Good fun - and isn't that what exercise is about?

I've tried this DVD three times and I'm finding it incredibly good fun. The first time I played it all the way through and took my time to watch all the information. I found Lilia encouraging at the beginning, telling you to take your time and do what you feel comfortable with etc. The first time, if you watch it all the way through, she shows you in a slower mode how to do all the basic steps before each routine. I didn't join in every routine (I was tired!) but I watched it all. The warm up is excellent but the cool down a little tricky - that will take me some time. To run through it from beginning to end is about 90 minutes I think but you won't ever have to do that again.

The next time I used it I chose my own routine. This is a great idea and should alleviate any boredom I might experience. Doing it this way means you can choose a workout to match your mood. It automatically adds in the warm up and cool down and then doesn't include the instruction - so you are straight into the routines. It's great! A cool feature I haven't tried yet, but will have to as I'm not very good with a couple of the routines, is watching them from reverse angles - so you actually follow Lilia, rather than seeing her on the screen. The last time I tried it - this morning - I was able to manage 3 routines and feel really good about myself.

The other people doing the workout with her could do with a shake-up though, they don't look happy at all! If you can forget about them, this is a great DVD and one I'm really pleased I bought. I haven't watched the extras yet - Lilia dancing with Darren Bennett, some costume and make-up tips. I bought it for the exercise and this doesn't interest me. I'm certianly not very well co-ordinated and this showed on one or two of the routines but overall it's a great workout and one I'll continue to use. The best bit - choosing your own routine out of five options. The worst bit - getting the hang of the cool down.

This DVD is great fun to do and easy to follow. It definitely leaves you feeling worked out but left in a positive and up lifting frame of mind. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy themselves whilst in the process of getting trim.

Disappointed

I really didn't enjoy this. I found it very boring and repetitious. I was really look forward to it because I really enjoyed the 'Strictly Come Dancersize' and thought it would be of the same calibre. Unfortunately it wasn't - very below par. I didn't like the cheesy music either, it was quite off putting and I thought Lilia as an instructor was quite bland and I felt that she didn't really put a lot of thought into the routines. I'm actually sending it back to Amazon because I think it's a complete waste of money. 'Strictly Come Dancersize' is 100% better. The dances are fun and the music is great. You can definitely tell that Erin and Karen put a lot of thought into it. Although some complain it's quite hard, once you do it once or twice the step's are relatively easy to pick up. So I recommend that instead!

definatly fun fitness!

You have to be quite motivated to exercise at home all the time and if your like me a mum of two you have to fit it in easily with everything else!. I love strictly and think dance is the most fun way to shape up. Believe me I have tried everything. This DVD is fun easy and the dance sections arent too long. I love mixing them up and making my workout as long as I want. It even is abit challenging in places, even for me, ie Tango tone. Give it a go and say goodbye to laborious exercise!

Excellent

I've got both of Lilia's DVDs (who wouldn't want a body like that?!) and this one is even better than the last one. I particularly like the reverse angle option- you can choose whether to watch Lilia and her backing dancers performing the routines, or you can flip it around to copy what she does from behind. As someone who can struggle with dance moves, I particularly like this feature- much easier to imitate what Lilia does and you can easily flip between the two to get the best angle for a given step.

The extras are also really good- a short dance from Lilia and her dance partner Darren Bennett (when are they going to release their own DVD of dances? I'd buy ten copies!), and a few interviews with Lilia talking about costumes and make-up.
