The twins know how to give you a good workout while having fun, and the belly dance moves are explained and practiced well. They give you the best and safest workout and some good basics for belly dance. I'm actually losing weight using the Arms & Abs tape using the Slim Down tape at the end. Great way to spend an one and half hours.

I purchased this set because I was interested in varying my fitness routine and was always interested in bellydancing-I figured this would be a great way to combine the two. I do enjoy watching the dancing at the beginning and end of each video and the music is really great. I found the incomplete instruction and lack of transition make the videos hard to follow.

Neena & Veena are performing the exercises but there is another woman narrating and there is no verbal transition from one exercise to the next which makes it hard to follow at first. There is also no real instruction to explain what it is you are supposed to be doing, you just have to figure it out by watching what is going on on your screen. This makes it even harder to follow because you are focusing on what they are doing and not really doing anything yourself. When you are just starting out you may not see any benefit until you really learn the moves.

Great if you don't like the regular exercise stuff. Will work those hips and thighs. Be great if you just had a baby. Get those places back. Most women have trouble with their hips and thighs.

Music is great. I'm a beginner dancer myself. Only do it for home and pleasure.

Their dance at the end of the videos are wonderful. I could watch them all day.

I DON'T REALLY CARE FOR THIS TYPE OF WORKOUT, BUT IT WASN'T TOTALLY UNBEARABLE. THE GIRLS ARE FUN AND SPUNKY, BUT AFTER A FEW TIMES THIS ROUTINE REALLY WORE ON ME.

Neena and Veena bellydancing videos are incredible. Not only does this series help you get into shape, but shows you the beautiful art of bellydance and makes you eager to learn more. The fat burning video in this series is to me, the best cardio video out there. While you are doing the video, you may think, well gee I am just hopping up and down or twisting, but you really work up a sweat in no time. Even now, after I do the video (and I try to do it at least 3-4 times a week), I am really sweaty, feeling energized and never tired. It can be challenging at first, but if you start with the beginner's video of the series first and do that a few times before you start the others, it will come much easier. These videos also incorporate lots of stretching and beginning yoga moves as well. I have seen a dramatic change in my flexability and strength since doing Neena and Veena's workouts. The music can be a little montomous after a while, but the voice over instructor and the warmness the twins portray onscreen gives you some reassurance and confidence while doing the videos. I think the best part of all these videos also is you never feel like you are straight "working out", but expressing yourself through the feminine and beautiful art of bellydancing. I am saving up my money so I can by the next boxed set of Mystic Dance and the other two. I can't wait! Thanks Neena and Veena! :)

I love these videos! The first week I had them, I lost five pounds. They make excercising fun, and they work very well in conjunction with bellydance classes. My teacher has praised my progress, and I attribute that to the videos as well. Get them!

This set was the first set of bellydancing tapes I ever bought, but as soon as I finished the first tape, I knew I was hooked. These workouts are FUN and you can really feel it working, plus they make you feel "sensual" and "sexy!" Sometimes the moves are a little awkward at first, but with practice, you get the hang of them. These tapes teach you some moves that are used in bellydancing, but not really bellydancing itself, so you should not expect that you are going to become an expert bellydancer with these. I try to do two tapes a day, three days a week (I have added some other Veena/Neena & Rania tapes to my collection), and I have been keeping up with this routine for about 9 months, which is the longest I've ever been able to keep up an exercise routine. Three of the tapes, do not offer much in the way of Cardio workouts, but are good for toning. I have lost a little weight, and I probably would have lost more had I tried harder. Overall, these are my favorite exercise tapes. If you are wanting something different than the same old aerobics stuff, give these a try -- you might be surprised.

I hate to do cardio exercises - i'm not a jumping and running kind of gal, and i'm so uncoordinated i usually just start to get the hang of the moves by the time a section is over. But these videos are excellent! Neena and Veena make it look easier than it is, but they explain and demonstrate the moves very well and it's easy to follow. And i especially like the slow speed of the moves starting out, then building up speed gradually - even i can do it!

And most importantly to me, it doesn't "feel" like exercise! I've gotten a good workout, but it's like a dance class. I love these videos!

If you bothered to read the box, it says "Bellydance FITNESS". What did you think that meant? If you wanted just bellydancing you should have bought the "Sensual Art of Bellydance" set instaed of the FITNESS set.

If you legitimately did not like the videos for lack of cardio fitness or just plain didn't like them then this comment is not for you. But you crybabies out there should pay attention to what you're buying next time.

I bought these videos out of curiosity. I always wanted to discover what Belly dancing was about. From my first viewing I was hooked! Their teaching style is perfect for me, slow and with plenty of repetitions. Their moves were so graceful that I wanted to emulate them immediately. I had been a gym rat for as long as I can remember, and could never achieve that "sculpted" tummy look I had always wanted. After six weeks of working out daily with the two begginer tapes, the improvement was remarkable. I now dare to wear cropped tops and low rider jeans without feeling ashamed of my body. I'm 42 and my belly looks better than that of a 18 year old! I now own almost all their videos and continue to exercise and dance with Neena and Veena everyday. Try these products, you will not be dissapointed!
