Ministry Of Sound: Pump It Up - The Ultimate Beach Body Workout (DVD)

A few months ago I bought 'Pump It Up! The Ultimate Dance Workout'. I bought it mainly out of curiosity as I was almost certain it'd be just another Ministry of Sound cash in - but after discovering it was the most original and fun workout DVD I'd come across I couldn't wait (a bit weird, I know!) the arrival of the follow up 'Pump It Up! Beach Body - The Ultimate Summer Workout', which I promptly received for my birthday. PUMP IT UP BEACH BODY Most people should still remember the sexually charged aerobic workout in Eric Prydz's 2004 'Call On Me' video. Pump It Up 'The Ultimate Dance Workout' (from now on called Pump It Up 1) was inspired by ...  Read the complete review

I bought this DVD workout after I decided I wanted to get fit and thought it sounded like a really good idea - dancing while losing weight. Now, I'm not a fit person and don't enjoy exercise, but I'm a size 8 and very slim, and I found this DVD very hard!

I have all of the Ministry of Sound Pump It Up DVDs and I love them all. I love the combining of great dance music, cool dance moves and a good workout that makes you fit. They all have their strengths and weaknesses though. This one is the easiest, it does make me break out in a sweat but it's not too hard. The bums and tums section is good. There are no real dancemoves in this workout, but it's still fun. I decided to you this dvd to lose weight when i was going to thailand and it was really effective. because it was fun to do and didnt exhaust me it gave me motivation to do it everyday and i dropped a dress size in only a few months. this is by far the ...  Read the complete review
