Certified instructor description: A fast-paced “dance aerobics” workout that burns fat as it targets your midsection. No need for floorwork crunches, these aero/tone intervals tighten your abs using two ultra-motivating techniques. First, the familiar Jazzercise dance moves smoothly blend non-stop ab toning into every motion (e.g. hip swings, pelvic tilts and using your core to control momentum). Second, the program includes some short, all-toning standing segments (e.g. plié squats, side-to-side isometrics). Led by Shanna Missett Nelson, it’s a well-produced, high-energy workout driven by dynamic, pop music-style vocals. Includes lower-impact modifications. Can be done in a small floor space. ©2009. DVD has: 1 premix (32 min. alternate workout), Wide screen.

Jazzercise: Dancin' Abs
Feelin' Abs in this workout
I like this workout a lot. I could really feel the proof of having emphasized the abs workout after having done this routine. The instructors were straightforward which I really liked- no cutesy comments. I liked the fluid way in which the routine moved from segment to segment. The only thing that would have made this better is to have an option to turn up the music or even mute instructors voices, but that is a standard criticism of mine with most of the DVD's I have. Once a routine is learned, it's no longer necessary to have the instruction obstructing the music. - posted by Robin on 1/20/2012

One of my absolute favorites!
Great workout---Music is terrific--luv the standing ab work! Shanna is great! You and mom keep making those videos and I will keep buying them! Luv you both! High energy intermediate workout! I never get tired of this video! FUN FUN FUN! - posted by Lisa on 12/10/2011

Love to Jazzercise!
I attend Jazzercise classes regularly, but when I can not fit a class in my schedule, I will workout with this video. It is a very fun cardio workout and also targets each muscle group. I really like this video and think it is a great and effective workout. - posted by Danielle on 10/13/2011

Not a good cardio DVD
I ordered this DVD in hopes of getting a fun, dancy cardio workout, but I didn't crack a sweat. If you want just an ab workout, it might be for you, but it wasn't cardio enough for me. - posted by Becky on 9/29/2011

Love this ab workout!!!
Great addition to aerobic workout. - posted by Rox on 7/14/2011

Not for me...
I purchased this DVD, based on the 60 second preview, "Staff Favorite", and high reviews. After trying it out, I have to say it is not for me. I'll stick to kickboxing/Tae Bo if I want to work out my abs vertically, otherwise it's floor crunches for me! - posted by Lennette on 6/9/2011

lots of fun!
I really enjoy this workout. It consists of short (~ 5 minute) intervals, each with a different set of moves - so, it is always interesting. The intervals are physically challenging but, since they are so short, you do not feel like you are going to die - just like you are getting a good workout. The moves are easy to catch onto and just plain fun to do. It is well cued and the overall atmosphere of the video is sunny and cheerful. - posted by rebecca on 5/27/2011

I like this!
When I previewed this I felt ho-hum about it, probably because I get a lot of workouts regularly. It sat on the shelf for a while. When I finally got around to trying it, it is really fun! It is dancey, but if you are choreo-challenged (like me) the steps are repeated a lot and the combos are usually four moves. Easy. It alternates between cardio and standing ab work. My one complaint is the movement isn't continuous; the songs are performed as kind of a routine- at the end they FREEZE and start up again with the next song. I've never seen that before with a cardio workout and it was a bit surprising. Nevertheless, this will get plenty of use in my rotation. - posted by Melissa on 4/23/2011

Fun and effective
If you enjoy dancing and want to tone your abs, this workout is fun and effective. It's a nice change from doing crunches and floor work. I still mix in some floor abs, but this workout is so much fun and really elongates and tones your abs. You're having so much fun dancing that the time flies by. I have done both the 60 minute and 30 minutes workouts. The 30 minute workout just includes some of the segments from the 60 minute workout. If you don't enjoy a little choreography and dancing then you will want to skip this one. It's not difficult choreography, I got it first time through, but I love dance inspired workouts and have been doing them for years. Just watch the clip and if it looks like something you would enjoy I highly recommend it. You will be dancing away calories and toning up those abs! - posted by Brenda on 3/23/2011

awesome
both great cardio work and standing abs. for me, on the floor is difficult right now. i don't find floor ab work effective at my present weight. love this tape. - posted by margie on 3/10/2011

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.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
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.

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

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.
