- Unbelievable!
I have quite a selection of workout videos/DVDs but this is probaby the best one for working up a sweat whilst having a thoroughly good time doing it. The instructor is a great motivator, the music complements the routines and I found that I just wanted to worker harder and harder in order to get a body like her and her troupe!
If you like to work out hard and have a fabulous time, then this is for you. It is simply superb!

I'm what you might call an excercise-phobe, just thinking about a gym or something similar gives me the willies. I hate it. However, I was starting to get more annoyed about being the podgy one amongst my friends, so I bought this DVD because a) it didn't have some second-rate celebrity who blatantly has a personal trainer grinning on it and b) because the soundtrack seemed pretty good.
Well, I've done the vid 5 times a week for the past couple of weeks and I can finally do it all the way through in one go without having to stop and gasp for breath! It is hard if you're not fit but you notice the difference in your stamina fairly quickly, and it's not a vid you'll get bored of. The moves are tricky, I was at a complete loss first time but you pick it up the more you do of it. It's nice that the routines don't stop to explain themselves, as it would get annoying once you learn the moves to pause in the middle of the workout. I do tend to skip the Spanish dance section as i find it slows you down right when I've gotten used to the pace. Deannes' encouragement is gentle, enthusiastic and thankfully, not patronising, although the 'C'mon Guys!' can grate a little!
The only thing I have a problem with is the shorts they've given to the poor solitary guy, I can't stop laughing when doing the hip thrusts at the little white tassles on the front of them pinging up and down! Plus they look terribly shiny and eighties, how come the ladies get to wear exciting second-skin lycra but he has to wear a vest and shorts?
It's great fun to do (despite the pain and the panting) and I love watching the smiley ladies leaping about getting sweaty, they all look great but it's not offputting because you know the way they look and move is their livelihood. Plus they're enthusiastic about it and you can tell they are enjoying themselves, what with all the grinning and whooping throughout Deanne's utterly unflustered performance. It's nice to see them bodge a few moves and muck about, especially Miss Red Pants at the back!
Back to the cat - I strongly suggest you remove any pets from the room before doing the Hips and Bums bit, as my adorable cat decided that when I wanted to do sit ups was the appropriate moment to sit on my chest as I was on the floor. The bint.
I highly recommend this DVD, great fun, very sweaty and good tunes!

This is, without a doubt, the most enjoyable workout DVD I've ever owned. The routine is one of the most fun I've come across; If like me you regard exercise as the physical equivalent of completing a self assessment tax return, then encouraging, smiley Deanne and her mates just might convince you otherwise. But don't be fooled into thinking that fun means boringly easy, this is a proper cardio routine.
The workout is divided into five sections, so you can create a routine which is at the right pitch for your fitness level: you do need to view the routines first and decide what you could manage to begin with. Deanne's very motivating, reminding you of position, breathing and so on and most of the moves are broken down into smaller chunks, starting with the feet then introducing the more complex elements (If you still feel uncoordinated ,start by concentrating on getting the footwork down before introducing the arm moves.) To start with I used the warm up, first dance section and cool down before using the bums and tums, building up the reps gradually to the same amount shown. Even in a shorter form it's wonderfully effective and will target most of your large muscle groups.
It does require a few attempts to get your upper and lower body coordinated and in time,and I would recommend a couple of viewings before you start using it. This provides an excellent opportunity to spot who made it from the Call On Me video to the workout(yes, they were all in it) and enjoy the antics of the back row who, in the fine tradition of back rows everywhere, are having more fun than anyone else. Juan, the lone guy in a sea of lycra(he really looks like he *hates* it, the poor lamb :) Deanne even cooingly calls him "Juan baby") and Jordan's prettier, more fun sister(well, it could be...)flirt, laugh, grin, pull faces at each other and generally muck about whenever they get the chance. I swear that when Juan has to dance with Deanne there's a hole burning in her back from the evils Jordan's (maybe) sister is giving her.
This is is a great workout to progress to from something like Dan Karaty's Hot Pants workout, or to put some fun into your programme if you've being doing lots of gym workouts or more sober, strict routines and you need some levity. Some people might find Deanne's smile and constant stream of directions and encouragement irritating (she is almost unhumanly cheerful), or be put off by the slender, toned lovelies apparently prancing effortlessly about. If you want to be whipped into shape by a bellowing hard body,then this probably isn't for you.
I found it fun and very effective; the soundtrack is brilliant and (reassuringly, since imperfections are normally edited out of filmed workouts)the dancers sweat, pant, get knackered, fluff some of their moves and smile along with you.

I'm 16 and really unhappy with my figure. I started using this workout just over a week ago and im gradually building up the dvd step by step so i push myself further each day and therefore feel like i am making more progress. Deanne Berry demonstrates an amazing but exhausting workout. She is a fantastic instructor and hasa constant smile on her face which allows you to enjoy the work out more. This dvd makes you wnt to do it more and more, and it really works up a sweat. After just 4 workouts i can feel my chicken wings under my arms a starting to feel firmer. You can see resulst after a few workouts. I can't wait to do the work out again tomorrow, trust me, ive used a few workouts and this one really is the best and will keep you motivated and you WILL lose weight, tone up, see quick lasting results and enjoy it while you do it. It hits those areas us girls hate, flabby inner thighs, flabby underarms, over-curvy hips. Awh, its just simply amazing. This is the best bought gift ive ever bought, worth every penny and every bead of sweat. Make sure you pause after each section, take a drink of water, and have fun. Soo go on.......Pump it up!

This workout is a blast! I have bought numerous workout video's and dvd's over the years - my favourite (which you can't buy on dvd) is Kelli Roberts Real Fitness Step Aerobics. So as my video is worn out I needed to find the next best thing. This is it. I am not the best dancer in the world and it did take me 4 goes to get the moves but once you get the hang of it it is fantastic. Be prepared to ache all over. So turn up the volume and get moving!!!
