Summary: Fun Aerobic Workout
Comment: This is a fun dance workout that also gives you a great aerobic workout. I have tried a few dance workouts in the past, but have found the moves overly complicated and the workout not that great. This dvd, on the other hand, is a blast. The moves are fairly easy, especially if you have done other firm aerobic tapes in the past. After working out with the dvd, I feel that I've gotten a great workout!
The tape breaks down as:
10 minute warm-up -- this is the hip-hop section
10 minute low impact -- this is the latin section, which is also a great workout for the abs
10 minute high-impact -- this is the swing/jive section, which is a great cardio workout
10 minute cool-down -- this is a ballet inspired section that gives you a great leg workout.
5 minute stretch -- this combines stretching with some balancing moves
There is also the option of 3 - 25 minute express workouts. These combine one of the first three workouts (hip-hop, latin, or jive) with the ballet workout and stretch. I really enjoy this workout and highly recommend it.

Summary: tough first time
Comment: this is a video that definitely requires some form of coordination and base level fitness. the moves are quite difficult to follow and move quickly from one to another leaving you in the dust if you haven't gotten it the first time. i would recommend this for people who are used to aerobics dvds in general and are fairly fit and want to shape up as opposed to someone really starting out.

Summary: Very poor cues
Comment: I have been doing a LOT of workout dvds since January 7th. I have a great variety - everything from old school aerobics, to disco, hiphop, latin, even go-go dancing. I pick up on things very quickly. I bought this one from The Firm, first of all because I really like another video from them - Ultimate Fat Burning Solution. That video is AWESOME and really kicks my butt at the workout. Allison also teaches that one and she does a great job breaking down the steps before going full tilt. NOT on this video though. Poor, poor job of giving you cues and she doesn't slow down ANY of the steps in here. I had a tough time with a lot of steps and it was very frustrating. Like I stated before, I usually never have a problem, but did with this. It was still an effective workout, but like another poster, I substituted some of the steps because I couldn't get down the move. I'm sure I'll finally figure it out after doing it a few times, but this is the first time I've encountered this since I've been working out. Disappointing considering The Firm and Allison. I expected better.

Summary: A Fun Calorie Burn
Comment: For those of you who weren't impressed or challenged with Cardio Dance Slim Down, try this one. It's much more difficult and fun, with better music. Alison goes fast, but she repeats the most difficult moves 3 or 4 times before adding on so you can catch on. Just be patient with yourself and keep moving; you'll thank her later.

Summary: A little difficult, not much of a workout
Comment: I was really excited when i read the reviews. I always thought that these dancy type workouts never really gave you a workout. But i decided to purchase this DVD anyways since everyone gave such good marks. Unfortunately my original instinct was right. The difficult steps didn't really bother me because i was able to pick them up after a couple of times, but i just didn't feel like i got this great workout when i was done. I didn't really sweat or get my heart rate up much. It's too bad, because i really like Allison and her DVD's.
