The Ultimate Dance Workout includes music from Jennifer Lopez, Jessie J, Rihanna, Roll Deep, Cheryl Cole, Nicole Scherzinger and many more.
When the DVD starts up there are four options,Play intro, Play Workout, Create your own workout and behind the scenes.

I pressed the Play Workout which had two options to choose to play with the instructions or music. Both versions have the same music but in the option with instructions the instructor tells you what to do and when to do it, I would suggest doing this for a while until you get to know the routine.

The warm Up session is pretty easy just stretching your muscles really, but its so much fun as it to music I listen to a lot.

Next was Ease It In, this was fun as the workout it was like I was doing a dance routine more than exercising, It hurt a little but no pain no gain as they say!

I was however worn out after doing the Ease It In starts to get a little fast and especially as I haven’t done a workout for a long time.

Take It Higher section gets pretty intense but it does have the slower exercises to it too, it goes fast and slow so it makes you sweat which is what proper exercise should do.

The next section was Rock It Out, the first routine was pretty slow and easy, As soon as the second routine started and I LMFAO song Party Rock came on I knew this one was going to be a faster one you really can feel the burn and your heart pumping hard. Your legs just don’t stop at all. This is a real calorie burner.

The third routine again was hard work I had trouble following the routine as with all of them to start but as they do it more than once you get to learn it pretty fast. My heart was still pumping fast at this point my legs didn’t feel like my own but loved the songs which gave me the will to carry on.

Dance Dance Dance was next, I think this was more intense but that may have been because I had been doing the DVD for about 35 minutes by then. My arms and shoulders were starting to ache. You really do feel the burn. the second routine did seem to be all in the arms but it is designed to tone the arms.

With the Grab Your Mat section, I didn’t actually do as I don’t have a mat yet but I will definitely be getting one. The only real thing I think I will have difficulty on this one is the press ups as I am useless at them.

Feel The Burn, well I thought I had already felt the burn but apparently not. This is a toning section and boy did I feel the burn in the top of the thighs, in my calves as well as my abdomen and arms. My heart was pumping like mad too.

There was another Grab Your Mat section which is an intense abs and butt workout. Which again I don’t have a mat to do it yet. This is a particular section that I am interesting so even more reason to get the mat and try my best to sort my abs and butt out.

Finally the Cool Down section this is a slow section what I’d call a warm down, slow stretches, slow breathing and getting your heart rate down for a few minutes.

The DVD made me pretty ashamed of myself really as I used to love doing things like this, I felt so worn out and ached so much the next day so I gave myself a day off, and then tried it again the day after that and it did seem easier the more times I did it.

One thing I would recommend is a bottle of water near you. Its thirsty work you know! and also if you are feeling really worn out take a break for 5-10 minutes and go back to it.

I’m not going to lie, It is hard work but its an exercise/fitness DVD and I didn’t expect anything less.
The music on the DVD during the workout sections was fantastic, There wasn’t one song I disliked on it and I really think it helps having good music to exercise to.

I would recommend this to anyone that is wanting to lose a few pounds, loves exercise and music.
