DVD Description
Urban Workout - A fresh new way to get fit! Urban Workout is a fitness routine created from a simple concept. If you love dancing and music - either on the dance floor or at home, then this is the workout for you! It's all about simple moves to smooth beats. Concentrate on the exercise and fitness and you'll be busting the moves before you know it! Find your own energy and pace in the music and soon your body will be conditioned, leaving you looking fly from head to toe!

Urban Workout follows an easy step-by-step format. After the warm-up comes the " slo & lo " section, showing you some basic moves to slower tracks. Next, take it mid-tempo for the " mid-section " - a routine designed to work your muscles and build your stamina. Then comes the " hard & heavy " workout, full-on fitness at a pumped up pace. Finish off with the cool down to calm your muscles and relax your whole body.

OKAY, TURN UP THE MUSIC AND GET READY TO GET IN SHAPE WITH THE URBAN WORKOUT!

Customer Reviews

Good workout, but be careful
I was generally impressed with this dvd. However, as an aerobics instructor, I couldn't help but notice that a lot of her technique is fairly poor, especially on some of the stretches. And I'm not sure how safe all the exercises are for the general population - there's certainly some things on there that we're specifically told not to teach in an aerobics class.
That said though, it's a fun workout. If you know how to exercise safely and can adapt the more dodgy bits, then this is very enjoyable from a dance and choreography perspective. But but you need to bear in mind that she's a dancer, NOT a fitness instructor.

C'mon Bust A Move!
At last for all of us who dislike going to the gym ...read on.
I'm not a lover of the aerobic workout dvds which I find boring and slow and that was another reason for the purchase of this.
I look at the cover of this dvd and think yeah some smooth grooves to start out my new fitness regime, slowly ...ah no. As it describes on the cover there are some slammin tunes and some slammin workouts to boot. I love this and once you have started to get to grips with some of the more complicated moves it really is fun and funky fitness.

There are six chapters to the dvd - introduction, warm up, slo & lo, mid-section, hard & heavy (yes it really is, and you will sweat!) and the cool down section. There is also a behind the scenes section on the dancers.

This is a must for you people out there who love to dance but hate the gym and sit behind a desk all day (when I'm not out on photographic shoots I'm also sat behind a computer piling on the pounds). This certainly gets the body moving and your blood pumping as well as teaching you some new dance moves - that includes you fellas out there, this is not just for the laydeez! Oh .....and one last thing ...HEALTH WARNING this may become rather addictive excercise, have fun.

Good fun!
I got this DVD for the days when I want a good aerobic workout without toning/conditioning exercises. It's a lot of fun, the moves are challenging at first but the sequences are repeated enough times so that they are not impossible. The music is great too. According to my heart rate monitor, it burnt almost as many calories as some of the tougher workouts I do and was in fat burning zone a lot of the time. All in all, I would say you get a good workout in a very enjoyable way!
