Dance Body Beautiful: Ballroom Learn & Burn

Dancing with the Stars Alumni Lisa Rinna creates a workout series called Dance Body Beautiful. The Dance Body Beautiful series contain four workouts.

One of the those workouts is titled Ballroom Learn & Burn. I thought this was the first workout in the series but the introduction to the workout cited it as being the second workout.

This workout is a 66 minutes workout that takes you through a warm up, 4 dances, and a cool down.

The dance sections are:

- Super Rumba Burn

- Fat-Free Hustle

- Paso Doble Matador Burn

- Quick Step Power Shred

Within each dance section, Lisa first breaks down the step in a 8 count reps, then she walk you through the whole sequence, next you do the dance steps to a slow tempo, then a medium tempo, and then to a fast tempo. The fast tempo is done for a minute and 1/2.

The only step I had a problem picking up were the steps in the Fat-Free Hustle and it is simply going to time and practice to get that step down. There is a lot of turning and pivoting with that step that requires repetition to get down.

I enjoyed the steps in this workout. By the time you hit the medium and fast tempos, you were working up quite a sweat and fatigue was even setting in the legs.

Cons:

It is evident that Lisa is not a fitness instructor.

First she doesn't mirror cue.

Second her instruction is lacking, and unclear.

Third, the cuing that she does do is often late. I stopped listening to her and just began to watch was she was doing.

Also, the workout or Lisa wasn't consistent in calling the reps within the dance.

Lastly, the workout is repetitive. Really repetitive. The only time this doesn't bother me was during the fast section where you knew you were going at full speed for minute and 1/2.

One thing I will say about Lisa, she was very enthusiastic and that carry over into the workout.

I am going to give this workout 3 stars out of 5. Although, the next time I do this workout I might change this rating.
