4.0 out of 5 stars FITNESS, not dance, July 4 2004

By A Customer

Ce commentaire est de: Bellydance Fitness:Slim Down (VHS Tape)

I've seen a lot of reviews for this as if it is a dance instruction video - it is not. It is a fitness video. Just like it says on the box. With that said, it is a great workout video to get your heart rate up if done properly!

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun but disappointing, April 4 2004

Ce commentaire est de: Bellydance Fitness:Slim Down (VHS Tape)

I bought this video because of the rave videos I read on Amazon.com. So, I was expecting a lot. And I was disappointed. The workout itself was quite fun, the moves were interesting, and I liked the music used. However, I have issues with the voice-over instruction. First of all, the cuing was off and at many times it does not explain many of the moves (i.e. proper form). I'm used to instructors who explain the legwork as well as the arms so you don't have to keep your eyes peeled to the tv screen. Also, the voice-over made me feel like I was watching a performance. Veena and Neena are lovely women, but their smiles seemed to be those of performers, not women who are enjoying a workout. And while I felt like I was working my legs and arms, I didn't really feel like I was getting an cardio workout(and believe me, I put a lot of effort into it). This video is for the easygoing exerciser who wants to have low intensity fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BELLYDANCING SALON, Mar 29 2004

By A Customer

Ce commentaire est de: Bellydance Fitness:Slim Down (VHS Tape)

This slim down video is great, for those who ever did Tae-Bo (we're talking about 10X more intense, yet fun) I work @ a Beauty salon and I told them about this tape. Since i lived down the street I gave them the option of me going to get it THEN. they agreed. I brought it popped into the VCR and men and women with plastic bags, nets, other beauticians couldn't resist merely watching it but insisted on getting up and chimmy. This is sold to at least 20 people. By the way there is not one day that i dont workout to this video and me and my co-workers already see a differance in me (and I"ve visited bellydancer instructors in chicago and none of them have a flabby stomach but more like the britney spears/ J.Lo type body)
