Bodyfit 360 Dance Conditioning Vol 2

I'm 58 and have worked out off and on through the years starting w/Jane Fonda, moving on to Kathy Smith and so on through the years. I've tried the Jillian Michaels workouts, don't care for her style, and have even tried the P90X and even Shaun T's insanity. I love variety and most workouts are effective, you just have to do them. I recently discovered Michelle Dozois and I have to say that this woman is a fantastic instructor. She really knows her stuff and her dance background reflects in this workout, although I would not call this a dance workout at all. I watched the video several times before actually doing it so that I could follow her without looking at the screen. This is different, fun and a great workout. I can feel and see the results. I am older and this type of workout helps me to not only stay in shape, but it keeps me limber. Do not give up after one time, I urge you to stay with this, you will master the moves. You were not born knowing how to walk, but you did it. If you still are not convinced then I would urge you to check out her other dvds, she is a wonderful Pilates instructor as well. Good luck to all.

I like this workout a lot for cardio and flexibility work. As advertised, the moves help me to stretch my muscles and loosen up my joints. Doing that as I'm also getting a cardiovascular workout is pleasant and efficient.The transitions between moves are too fast for me to maintain good form, however. The moves are challenging but not super hard. They are super fast, though. I slowed down somewhat, but still felt some of the potential benefits got lost in the shuffle. The strength training aspect of the moves, especially for the core, was undermined by the speed.I should note that I'm a 45 year old woman, an intermediate exerciser with some dance background. I assume I'll get better at the form over time. This workout is worth the effort, I think, but at the same time I don't see it becoming a part of my core rotation.

I consider myself an intermediate exerciser and I tried this video yesterday for the first time. I have a few other Michelle Dozois videos (Peak 10) and I was expecting it to be similar. Boy was I wrong! When I first started, I was worried and thought I was going to hate it. Some of the moves are VERY complex and I just didn't think I could do it. I did the best that I could, and I'd say there were only a few moves I couldn't do. I felt so good afterwards, I'm glad I pushed through it. I didn't get my heart rate up as much as I do with the Peak 10 workouts, but I felt really energized and my whole body felt stretched out, more than I usually feel on a cardio or cardio/strength video. I will definitely keep it in my rotation, and I think as I get in even better shape and gain more flexibility, I'll be able to do all of the moves.

This workout is a good one for the whole body. Building strength, agility, without using equipments which is nice. I am used to doing Cathe's and kelly Coffey Meyer,(now i am slowing down so am doing parts of those workouts at a time). it is a nice change to have a different style exercises. This workout is also different from Michelle's own previous dvd,(less impact) . it has a nice variety of moves, some which are reminding of dance type moves. Not much impact but still gets your heart rate up. Could not finish the whole thing the first time. Giving it 4 stars rather than 5 because some of the moves are not flowing, and some require quite a lot of practice to get to do it well..

This is a wonderful workout. Pretty strenuous with a couple of moves that I cannot do. However it is easy to modify them. I would have given the workout 5 stars but the person who is modifying on the video doesn't really show much modification and you are left figuring out your own ways to adjust the workout. I am 56 and in good shape and this workout delivers a great comprehensive group of moves that get your heart rate up but help increase your flexibility. Michelle has a great way of leading without being too chatty and annoying.

I have other M. Dozoiz dvds and find her energy and style to fit my preference. Not quite as contemporary as some of her others but still a good workout.

It is hard to come up with a new work out these days, but this one is new and innovative. It's like a combo of pilates, yoga, belly dancing, plyometrics, aerobic dancing etc. I rotate between Jillian Michaels, Turbo Fire, Insanity, Jackie Warner and Michelle Doizois. I really like the way Michelle ques. Her Peak 10 Cardio Resistance workouts are awesome as well. I like this one when I'm looking for less impact, more stretching, and some fun. Some of the music has a bit of a tribal sound to it and is really fun workout with. This is quite literally a work out with a whole new twist.

This is challenging and gets you sweaty but without weights or any equipment. Not even shoes! I consider myself pretty fit but I'm just worn out on hardcore HIIT style workouts and this does the trick. I also like how she infuses a bit of yoga into the mix.PS: Not for newbies. Definitely more intermediate to advanced. I do hope we see more from her in the future. It's almost like a faster moving Piyo.
