Jade's Dance Workout [2002]

Amazon.co.uk Review

As well as dropping two dress sizes since leaving the Big Brother house, Jade Goodey's also dropped the incessant banter that made her so watchable. In Jade's Dance Workout, the Jade who doesn't take herself seriously is seriously presented as a dance-fitness coach. According to the work-out's sell, the Big Brother contestant loathes the gym and managed to lose weight and tone up thanks to dancing. Yet in the interview (featured on the DVD) Jade mentions a personal trainer... and a gym. Not surprisingly she neither looks nor acts the dance part. With four funky guys strutting their fab professional dance bodies, unfortunately Jade is shown up for what she is: inept.

Jade aside, an ace soundtrack, great moves and an accessible work-out (featuring a fun 10-minute warm-up, a 30-minute work-out that isn't too demanding and a five-minute toning cool-down) make this a fun way to get moving and master some flash stuff for the dance-floor. In fact, had this been presented by the choreographer himself, Fame Academy's Kevin Adams, this would have had huge appeal.

On the DVD: a so-called interview simply features a few sentences on a list of subjects, without capturing Jade's humour. Most revealing, and certainly the only interesting section of the entire DVD, is the behind-the-scenes feature, which confirms this dance charade is nothing but an ego-boosting job. --Lorna V

Terrible DVD.......2007-11-18

Please don't waste your money on this DVD. Jade can't dance at all. Her instructions are annoying, the movements are boring and she can't even execute the moves properly. I own alot of Dance DVDs and Dance workout DVDs and this is definately the worst one I have seen.

Buy it for comedy value!.......2006-02-21

Well...Jade does try bless her but she can't even do a proper sit-up and she watches some of the floor exercises! Her voice is majorly annoying and the guys who do it with her (cute, fit, healthy black dudes) laugh behind her back. A very gentle work out, definitely not for those of us who aren't obese or who have a lot of energy as half the DVD is teaching the moves. A poor effort from a fat celeb wannabe.

i laughed my way through it!!.......2006-01-18

Oh my word, well bless her, Jade's not an exercise professional and that's so obvious in the video. More often than not she gets the dance steps wrong or tells you something and then decides to do something completely different, so don't be surprised if you find yourself stopping every 5 minutes!!

its a good laugh to do with your friends, but its really not useful if you're serious about losing weight. the routines are not very strenuous AT ALL and you're so busy working out which way to move that you hardly get your heart rate up!

buy it if you're not serious about losing weight, but if you are, i'd recommend someone like davina mc call..hers are really excellent and value for money :) xxxxx

Dont Buy.......2004-02-28

PLEASE dont buy this video it is worthless.The dancing is rubbish and YOU wont lose weight or you wont get into shape so Dont BUY!

Good, but not very challenging.......2003-10-20

I found that this workout was fun and the music was good, but I didnt find it very challenging. I am very unfit, and I found this very easy to complete, but I still really like this workout. But I would suggest alternating this with another more strenuous workout. I can't wait for Jades forthcoming new workout, hopefully will be as good as this one!

Great Value!!.......2007-01-27

Me and my friend just wanted a cheap workout so were slightly sceptical at buying this for the actual workout, but liked the price, being students. However we were pleasantly surprised. It is v fun.

Helen- Our favourite workout. Simple to follow and pick up, although the toning section kills the day after!!! Obviously works though!

Jade- Although she is slightly annoying, this is a fun workout and time passes really quickly!

Nadia- Doesn't really seem to know what shes doing and the instructor quite annoying. This is harder work than the other two workouts but is something a bit different.

Overall a brilliant buy!

Fun, Fun and annoying.......2006-08-10

My favorite is the dance helen workout. She is good as an instructor but is quite lighthearted and makes the excercise fun. It is a good workout with some good toning sections. I've done it more than 100 times and still havn't got bored of it. It has some classic cheesy music to it aswell.

The Nadia workout is also good. This time Nadia is in the background and a hunky instructor guides you through the latin style moves. Plenty of hip shaking and dreaming that you were dancing with him and not realy at home! This is a fun contrast and quite a workout for your hips and thighs if you're not used to working out those areas.

The Jade one is as annoying as everyone says. Its a shame she is presenting it- there are some good dance routines that are fun to work through but I wish you could turn jades voice off. She didn't seem to be into doing it either- but as its in the box set it makes a nice change if you do it with the sound off.

Only Nadia's workout is not a waste of money.......2006-07-01

Jade: She is definately the least suitable person to present the workout. She did not do, neither explained the movements well, and skipped the difficult parts ... let only the boys at the back do it! The boys are great, though. If they presented the workout (without Jade), I'd definately do it more often.

Helen: Same as Jade .... waste of money.

Nadia: Fun! Great! Although Nadia is not good at it, she had an instructor to show, explain and leads the workouts. This DVD makes it up for the first two.
