What have Beyoncé, Texas, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, and Mick Jagger got in common? They're all in great physical shape and have been taught to get their grooves on, shake their booties and burn up the dance floor by one man! And now the multi-award winning choreographer and dancer LaVelle Smith Jr. is set to help you get your very own BODYLICIOUS shape. LaVelle has created a safe and fun dance-based aerobic workout programme to tone and shape your body and get you feeling fit and fabulous. Starting with four basic routines concentrating on individual areas of the body, BODYLICIOUS concludes with a high-energy kick-ass dance routine, that will also provide you with some 'not to be missed' exclusive dance floor moves.
On the cutting edge of modern dance choreography, LaVelle is an inductee in the Miller Hall of Fame and has won five prestigious MTV Music Awards, two Bob Fosse Awards, and an Emmy nomination.

Good way to get back into exercise.

I recently got back into exercising after resting up a snapped tendon for awhile. I found that just like when I first bought this dvd its a nice transition back into exercising, it doesn't push you too hard but hard enough for anyone who hasnt done much to feel it the next morning. It is simplistic so you may want to buy something else to move onto. This dvd is also good if you are pressed for time or if you have muscle soreness and just want a light exercise. I do recommend it for beginners and as a light routine for those who have little time.
Also it might be worth noting that while after a week or so it does not feel like you are doing much my friend lost a stone in 6 weeks doing this routine everyday, so it must be offering something helpful.
It also offers you healthy eating tips and a booklet so that you can make the most of losing the weight and toning.. but you should all be doing that anyway if you intend on meeting your targets.

Do not buy itReview date: 2008-01-22 Rating: 2 out of 10When this DVD came to its end, I could not believe my eyes or my ears. I don't think it did last more than 20 minutes. I did not sweat at all. Actually the instructors spent more time talking to each other than showing the moves and choreographies.
It is an absolute shame that this DVD is for sale.
They are taking their customers for fools.I was given this DVD, now i know why!!Review date: 2007-11-27 Rating: 2 out of 10This has to be the most boring workout DVD i have ever done! The only good thing i can say about it is the Nutrition section which was quite interesting, but didn't tell me anything that i didn't already know.
Please don't waste your money on this DVD.Absolute rubbish - a travesty - can't believe that I bought this!Review date: 2007-06-20 Rating: 2 out of 10Please, please, please, whatever you do, do not buy this DVD. It is ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH.
Where do I start? Well, the choreographer looks as if he would rather watch paint dry more than be in this monstrosity. The music is bland, uninspiring and derivative. It has that dreadful Suzanne Cox who is just uninspiring and usually pops up in Z-rated fitness DVDs. The routines are dull, unimaginative and never explained fully. As for cutting edge moves and routines - puuurrrleeeeeeeeeese!
Why on earth did they make this travesty?
You have been warned. This is the worst dance exercise DVD by a marathon. Get Urban Dance workout instead. That is soooooooooooo much better.The makers should be ashamedReview date: 2007-05-01 Rating: 2 out of 10I felt it my duty to write a review, as I am so disgusted by the poor quality and obvious lack of effort put into this fitness DVD.
I have recently had a baby (8 weeks ago), so getting my fitness back but as others have written, I would have only broken a sweat if I had turned the central heating up! Lavelle is quite clearly totally uninterested in the whole experience, a project that was clearly just a quick money making [...]. I only feel deep disappointment that I have unwittingly contributed to his bank account when frankly he and everyone else involved doesn't deserve a penny.
A total [...], cashing in on the popularity of dance based workouts but providing nothing to those wishing to increase their fitness.
DO NOT BUY THIS!!!
