Synopsis
Tony Stone returns to combine fat-burning dance moves with urban sounds to create an effective and enjoyable way to keep fit.

From the Back Cover
Is there a better way to work your body, burn calories and lose weight than to dance?

Tony Stone makes a welcome return with the brand new hip hop workout 2, combining fat burning dance movements and urban sounds to produce a fast, effective and hugely enjoyable way of getting fit and burning that unwanted fat.

A well known dancer and fitness trainer, Tony has worked with Kelis, LL Cool J, Michael Jackson and choreographed the dancers for Beyonce, J-Lo and Justin Timberlake. His workout not only burns calories, but also illustrates recognisable moves from some of the hottest dancers and performers currently on the music scene.

Tony and his crew of nine dancers begin with an essential 10-minute warm up, followed by the main workout, which is broken down into four 10-minute sections. As you get more confident the workout ultimately leads you to a final dance performance that will get you into shape while looking great on the dance floor!

Think you can handle it. So what’s stopping you!

Includes ‘the crew and behind the scenes’ special feature.

Customer Reviews

If you liked the first dvd, you'll like this.
The workout has the same format as before, four routines are built up gradually then put together at the end.

Although the moves are tricky you get the chance to repeat them a number of times and by the time the performance came around I could (sort of) follow the whole thing.
The instructor launches into each step with little or no explanation and no slower demonstration and inability to copy him can be quite dispiriting, but with the number of repeats it is surprising how quickly even a bad dancer like me can pick it up. As with the first DVD I felt like giving up the first time I did it, but am very glad I didn't.

The warm up is very similar to the one on the first DVD, but the routines are different enough to make it worthwhile owning both.
Hip Hop 1 included a few moves which I didn't like (the jumping ones, which I find quite hard on the knees) so for me this DVD is an improvement as it leaves these out while remaining around the same level of activity.
For those who haven't used the first DVD, this gets me sweating almost as much as Tae Bo or Nell, so its fairly tough.

A great DVD, I'll definitely do this one again and again. Can't stress enough that although its hard to follow at first it is defintely worth sticking with.

FANTASTIC!
Love it! I loved the first one and kept it up for ages but eventually the music and the moves I knew so well were starting to annoy me. Just in time came Hip Hop 2 and it's even better! It is so much fun and you actually enjoy excersing(which is strange for me)! I've got to admit that for the first couple of times the moves were badly explained so I stumbled around laughing (but still got a good workout!), but if they had been explained I'd have to listen to it over and over again when I know the moves! That'd be way more annoying!

Anyway, the music's better and it's just got that beat that you wanna get up and dance to; and the moves are better because they're more complicated, more fun, and covering a wider range of moves. I know it doesn't matter but the setting is also better! It's in a skate park instead of a garage.

In short, I love it! Bring on Hip Hop 3!

Even better than the first!
After really liking the first Hip Hop Workout, I decided to buy the second.
It was really challenging on the first run through and I couldn't get some of the moves fully, so it wasn't such a good workout and I was only mildly warm by the end. Second time on I got nearly all the moves and attempted the performance section. The performance is speeded up a lot and is where you get the main good workout from. It is more challenging and the moves are a bit more complicated but I think this just made the workout even more enjoyable.
The sound track is a little better than the first, but is drowned out sometimes by the trains going past (very odd!).
Unfortunately the warm up and cool down (annoying similar in the first anyway) is lifted pretty much exactly from the first (with a few of the more annoying features removed) so if you're sick of the first warm up/cool down, I don't suggest buying this one!
I'd buy this one over the first one but maybe the moves would be easier if you had done the first one first.
