DVD Reviews of Paula Abdul's Get Up and Dance!
DVD Review: Good fun and energetic.. FIVE STARS DEFINITELY!!
Summary: 4 Stars
UPDATE : a few years on and this has to be my aALL time FAVE DVD workout! Unfortunately I can't update the rating - but I would definitely give it 5 stars as it has really stood the test of time. I just don't get bored with it! I switch every now and then to something else - just for a change, but always come back to this one and totally have a blast doing it. It really is great fun, and a really thorough workout. I love Paula's attitude - it's very motivating and energising and very encouraging too. This is great when I'm really not in the mood for working out too, as after the first minute I'm totally into, and having fun! and before I know it I'm done! which is such a great feeling when you felt like there's no way you could stomach a workout today... Oh and it's really simple to follow the moves once you've done it a few times, just stick with it..
OLD REVIEW - which still stands..
This is sooooo different to Paula's Cardio Dance DVD... This one is done in a huge warehouse or dance studio, with about 100 other dancers! (well maybe 30..) which I found a little off putting at first, as the camera kept switching from person to person.. but now I really love that aspect! It feels like you are doing a live dance/aerobics class..
The moves are very energetic - which I liked. They take a few practices to get perfect - but are not that difficult. The George Jetson is hilarious!! 'o) The main difficulty is doing all the steps for each dance move in the rapid time sequence! but I've only done this once (with a few replays during..) so I'm sure it will get easier. (Update : it does...)
I was surprised this wasn't from the 80s, given the look and feel of it. It has a kind of Flashdance, Breakfast Club kind of feel.. which adds to the whole fun atmosphere of the DVD.
The moves are much easier to grasp than Cardio Dance - but the overall workout is much more energetic. (though Cardio Dance is WELL worth the effort it takes to get the moves figured out..) Look out for the cheesy YMCA bit in the middle!! I was soooo embarrassed that someone would walk by my window at that moment!!! 'o) I recommend closing the curtains! but it is fun, and I was laughing while doing it..
To avoid injury, I'd recommend taking your time to go over and over the moves initially, so you have them down pat before trying to do them at the manic pace the dancers do.. I don't find doing it on the carpet a problem at all, and you are reminded to lift your knees when doing those kind of moves
Having said that, it is great fun, and it does provide a great cardio workout! and there are a LOT of sit ups in the toning/abs section, which is great - as a lot of cardio workouts neglect that..
Personally, I prefer Cardio Dance - as it's not quite so manic.. (UPDATE : not any more!) but this one is a slightly more energetic workout.. which gets your heart rate up a little more than Cardio Dance.. so I may grow to prefer this for that reason alone.. (UPDATE : I did) I don't feel Paula's gentle side of her personality shines so much in this one.. but her lively side sure does.. (Update : I actually really love this workout now that I'm used to the very different style. I like both Paula's DVDs for different reasons. This one's manic but great fun. Cardio Dance is a great workout, but slightly slower pace than this one. This is now my FAVE all time dance workout, and I honestly REALLY look forward to doing it, because it really is just so much fun!! and I do it 6 times a week, and have had it for (UPDATE : a few years now), and I still really enjoy it - and I have soooo noticed my body tone up!!)
