Each season, audiences watch in amazement as stars shrink down and shape
up on ABC’s DANCING WITH THE STARS™. Now you can share their weight-loss success and dance off the pounds with three different cardio dance routines—Swing, Jive and Quickstep—led by pro dancers Dmitry, Lacey and Kym. Each routine gets your body warmed up with the signature moves of the featured dances before progressively adding on to create complete, calorie-blasting workouts – so you can learn with ease and get dancer fit all at once. Join the fat-burning fun and dance your way to a superstar body!I love to dance, but when it comes to the Swing, Jive, and Quickstep, I’m clueless, so the first time I tried Dance Off the Pounds, it was quite difficult.
The first section, featuring Kym doing the Swing, was the easiest of the dance exercises to me. I caught on pretty quickly to most of the steps, such as the triple step/cross step and Charleston, but a few of the moves, like the Susie Q, took me a while to get the hang of.
The Jive was very similar to the Swing, but it seemed much more fast paced, and Lacey seemed to go through the steps a lot faster too. The triple steps and kicks were simple, but once she started to add spins and big arms I fumbled a lot.
The Quickstep was indeed the hardest for me—they don’t call it Quickstep for nothing! Dmitry seemed to go through a lot of steps at once before adding them to the routine, and unlike the other routines, I found myself simply bouncing to the beat since I couldn’t master most of the steps (and I was out of breath!).
However, the more I do the dances on the DVD, I'm sure it'll get easier.
Each section was just 15 minutes long, and I did them all in one evening, but there is an option to do only specific dances, and to even do the exercises with music only, versus music and instruction.
Despite struggling throughout most of the DVD, I did break a sweat and I know my heart was pumping hard, and as I continue to do the exercises on the DVD, hopefully I’ll become a decent dancer, and at the very least, as fit as one!
As with any exercise program, it’s important that you consult with your doctor or other physician first.

Any latin style of dancing is my favorite to watch - tango, samba, salsa. Notice, though, that I said watch...I can't dance! I, strangely enough, have rhythm, but can not dance to save my life!
Thanks for the laughs and the giveaway!
