Skinny Bitch Booty Bounce (DVD)

I own the other two Skinny Bitch DVD's, and I was very excited to learn about this one, as it is almost completely cardio.The first thing I can say is that this is a really fun video. I love to dance...I go dancing all the time, so I knew I would like this. The second thing I can say is that you WILL get a good cardio workout. I am not an easy person to please when it comes to working out...but when I was finished with this video I had an elevated heart-rate, sweating profusely and a great big smile on my face.They don't promise to be professional dancers, and it's clear when they miss a few steps, but they just keep going, and you can tell they had fun while making the video.This video will add to my exercise success...with Skinny Bitch Boot Camp I definitely feel the burn. With Skinny Bitch Body, I can target individual areas (and because of this have already lost inches in my hips, thighs and belly--and that's after doing this video for 4 weeks). With Skinny Bitch Booty Bounce, I get a fun cardio workout while being able to dance the fat & calories off my body.

I was so excited to do this workout, and I was EXTREMELY disappointed. The instruction is terrible, they don't teach you the steps, they just jump right in to the dance moves (many that I have no clue how to do), and they don't count either, so I was LOST!The music was terrible too! If there was at least good upbeat music to go with the workout I would have been more inclined to get through the workout.Bottome line... don't waste your money!

I rarely review items, but I hope to warn others who actually want a real workout not to waste their money, as I did, on this DVD. I hate workout tapes that start with instructors who waste my time introducing themselves, their philosophies, and in this case, urging women to love their bodies. For instructors who are really insistent on this, I prefer the ones who put "Instructor Information" as an option at the end of the video, as, for example, Jazzercise or even Tae Bo. Fade out, fade in, and good grief, they introduce themselves again! How dumb do they think we are? They waste 4 minutes of my workout time with blah, blah, blah.Their ballet-influenced warm-up supposedly is free flowing and they are to make up their own names for their moves, but as time goes on, they do use ballet terminology, but who cares? NO CUEING! EVER!!! Throughout the who tape, no advance notice, no explanation, no correction or warnings of right or wrong ways to move. After some swooping around, the bitches said we had just finished a really HARD ballet warm-up. (Who did? I sure didn't).Next, they continued barefoot with the 80's jam or dance or whatever. The music was uninspired and hard to hear, and the bitches had no sense of rhythm at all. They appeared unable to count down to start a new set, and couldn't keep the beat throughout the whole set. But my greatest concern was that during this higher cardio set, bare feet were maintained. Hello! You don't do ponies, 4 to the right and 4 to the left with bare feet! Ever hear of shin splints? Granted, that was about the highest cardio movement for that song.The next uninspired dance was to be hip hop, and I couldn't stand it. I was 30 minutes into this "workout" and wasn't even breathing hard.The Skinny Bitches really know their stuff and veganism and nutrition! No contest! But Patrick Goudreau, you should be ashamed to be even associated with such a mess! Shame on you!Follow their diet if you are willing, but pass on this worthless "workout"!

I must be in the minority here, but I totally loved this DVD. Once you get the hang of it, it's really a lot of fun. Except for a few ballet plies and leg lifts in the warmup, the whole DVD is cardio. It makes a nice low-impact beginners workout. I paid about $6.00 dollars for my copy including shipping. I have the Skinny Bitch Boot Camp DVD too. It's also really good. I wish the girls didn't talk so much in the beginning. It gets old after awhile. I simply fast forward over that part. I would say the whole workout is about 50 minutes. If you're just getting started, or you need an easy day, this is a good DVD to have in your collection.

It's a very low impact DVD, definitely not my favorite.I think it might be good for people who are just trying to start exercising or those who would like to move a little without sweating much :)I bought it because i've read their book "Skinny Bitch" and LOVED it! And honestly if you follow the guiding principles of the book you will be in great shape without exercise or this type of low impact would be enough :)

I worked up a sweat, but it was a mild one. Was under the impression that there would be some good music to jam to and a lot of shaking and bouncing similar to my MixxedFit classes, no such luck. Just typical workout music that you would find in an old school workout video. I like the attitudes of the girls though, good messages and not too annoying like some trainers can be - they might need a little more training to be trainers, but they are geared in the right direction.

This DVD is GREAT! The two women hosts on here are HILARIOUS! You can really tell that they are friends by the way they banter. I have never laughed when working out before! Not only am I getting in shape I am having fun too, and that is really important!

Don't waste your money on this, unless if you're really good at picking up movements quickly. I had just gotten it in the mail yesterday, but sent it back today. This is definately for more advanced users. They move fast, and don't even break down to show you what you're supposed to do. If you're good at things like this -- I say, go for it ... but if not, don't even worry about it, because it wouldn't be worth it.
