Great fun routines for lazy days.......2006-07-21

I am a very active person and exercise aggressively on most days. Everyone has lazy days and this DVD is perfect for the days when you know you should exercise but you just can't be bothered to do anything too strenuous. The sections can be split into individual workouts, or the whole routine can be done in one go.

It's nowehere near the most strenuous DVD I have done, but is great fun to do and gives you the satisfaction that you have worked out at the end. Suzanne is a good instructor, motivational and not patronising at all. Overall would recommend to those who are looking for a starting point, or those who are looking to add something to their current workout programme.

Brilliant.......2005-05-17

The best workout brought to us by Suzanne Cox. The first section is a disco dancing workout with a little bit of bottom work afterwards and section two is more club dance based. Brilliant workout whilst having a boogie!

My fav exercise DVD!.......2004-09-13

This is my favourite exercise DVD! I'm not terribly fit, but I'm not a beginner at aerobics and I find this DVD is great. The two 30 minute routines are good for alternating throughout the week. The first "Disco" routine is fairly low impact, but is still interesting and fun. The "Dance" workout is slightly harder and faster paced, with some more difficult steps. Suzanne is a friendly and approachable presenter, who explains the moves well and doesn't waffle. This is far better than Suzanne's other DVD - The Fix, which is pretty awful and very dated.

A workout I am happy to add to my collection!.......2003-05-07

I own a good number of exercise videos and DVDs. I recently purchased two Suzanne Cox DVDs. I did Firm It Up just this morning and I am sold! A good, solid, aerobic workout - low impact, yes, so less chance of jarring and joint pain. Good for beginners - but it was easy for this Intermediate exerciser to add more energy to the routines - and it is possible to do both workouts together, back to back, for a longer 60 minute workout.

The dance routines were fun and a good break from the more traditional aerobics move - not a grapevine, a pony, a repeater knee in sight.

Just what I needed to add some variety to my morning workout.

A exercise DVD that is only good for beginners..........2001-03-08

I have always wanted to buy a good exercise DVD that is both fun and effective. From the cover of the DVD, Suzanne Cox promised just that. However, it is regrettable that the DVD does not live up to its expectations.

As for the exercise itself, the moves are relatively easy to master, and it is of quite a low impact, thus might be good for beginners, but if you are looking for a good cardio excercise that makes you sweat a lot, this DVD is not for you. The dance moves themselves are not very fun to do either.

However, the routine of the exercise is well structured, with easy skipping and chapters access, you can pick and combine the two different types of work out that you like. There is a lower intensity work out and a higher intensity one. The two types of dances (salsa, 70's disco and flamenco in one, tribal, 90's disco and disco in the other) also provides a good variety of excercise so that you will not get bored.

Despite the instructors enthusiasm and her easy to follow instructions, her appearance is not what one can look up to and think that 'I want a body like hers' type, I looked more at the dancers behind for motivation. Also, the background is the same studio rather than some nice varieties of sceneries, the lighting makes it look like a very amateur 80's disco.

Overall, this DVD was not for me, but if you are a beginner or just want some low impact workout that is different from other aerobic workouts, this might be for you.
