Movie Reviews of Core Training for Belly Dancers
Movie Review: This is the abdominal DVD I've been waiting for!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's perfect! I like that the basic workout is simple and short for those times when I'm on the run and is great for a "crunchtime" workout. I am especially pleased that it has so many modifications further on in the program.
I really appreciated the demo models (who are working bellydancers) - I always get demoralized when I get a tape that has these rippling, 21 year olds who look like they don't have an ounce of fat on them and never have. It was important for me to see a realistic presentation of what I can expect from following the program.
The insert is fabulous - I enjoyed reading about each dancer and what they've gained from the program. It's also handy to take with you if you're going to be on the road and do not have access to the DVD.
I've been doing the basic workout for about 2 weeks and have been rewarded with more definition in my mid-section, my backbends are becoming easier (because my abs are stronger) and my belly rolls are much more visible! I'm looking forward to seeing how it's affected my dancing in a couple of months.
Nit-picks:
1. The soothing voice-over. At one point Gerson leads an exercise. I'd prefer his voice instead of the lovely, even-toned voice over. I like the commanding tone of personal trainers ;-) But that's a personal preference.
2. When I play the DVD in my computer, the sound is warbly. Plays fine in my DVD player. It's probably my computer.
Summary: You don't have to be a dancer to benefit from this workout, if your abs are 'less than perfect' in any way, then buy this DVD - you won't regret it!
