Dance Body Beautiful Hip Hop Ballroom - Thoughts

Image
Lisa Rinna's fourth workout from the Dance Body Beautiful series is Hip Hop Ballroom.   Following the same pattern as the other three DBB DVDs, this workout features the following four dances : Hip Hop Bop & Ballroom Cha Cha Hey Hey Hip Hop Quick Step Hip Hop Salsa I like all the dances. I didn't necessarily like all the tempos. The tempos are slow, medium, and fast.  There were a couple of the fast tempos (Hip Hop Salsa and Hip Hop Quick Step) I thought too fast and the slow tempo in Hip Hop Bop & Ballroom, I thought too slow.  Also, the camera angles. One of my biggest pet peeves about dance workouts is when they cut off the feet. This workout does it and it's annoying.  Luckily the moves are fairly easy to follow which is good because Lisa cuing is not the best. All the workouts have moves where you do a single, another single and then a double. Lisa has a habit of calling this out. She will say "single, single, double on the same side".  I...

Dance Body Beautiful Ballroom Body Blast - Thoughts

Ballroom Body Blast is disc 3 of Lisa Rinna's Dance Body Beautiful workouts. The workout is about 67 minutes in length and the format is the same as the other Dance Body Beautiful workouts. Each dance contains four sections. The breakdown Slow tempo Medium tempo Fast tempo In between the warm up and cool down are four different dance routines. They are : Jive, Jam, and Kick Hot Salsa Burn Samba Blast Disco Dream Body I really did like all the dances and thought all four were cute.  I skipped the breakdown section of each dance and I started with the Slow Tempo section and then move on to the other tempos.  By the end of the slow tempo I had all the moves down.  Although I was a bit irritated with the camera angles.  Some of the camera angles made the dances difficult to pick up the moves the first couple of times through. Lisa, still not crazy about her cuing.  I wouldn't have mind if the workout had a music only option.  There is a bon...

Dance Body Beautiful: Ballroom Learn & Burn

Image
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 i...
