Bollywood dance July 14, 2008 Ana M. Vasquez (Newark, New Jersey United States) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Yes, you will get a good workout but this was not what I was expecting. I was looking for more of an Indian dance routine/workout like I saw on Fittv with Instructor Sarina Jina. This DVD combines several Indian dance moves with crisscross jumping jacks, half jacks, squats... However, the workouts were difficult to keep pace with because the instructional part was poorly done, there were no countdowns on the crisscross jumping jacks, half jacks, hop turns and jumps making it difficult to distinguish when to perform the next routine/move. I've been playing the Workout II without the instructional part, just the music and attempting to figure out the moves sequences on my own.
What a waste of money! May 8, 2008 Inamakah (Valley Center, CA) 5 out of 9 found this review helpful
I have seldom felt that I wasted my money so badly. I expected real Bollywood music, steps... you know an Indian routine which will make me feel like dancing and working out to some of the great Bollywood movie songs. Instead, there comes Hemalayaa, a beautiful woman, very fit, but which lacks the grace of a real Indian dancer and all you do I guess is ordinary aerobics with some type of weird techno wannabe Indian music. Please... do yourself a favor, if you are looking for a Bollywood workout thinking you will be dancing like Karina Kapoor or Kajol... THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT. Go get Bollyrobics with Julia Casper. She is what you want.
Fun but pacing needs work May 4, 2008 Deepi (Oakland, CA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a fun video, but it moves very fast and doesn't give you enough time to learn some of the moves. I also had a problem with the pacing -- in the middle of an intense, high-impact cardio workout you suddenly stop and do yoga, then you suddenly start dancing again. I would prefer the workout more thoughfully designed, building up to the more difficult stuff, and having the yoga be a separate workout. There is a LOT of jumping involved, which is really bad for your knees. There should be alternate moves for people who prefer not to jump. Also, the instructions are good but could use a little more attention to detail -- for example, if you are bending forward and can't see the screen, there should be a little more instruction so you know to get up and start moving again. Finally, the outfits are fun (though hardly workout clothes) but I was a little confused at all the zooming in on the butt... this is an exercise video, people, not a music video.
fun workout April 28, 2008 Shakira Beharry (seoul, korea) Tons of fun and the time flies. I have only been doing it for about 2 weeks and already see and feel a difference in my body. Definitely a good thigh work out!
feel the burn April 14, 2008 Ann M. Garcia (Central, CA) I haven't had the chance to use this video entirely as I live in an upstairs apt. There is alot of jumping involved. It was a fun fast-paced workout. I was sore after just one 15 min session. So far it's been really easy to follow along with the routines.
