 not a dancer Aug 31, 2010
I bought this workout a couple of weeks ago along with the mat workout. I found the cardio dance workout to be too time consuming to learn and am not getting the cardio in because I spend more time watching what she is doing then getting the steps down. I could get them when she was walking through the steps but once she put it to music I was lost after the first couple of steps. Maybe it would be easier if she was facing away and doing the steps. I have tried to do dance #1 for a week straight and still no luck. I have no back ground in dance and now I know I am not very cordinated. I am 38, a runner and weight lifter and am in shape and was hoping for something fun to stay in shape while my herniated disc heals up but I just can't get her steps down. I found myself just hopping around through it to work up a sweat but wasn't doing everything she was. Looking for something that is quicker to learn so I can get my workout in. Might just have to go back to the elliptical. I do enjoy the mat workout and my shoulders and arms really burn through the entire segment.

 Watch Out for the No Return Once Opened Policy! Aug 06, 2010
This Tracy Anderson Method Dance Cardio Workout DVD was horrible, something that a cheerleader could have put together and just as annoying. There is nothing fun about it and the music is awful. Beware when ordering it right from the company website. You are stuck with anything you buy once you open it, and of course that is not posted anywhere to warn you.

Impossible to follow Aug 06, 2010
I cannot comment on the effectiveness of this dance routine as it is simply impossible to follow them. Waste of money.

It's okay...not realistic for everybody Jul 31, 2010
This workout is doable given the time and energy. It does take some effort to dance to her choreography, but that is not the greatest challenge this video poses. The movements are very hard on the knees, even for someone within the healthy weight range. Maybe not for a teenager, but for women in their thirties and maybe even twenties, it might be too much of an impact on the joints. I was really excited when I first started to do the dance moves, and even more excited when I mastered three or four of them in a row! Of course, I had to take breaks in between, and was heaving and ho-ing, but I was proud that I had taken up the impossible task and was dancing along with her! However, it is not realistic to do this kind of routine on a habitual basis for most. Because of the knee vulnerability, and because it is so tiring, that if you are not really an advanced exerciser, or athlete, then you can get turned off and feel like a total failure for not being able to complete much of it and not pursue exercise at all anymore! (extreme case, I know, but it can happen to the best of us at times) Motivation needs to fueled by mini spurts of successes every now and then, and this video will always leave you feeling that you are not able to do more more more....enough enough enough...It's a very challenging Cardiovascular workout.

 A fun way to switch up your cardio routine Jul 12, 2010
I read many reviews of Tracy's cardio DVD before purchasing it. I own and love the Mat Routine and have seen beautiful changes in my body after 1 month of solidly committing to it. So.. to I decided to give the Method a try and took the cardio plunge. My background: I am a fit female with strong legs, no knee injuries and no dance experience. For cardio I typically run 2-6 miles at a time, 2-4 x week. When I started the first dance i was a bit worried. It was difficult and confusing to get but after watching it about 7 times I was getting the hang of it and feeling really good about myself. It kinda makes you feel like you have accomplished something and it makes your body feel good to be coordinated. Yes, she does goof a bit on choreography in a few dances but its no big deal. After I learned the second dance picking up the next 4 was easy. I have only gotten to six and I have had it for a month. I sweat bullets and crack up at myself all the time when I'm doing this workout because its just plain entertaining. It is a ton of jumping and has an 80's flare to it. If you have problems jumping rope do not get this DVD. If you are fine on the balls of your feet for extended periods of time than this is great. Cant wait to get to the last 2 dances and pretty soon I will be using my own music because hers is getting a little old but its not bad. One last thing, I skip the warm-up and cool down so dance 1-5 straight take about 25 minutes of good heart-pumping cardio. For the high energy type of woman who needs a break from spinning and running.
