Challenging steps, good workout, bad music July 17, 2007
filledeville (NY, NY)
This dvd is definitely not for beginners, which was a pleasant surprise for me since I have some dance experience and all of the other dance/hip hop dvds I have are too easy so you get bored quickly. I like that she doesn't spend too much time explaining the moves so that your heartrate doesn't go down. If you need more instruction, you can go to the section at the end where she explains each move slowly without music. br / br /The production value is pretty mediocre. The sound on my copy actually comes in and out. Sometimes there is music, but no voice and sometimes it is the reverse - strange. Also, the music really, really sucks -- which is a big reason why I don't do the video often. I mean, all of the dance exercise dvds have boring beat track music (I assume because they can't get the rights to real hip hop music?), but this is particularly bad. The set is also not appealing with a multi-colored curtain that looks like it came from a hot air balloon behind the dancers. Then there are the dancers -- I think she chose them to make herself look good. Not that they don't know the moves, but they have no style and are definitely not dancers you would want to emulate. They also have these cheesy smiles on their faces the whole time. br / br /Overall I gave it 3 stars because it is a good workout and the moves are challenging.
Had potential, but needs more explanation of steps July 9, 2007

This is the same review of her Dance with Lisa - Cardio Dance Core Made Simple (this is the same, just renamed/re-released) from June 29, 2006: br / br /This DVD only has options for play chapter selections. Lisa is a great dancer in great shape, cues well right before you do the move, but needs to explain a bit more. The music is parts of hip hop songs, mostly beats, but some singing, it's not bad. br /Warmup: she starts right in with easy or somewhat easy dance moves for 7 min that will get your heart rate going just with that. There's a lot of repetitions, but they were pretty great moves, only a few kicks, step/skips. br /Stretch: 5 min, stretches all major muscles including spine, great stretching with some hip bumps br /Dance Routine: 20 min. She choose complicated dance steps that require a lot of large steps, hopping, turns, etc. She shows you 4 counts of a dance move at a time in normal speed 3x then repeats from the beginning of the entire routine as you build. br /Cool down: same as the stretch, other DVDs have done this: same warm up as cool down. br /At the end, at the 36 min mark is a quick 4 minute long teaching of the steps, only 2x each in 3/4 speed (not much slower) normal speed w/no music in what looks like a living room w/hardwood floors. She only gives you quick cues as she does them, no other explanation. br / br /This is best for those who learn steps easy who don't need a lot of instruction. br / br /There's a trailer at collagevideo com br /

Lisa breaks down the steps, but not clearly. She demonstrates each sequence exactly two times, FAST, then moves on. Perhaps there is a rule that exercise DVDs cannot run over 50 minutes?? Since you'll probably need to review each sequence many times before you get it - NOT the same thing as remembering them on cue, or knowing that a particular sequence will be called something like SIDESTEPJAM! during the actual routine - it would have helped if the DVD chapters consisted of one break-down practice sequence each so you could easily click back . . . 300 times. br / br /Also, Lisa does not account for the mirror effect you get while watching TV - that is, if you plan to mirror her (rotsa ruck!), her right is your left, etc. She may have done better facing a visible mirror with her back facing you, the way you would learn in a dance class. And while it's nice that the finished product is a real routine, inching awkardly toward a video-ready performance over a course of weeks is not the best use of your workout time. Cardio-wise, you get about the equivalent of alternately marching and jumping rope at a low speed, with no toning. If you like good music and a dance-feel to your workout, I would recommend the Turbo Jam DVD series - works right out of the box.

Clearly for people who catches on to moves pretty quickly. If I was that one, probably would be a great workout.

This is not made simple. She goes over the breakdown as if I've been a pro-dancer my whole life. If you don't know hip hop and just want a good cardio workout, go elsewhere. I wish I didn't waste my money.
