are plenty of other DVDs that do the trick easily and much less annoyingly. |

Fun, but not the best aerobic workout
|
| Review Date: June 18, 2010 |
| Reviewer: V. Zorn, Missouri |
| These workouts were fun to learn, but they are not a good aerobic workout for those that are already in shape. For those beginning a workout reimen-it's a good start though. I was hoping that they would teach a full routine, but they really don't. So, the different moves are fun to learn, and it's fun to try to do with friends, but if you want a serious workout-this isn't it. |
intermediate level fun

| Pretty fun dance workouts, warning not for beginners. If you don't have basic rhythm or learn quickly you will be lost. They move very fast and don't break down any of the steps. That said- I thought it was pretty fun and a great workout for me. |
