Editorial Reviews:

For ALL fitness and experience levels.

Inspired by the Indian film tradition of infectiously expressive music and dance comes a sexy, saucy, calorie-burning, full-body workout. Fitness star Hemalayaa leads you in traditional moves that will tone you head to toe while unleashing waves of energy and joy.

The movements are simple—no exercise or dance experience required—but the results are big.

You’ll be getting a cardio, sculpting, and stretching workout while having a blast—and learning moves you'll love to flaunt on the dance floor. Just let yourself go and boogie to the bhangra beat. It’s impossible not to.

Features include audio options (instruction and music or music only) and bonus dance performances.

Summary: Worst dance workout
Comment: Absolutely no sweat and no fun. This video is not a good dance workout or even a good dance intructional video. I will never buy a dance workout again.

Summary: A Mixed Bag
Comment: This is a video I wish I could love, but that just doesn't do it for me. Part of it is sheer silliness - flubbing the lips in the warm-up? - and part of it is that Hemalayaa's narration style bothers me. (It might work for other people, but I find her to be a bit too flip.) There's the occasional odd transition, and the background dancers are sometimes doing something completely different from what Hemalayaa is demonstrating, which is confusing - is it a modification for more/less advanced viewers? is it bad cueing? what?

As far as the workout goes, it's actually pretty fun. The moves might not necessarily be Bollywood, but they've got enough of the flavor to offer something different from a lot of the dance-style videos out there. The moves are generally easy enough for anyone to follow, although people with bad knees may find the emphasis on knee movement to be difficult or painful; it's more high-impact than not, with a fair amount of hopping in the workout proper. There's a lot of repetition, which makes picking up the moves very easy but which can make things a little boring.

Overall, this video is a mixed bag for me. The workout is enjoyable but the narration is not, and the hopping may be a bit much for a lot of people. I'd recommend trying to find this at a local library before buying it, I think.

Summary: This didn't rock my Casbah
Comment: The main dancer is as cute as a bug, but the moves repeat and repeat ad nauseum -- it feels more like high impact aerobics to me which i HATE. It killed my calve muscles too. Constant jumping and bouncing til my teeth rattle isn't my thing. I didn't feel sexy doing it either which surprised me because I thought I'd be a wildy sensuous indian princess aftewards. Go figure! Nice set but I'm giving my copy to the local library. It just didn't have that sharp, intelligent dance snappiness or, alternately, any down-lo sexy flow -- of which I expect one or the other of in a dance video - especially an Indian one! Big disapointment. Too repetitious in it's movement. Unimaginative. I could have swore I'd love this one...

Summary: Workout with a twist!
Comment: Hi all,
I am one of those ppl who reads reviews before buying anything. I was skeptical intially looking at 4 stars for the DVD. I own a lot of Ana brett's( 5stars for most of it) DVD as well, while Ana's DVD was really good, it never motivalted to pop it into the DVD player as much as Hemalaya's did. While I am not denouncing Ana's , I realised 'to each his own'. I prefer Hemalaya's because at the end of her routine , I am sweaty at the same time I am exhilarated. I spend the whole day in that state. She also does this thing she calls 'spinal whip' which actually loosens the spine. I could feel the tension in the spine leave as I do it. All limbs feel loose and strong at the same time at the end of the workout as she incorporates both yoga and aerobic activity into her routines. Though I am not much of a regular to exercise, the DVD makes me feel that I havent 'excerised' as much as I actually have:)- if that makes sense.

Summary: Fun and Sexy
Comment: I have been having fun with this workout video. The first time I did it was with my girlfriends at my bachlorette party before going out dancing. It got us warmed up with some new moves. It includes a lot of gyrating and rolling the hips, which sometimes leaves my lower back sore and tired, but the stomach crunches are great.
