Certified instructor description: A fast-paced fat-burner with two different hip hop dance styles: “old school” and “sexy sculpt.” Both sections are high-energy and lots of fun — you’re “dancin’,” not “working out.” The first segment features heavy percussion with classic hip hop (moves that inspired the original hip hop phenomenon like “Cabbage Patch” and “Battle Step”). The second segment is more free-form; it focuses on “attitude” and style (e.g. ribcage slides, neck slithers and chest pops — upper-body motions that engage your core as they burn fat). Teaching one-on-one, Sarita Lou makes hip hop seem natural and motivating. ©2009. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Dance and Be Fit: Hip Hop Cardio

Good, fun workout
Wow, I don't understand the bad reviews for this. This workout is a lot of fun. The instructor really makes you feel like you are dancing yet the choreography isn't hard to learn. Sarita's cuing is a little spotty: excellent in some places and lacking in others. But overall, I didn't think it was bad at all. She's also a very engaging instructor. I don't think this is that difficult of a cardio workout but some of that could be due to my not doing the moves correctly (I never, ever want to see what I look like doing body rolls.) Unlike some other Dance and Be Fit videos, she cues live and it's a huge improvement. There is a little bit of high impact-and some other moves where a high impact version is shown-but it's pretty easy to modify. There are some knee torquing moves that might be problematic for some. I have bad knees and everything seemed fine. - posted by Vanessa on 7/8/2011
Fun Workout
This DVD was so much fun and a very good total body workout. The next day I was sore in my arms and legs. Great total body work out. - posted by Lola on 5/15/2010
Yawn
I found it a bit boring and easy. - posted by Jenny on 3/5/2010
Just okay
I saw this on FitTV and decided to give it a try. The moves are not very complicated and there is plenty of repetition. The description says "low impact", however, there is alot of jumping and bouncing. This may be an issue if you have bad knees or back problems. Overall, it was a mediocre workout that left me uninspired. - posted by Dori on 3/4/2010
Fun with flaws
I thought this was a fun, easy-to-follow workout. The instructor does not cue very well and changes her sequences with no warning, but the moves are easy to do so it is fairly easy to follow along. It is also rather repetitive and not overly difficult cardio-wise, but I have to say there is something appealing about it. Despite its flaws, it is just fun and nice to move to the rhythm. - posted by Shelley on 12/2/2009
Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus
X
You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.
Level

X
