A high-energy, core-focused, dance aerobic workout. The cardio section is carefully structured to burn calories as you tighten every abdominal muscle (e.g. squeezing your obliques as you do “twists,” or engaging your core during knee lifts). It’s team taught by Judi Sheppard Missett, her daughter and another instructor. Each one displays a different style (e.g. Judi is more “dancy,” her daughter is more “athletic”). The program ends with a solid body-sculpting section that focuses on your abs and lower body. You also get an additional 18-minute “bonus” workout that targets your abs with varied floorwork. Upbeat vocal music. Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells; a stability ball is optional. ©2009. DVD has: 3 premixes (19 to 27 min. alternate workouts).

Jazzercise: Core

A beginner workout...

This DVD does a good job of mixing up short segments so that you don't get bored doing the same move over and over. However, I thought this was a beginner workout, not intermediate. The core work will be effective for someone just starting out. - posted by Jane on 7/6/2009

Better than Live and Cardio, Strength, Stretch

I have done Jazzercise Core twice. I am so lucky to have my live classes that I religiously go to, but I do think this dvd is a good one to use when I can't make it to class and I am in the mood for a little Jazzing at home. It is a bit more intense than Jazzercise Live, and definitely more intense than Cardio, Strength, Stretch, but it is still not nearly as intense or as challenging as the live classes. Nonetheless, it does represent the way Jazzercise moves engage your entire body, and you do work your core in every routine, through every movement, if you are attentive. I wish that there were a few routines that keep you at your uppermost level of exertion, but there is only one on the dvd that makes me work hard (the one where Shanna says "Now I am working" and her arms move in a figure eight and then there are jumps to each side. In the live classes, there are always several routines that keep your heart rate at peak intensity.) Judi is not my favorite instructor on the dvd- I definitely prefer Shanna and Cheri, but Judi has her endearing qualities and I think it is fantastic that she is 65 and still able to work out at the level she does. Her form isn't always impeccable, but she is still strong and an example of someone still very fit, even at 65! And, Judi founded this program, and it is such a gift to everyone who enjoys dance-cardio! Thanks Judi! Of their new releases, this dvd is the best dvd so far; I wonder when they will actually be able to capture how exciting, tough and fun the actual classes are? Still, if at home, I am happy to have Core in my collection because it is fun and it is a good workout. - posted by w.o.w. on 6/23/2009

Fun!

Not only was this workout fun, but I really worked up a good sweat. Very nicely done. I hope to see more Jazzercise DVDs in the future. This one is definitely going into my rotation. - posted by meglei on 4/30/2009

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

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.

Premixes

These are alternate workouts created by the manufacturer. They use the same content as the main program (i.e. the very same video footage). But the sections are re-edited into pre-made alternative workouts that you select from a menu. These are often condensed versions of the main workout.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning

Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
