Advantages: Good music, good workout, fun routines

Disadvantages: Hard to follow routines, not for beginners

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 like the fact there is more than one person to follow, although I did concentrate on the main girl in the centre.

It starts off with a warm up, which stretches your muscles and prepares you for the workout.

The workout then consists of different Ministry of Sound tracks with dances to go along with the songs, which makes it a lot more fun than just doing some exercises.

However, my main problem is that some of the moves are really difficult to understand and do. The instructors don't really show you how to do the difficult moves before they start doing them to the music, so you end up trying to learn along the way and not really doing them properly.

I found this DVD really hard - I do have asthma which would contribute - and I could only manage 30mins with two stops during that time too.

I wouldn't say this is a workout DVD for people just starting to exercise, as it is too confusing and quite a hard workout.

However, the following day my muscles were all aching, which means it must be working!

I'll be trying some other Ministry of Sound workout DVDs and then maybe return to this when I'm a bit fitter.

Summary: This is not for beginners, but gives you a great workout!
