 Sick of middle-aged workout vids! Sep 20, 2008
I have owned this DVD for a while. I hate doing cardio because it means either boring treadmill or boring videos featuring middle aged women on steps in ugly outfits - or worse the loud obnoxious "fit" man shouting things. This video has none of those things. The absolute best point is really the soundtrack. If you can't stand most workout video music, this one will likely fit your tastes (unless you like death metal, and to my knowledge there is no death metal workout).
It takes a good amount of trial and error to learn the routine - you will not get it the first and possibly even the second go-through. Once you learn it though, it is awesome.

 At least you get pumped Oct 29, 2004
Well, I don't think anyone would disagree that Amy Acuff is wasted time and space on the video. I personally like the music and love the workout. The good thing is no matter how much of an idiot as a beginner one is, there is no way in hell you can be worse than Amy. But the pump is a goody and well worth the $8.00 I am spending to get it.

best workout ever Oct 01, 2004
This is my favorite video ever and I have been doing workout videos for a long time. To get the bad stuff out of the way, yes Amy is a total spazz and the girl behind Alan apparantely thinks it's a cheerleading video instead of kickboxing.
Now to the good stuff. Most of the dancers (male and female) are really hot and the music is fabulous. Even though it's a couple years old now, I started hearing the songs from it at the trendy stores in Atlanta -it makes me want to go home and work out. Once you learn the moves, you cycle through them in a routine, so you're not stuck there doing the same thing for forever like a lot of videos.
You can work at your own level and keep track because they pause in the middle to check your pulse. This is probably the best part because if you're dragging, it let's you know that it's time to pick it up.
It tones your whole body, including muscles I didn't even now I had. If your body starts to get used to it, you can work a little harder, like by doing jump kicks instead of the regular ones or get deeper into your stances.
Fianlly there are some great stretchs at the end.
This is the only video I've been able to do week after week and still see results. Over the year I've been using it, I've lost about 30lbs and I haven't really been trying that hard.
I'm still hoping MTV is going to make another workout video because I can't find another one that compares.

 DON'T EVEN BOTHER Dec 25, 2003
IT'S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET INTO THID WORKOUT. I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I LOVE THE GRIND WORKOUTS, BUT WHAT A DISSAPOINTMENT. FIRST OF ALL THE MUSIC IS HORRIBLE, AND THE CAMERA ANGLES KEEP CHANGING. IT MAKE THE WORKOUT VERY HARD TO FOLLOW CAUSE YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING. ALL AROUND DISAPPOINTMENT
Not worth your money. Dec 11, 2003
I bought this DVD because I thought that MTV could put together a fun and exilarating workout video. But the moves are complicated/awkward and they are hard to follow. They don't give you much time to figure them out. And, you are always doing the reverse of everyone. One thing that was aggrevating was when they change a scene, you are expected to keep moving, but the music changes or dissapears for a few seconds. And sometimes, people in the video move offbeat. The editing is horrible. The camera doesn't stay focused on one "good" person. The guest is flimsy and can't do the moves accurately. She doesn't even look like she's trying. Overall it's a horrible DVD. Don't waste your money.
