Are they serious? - By: Penny and Timmy, 26 Nov 2008 
Got this DVD yesterday & giving it a go for the first time today. Practicallly gave up almost immediately - impossible to follow. So I thought I would see how other people have got on with it & read the reviews - thank you, very helpful - maybe I will try & persevere but not being a very patient person with much time to spare, I think it's unlikely.
My biggest complaint with this - & other fitness DVD's - is that they never have someone doing the routine with their back to you - know what I mean? Not only do you have to try & learn alll the moves but you have to learn them in reverse. Please please fitness DVD makers - we don't need to see your face! I find myself trying to do it by turning the other way round (so I am the same way round as them) & looking over my shoulder - impossible! I think I'll go back to the boring treadmill, trampoline, cross trainer . . .
Lots of fun - By: J. Smith, 14 Nov 2008 
After watching Erin & Karen on Strictly come Dancing I instantly wanted to buy this workout dvd. After using it a couple of times I reallly loved it. The steps can be difficult, so you will need to do it a couple of times each week to make sure you improve. Apart from that I thought it was good value for money, & if you want to feel a burn in your legs & arms after using it, then this is the one for you.
Hard Work But Great Fun! - By: Lizi, 03 Nov 2008 
I love work out DVDs with a dance element. The first time I tried it I was quite frustrated, but with perceverance I am now able to do the workout steps 95% of the time. There are some complicated steps but if you keep working on them they get easier.
I like alll the different dances, the quickstep & jive are definitely the most high impact, but the feeling of accomplishment at the end makes it alll worthwhile. I think if you like dancing & are willing to invest some time, this is a great choice. I found spending a little time on the instructional parts, separate from workout time, helped me refine some difficult steps. If you get stuck initiallly, focus on keeping moving during the workout & then find the relevant section in the instructional part.
A great workout, which works the body... & the mind!
Strictly Come Dancersize - By: S. L. England, 09 Oct 2008 I totallly agree with alll the reviews that say stick with it. This is a fun dvd to get fit to. I do this with a friend twice a week & we have both toned up & feel much better for it.
After watching through a couple of times, we decided to stick to one dance over & over first, then added the others one by one as we mastered the moves. It took us about 6 weeks to master alll of them but the sequence seems to have been done to warm up with the cha cha cha being the least aerobic, the quick step & jive in the middle give you a reallly good aerobic workout. The samba is a good cool down routine but I would still recommend doing the actual warm up & cool down as the stretching exercises are invaluable & stop the aches & pains!
I can't wait for the next one.
The most enjoyable workout DVD.... - By: Wishes she could be on Strictly, 07 Oct 2008 ....it reallly is, especiallly if you are a fan of SCD. I have been using this as a core part of my workout regime since January this year & I have lost four stone (with calorie counting too). One of the key factors in this weight loss programme is that I have been enjoying the exercise, & therefore I am motivated to continue.
This reallly is the most fun - it works you, but you are dancing so you are learning moves to impress your friends at parties etc. I had never learned any kind of dancing EVER, & I find Karen & Erin's tuition pleasant & easy to follow. My feet didn't always do what I wanted them to at first, but it is reallly worth working through the instruction sections a few times until you pick it up.
I exercise in the morning before work, & nothing puts me in a better mood for the day than jive/samba (and the rest is fantastic too). Buy it, stick with it, & you'll love it. I was a confirmed couch potato & it reallly works for me!
