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
addictive
I haven't looked forward to an hour-long workout in forever but this one has me hooked. I can see my middle shrinking after just a few workouts. - posted by Renee on 9/26/2009

One of my Favorites!!
I LOVED this dvd!!! It is my absolute favorite Jazzercise workout and one of my all time favorites. It was so much fun to do and I totally felt it all through my abs the next day. It is a really creative way to work your abs other than mundane and often ineffective crunches. I can already see results. It also has a cardio effect which is a nice side benefit. Super fun! - posted by Shelley on 9/5/2009

Very pleased!
I was really pleased with this video. I attended a few Jazzercise classes last year and it was just blah to me. They weren't nearly as intense as I hoped, more geared for beginners. So, I wasn't expecting this be as intense as it was but I'm happily surprised. I was dripping sweat by the end! Each of the short segments were challenging but doable. If you don't like a particular segment, it doesn't last that long and it's through. If you like intense hardcore exercisers this may not be for you. The background exercisers have big toothy white smiles the entire time that just seems a little silly. - posted by Tara on 8/25/2009

Didn't like it!
Hard to follow couldn't even get through the whole thing. - posted by Jill on 8/24/2009

Abs love this one!
I have always loved Jazzercise since it's beginning! (Judi Sheppard Missett you still rock!) This DVD is no exception. My only "small" complaint, I wish Shanna instructed the whole. I simply like her lead better. Her instructions are easier to follow. - posted by Kathy on 8/18/2009

Very intense for abs, if you watch your form
I love, love this DVD, specially 'cause it is an abs workout without having to lay down for crunches. It is very intense for your abs as long as you watch your form and keep your core tight all the time. I am an intermediate exerciser and let's say I don't have a six pack but I'm not a whimp either. I love that it has a good rhythm and although it IS dancy it has a very short learning curve, just how I like. The segments are very well put on and the time just flies with this one! and the 30 min. workout gives you a good sweat too. Just remember, keep your abs tight all the time and you'll get a great workout. - posted by Gabytopo on 8/17/2009

LOVED this workout video!!
I have not done a Jazzercise workout since the 70's (probably hit some of the first classes incorporated!!But - as we grow "older" the ab section really gives problems!! this workout really smacks them upside the head!!! Have done the hour and the half hour segment and both had the sweat running freely - loved the intensity for the abs! Loved the changes so that you don't get bored and the short intervals gives a chance to grab a quick sip of H2O or just get a breath - loved it - OH! I am 75 years old and managed the dance moves just fine. !!!! - posted by Patricia on 8/16/2009

It was fun!
This is a fun workout and I definitely felt it in my abs the next day! I would recommend it to anyone who likes cardio dance movements and standing abwork. Hopefully the next time I do this workout I will get all of the moves down! - posted by Kim on 8/12/2009

Fun & Effective
I bought this video 2 weeks ago and have done either the 30 min. or 60 min. work out everyday. After two weeks, I feel a difference in my abs. I am still having fun with the moves and perfecting the routine to get even a better work out. It is high cardio, so I feel like I am burning a lot of calories as well. Great video. - posted by Jenn on 8/11/2009

Really good aerobic and abs workout
I had high expectations for this workout and it really delivered. I used to take jazzercise classes and this dvd is just as fun as a live class. You work up a sweat instantly. I consider myself to be an intermediate exerciser. This workout was challenging but doable, you feel great afterwards, and it really works your abs in every session. There are approx 6 different segments. Shanna teachers a few, then another girl teachers. I really recommend this workout. - posted by Joanne on 8/5/2009

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.

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.
