Bellydance Fitness for Weight Loss featuring Rania: Hip Drop Hip Hop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just finished doing this workout for the sixth time and my face is that beet red color pale skin gets after exercise. That is how I know it was a good workout, not to mention I am hot and tired and feeling that pleasant rush one gets after exercise.
Anyway, this video starts with a warm up that I like because I can tell that even the warm up will tone my muscles. It includes hip circles, snake arms, and hip drops, all moves that I can feel in my muscles after doing them. Normally I hop around a bit as I am getting a workout DVD to the right place and skip the boring warm up but I do this one because it feels beneficial.
The workout consists of a series of short dance combinations that are taught slowly and then quickly. Each one is layered on top of the next until you end up doing 5 different combinations in a row. The moves are easy to learn -not frustrating at all- I learned them the first time I did this video. I can still hear in my head "step together step touch drop drop drop."
This is a workout video and a good one for a beginner, not an instruction video so I have not taken a star off for bouncy non belly dance form or for facial expression. The reason I took a star off is because it was a little shorter and less intense than I wanted. When all five combinations are put together, you only get to do it three times before Rania says it is time for cool down. I have to get my remote and go back a bunch of times to get the workout that matches my energy level.
All in all though I enjoy this as a short workout video
