Cheryl Burke Presents Disco Abs (That's the Way I Like It Abs)

I am not one of those people who love to exercise, but I want to lose weight so it's a necessary evil. This DVD set is fantastic. I actually enjoyed doing the routines and I sweated a lot so I knew I was working my body (besides being out of breath at times). The music is fun and upbeat and encourages you to move.The first DVD has a 30 minute cardio routine and a 5 minute ab routine. DVD number 2 has a 30 minute cardio routine and a 12 minute ab routine. DVD 3 has a 20 minute buns and thighs routine.For me, DVD 3 was the hardest. My legs really burned. Maybe it was because I did it after the 12 minute ab routine. I don't know. Next time I'll do that routine first.I've only done each routine once, but I plan to do them again. My body ached the next day because I had used muscles other exercise routines didn't.Cheryl does a good job with the cuing and explaining. I think I did okay with the steps. I have room to improve and that will come with doing the routines again.Cheryl has four people behind her also doing the routines. The guy and gal directly behind her are annoying and I raised my eyebrows at some of their joint interaction and wanted to say, "Get a room!" I wonder what Cheryl thought when she saw the playback. I also wonder why they didn't reshoot it and tell those two to cool it. It would be better without them, but that's minor.I totally recommend this set and I look forward to getting Disco Abs!

I have purchased many exercise videos (I'm talking well over 40) during the last several years. The "Disco Abs" set of videos are fun and I don't get bored because I mix and match them. I am an experienced exerciser and this is one of my favorite videos - I even ordered another copy of this for my sister as a gift. Cheryl starts out every part slowly so you can catch the steps which are not complicated. I have a video where the steps are so fast and complicated that I can't do them so I know what I am talking about when I say "not complicated". Remember that if some moves on any video are not for you, you can always march or run in place. The idea is to keep moving, and these videos will keep you moving! If you enjoy disco music and dancing, you will really like these.

I have been on a dance exercise DVD kick lately and have bought about 20 different ones. Some suck,most are ok, and there are one or two that are great. This one is phenomenal, and my absolute favorite. If you have no dance background and cannot pick up simple choreography as it is being danced, then don't buy this. You will feel confused, and probably get frustrated. Otherwise.....I LOVED the little timer at the bottom counting down the minutes. I LOVED the music! No more quasi-elevator music dance DVD's! I LOVED the super high energy level....everyone seemed to be bursting with energy,but not in an annoying way. I LOVED the moves...they were funky and fun. I LOVED the workout. It manages to pack a lot into thirty minutes.I LOVED that the music was loud enough so that I could hear it. I LOVED LOVED LOVED this DVD! If you like dance exercise DVD's then BUY THIS!I also wanted to say that all the reviews saying the couple behind Cheryl were annoying made me almost not buy it. When I did buy it anyway I braced myself for the worst, but couldn't see at all what they were talking about. They just looked like they were having a great time. This is DANCING and you are supposed to put your personality into it. I was glad to see them get into it and for me it added to the fun of the DVD.

I grew up in the disco era so the music is fun and the moves are familiar. I LOVE Cheryl Burke and her nature...she is just pleasant to work out with. There is a couple that works out behind her that annoy me to no end. It is as if they are trying to "out sexy" each other and they end up looking really ridiculous. I think I would have given the series a 5 had they not been in the video...who wants to be annoyed for 30 minutes every morning!Cheryl Burke is the draw...the ladies on the podiums in the far back are fine...that couple in the middle? YUK.The workouts are fun...**Two weeks into using the dvd set**I still enjoy the workout and have got a feel of the different steps in each work out. I alternate the dvd's each day. It is a good work out and I enjoy it a lot. I would prefer the couple in the middle not be there at all, they still annoy me but I just try to focus on Cheryl and the other two ladies for instruction.

I've been struggling with losing my maternity weight for months, and have tried several DVDs (postnatal workouts, yoga, cardio, kickboxing, pilates, circuit training). Hands down, Cheryl's 3 disc workout is the BEST! I used to be an avid dancer, and I'm usually bored out of my mind with slow warm-ups, workouts taking forever to make me break a sweat, or with the dances being comprised of simplistic, un-challenging steps. This workout is fun (no exaggeration), has the original music (not those weird Muzak versions of the songs), and actually made me feel my abs working hard enough to start getting tight again. I've only been using the workouts for two weeks, and my body is starting to firm up more, my posture is getting better, and my stomach is finally getting smaller. Hallelujah!I always enjoyed Cheryl on DWTS, as the healthiest-looking professional dancer there (lean and toned, but still curvy). She is refreshingly direct with the workout guidance, and doesn't make any cheesy jokes or unnecessary chatter. She's adorable and inspiring. I would totally recommend these DVDs!

Ces trois DVD sont excellents pour les personnes qui aiment l'action. Ça bouge énormément,la période d'entraînement est terminée et on a encore le goût de continuer tellement c'est plaisant. Dot
