DVD Reviews of Fitness with the Pros
DVD Review: Good workout, not so great technology
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this workout. It's very different from your standard cardio and, although cuing may be a little lax at times, it's easy to follow (for the most part). Not only can you choose from different workout levels, you can choose which of the dances to do in each level. That makes it easier to get a short workout if needed. The only thing that I don't like, and it is a fairly large inconvenience, is that you can't pause, rewind, or otherwise navigate. While that may not seem like a huge deal, it is extremely irritating when your phone rings and you have to choose between starting the dance over later or taking the call. DVD Review: No partner needed
Summary: 4 Stars
"Fitness with the Pros" is a three-level program that features Edyta Sliwinska, from Dancing with the Stars, as the instrucor. Her husband is on the DVD with her, but he says nothing the entire time. The workout is divided into three levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. There were four dance styles which I will individually focus on.
Waltz-only in Beginner level-The Waltz is known as a slow ballroom dance, and Edyta did the best she could with teaching it without a partner. The beginning is full of only lunges forward and to the sides, but eventually you work in some more moves such as the box step. It isn't cardio, but it really works your calves, thighs, and quads.
Cha-Cha-only in Beginner and Intermediate levels-The Cha-Cha is known as the sharp, flirty Latin dance with a distinct 1 2 3 cha-cha-cha rhythm. Edyta did very well with it, I think. The problem is, in both levels she would just call out the name of the step and expect you to know the move. Definitely not beginner. However, she does the move enough times that the exerciser will be able to catch on pretty quickly.
Samba-only in Intermediate and Advanced levels-The Samba is the bouncy, party Latin dance, and it is a really fun dance. Edyta taught the moves the same way as the Cha-Cha, she just called out the names and expected you to know the moves. I didn't really feel that it was the hardest in terms of cardio, but it definitely had some challenging moves in the Advanced section.
Jive-in Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels-The Jive is a really fun, high-energy dance that is full of kicks, flicks, and jumps. Edyta pretty much teaches the same way, saying the name without explanation. That's okay, though, because most of the moves are kicks. The moves don't really change until the Advanced section when they become really fast and hard to follow.
This DVD is a really great mixture of fitness and teaching, but it is going to be really hard for the beginner. As before stated, no partner is needed like in their other, strictly teaching DVD, "Dancing like the Pros." There are some clips of this DVD on their websites edytasliwinska com AND alecmazo com. It's a good DVD that I would recommend if you like Latin/Ballroom dancing.
DVD Review: Great Workout and Learning Some Real Steps
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this to be my favorite of the current three "DWTS" DVDs I have purchased thus far. It has three different levels, and a "help" in slow motion for more explanation. It's more difficult than the DVD hosted by Ashley, Max and Kym, but it's a lot of fun. It does perhaps lack the warmth of that one--which is charming, but simpler. This one has really helped me tone, esp. my lower body and core.DVD Review: Great for all levels
Summary: 5 Stars
This video is really setup well. It has three impact levels and three dances within each level. I have two other dancing with the stars videos, but this one is my favorite. I really like the instructor and dances.DVD Review: Just OK - Not what expected
Summary: 3 Stars
This video does have some merit but I actually found it hard to follow as Edyta does not project her voice that well. Plus I have a carpeted home and doing this on carpeting just doesn't work. You do need an uncarpeted room to do this in. I was disappointed but at the same time I thought it appeared to be a good and challenging workout.
