 Nice Hip Hop Throwback
The MTV Grind Workout: Hip Hop Aerobics is a decent video if you like hip hop and putting small moves together to form a dance routine.
The instructor Linda Nader is upbeat and not overly irritating, she tries to show you all the steps as simple as possible and then jumps right into the move. The dancers are extremely annoying (especially the Danielle chick) as they get their moment in the sun by hitting the moves with too much extra effort, proving they are professionals and making you feel inadequate because you can't dance as good as they do. Eric Nies has no reason for being there (maybe just eye candy) because most of the time he is not in sync with the steps and he seems like he doesn't know what moves are going to be next. (He must've missed a couple of rehearsals!)
The complete routine consists of a lengthy warm-up, the actual dance sequence and a cool down followed by an ab workout, which I haven't even bothered to look at yet. The warm-up has lunges, stretches, foot taps and hamstring pulls while the dance number takes you back with moves such as the pepperseed and the "Creep" from a TLC video. The cool down has you balancing on one foot along with other moves that effectively bring your heart rate back down.
Overall, the video is great for someone who is just getting back into their exercise routine and wants to rev it up a bit. But for me it was just too much because I am completely out of shape and I need something extremely low impact!
 Hadn't been able to find it
I'd been looking for this for years, finally found it. I still love it! Great condition too.
 A "Hip Hop" down Memory Lane
Years ago, in the 80's and 90's, I loved dancing and I invented dance moves on my own. 20+ years later I don't do that anymore and my body shows. I still "got rhythm". I dug out this video, afraid I couldn't keep up. I was able to keep up with most on the first try and when I couldn't, there are visual reminders to keep moving at their pace. I definitely got a heart workout without getting overwhelmed. I like that the ab workout is separate from the aerobic workout. Basically, you can do the ab workout when you aren't worried about "keeping up" with fancy and quick moves. I also liked that the different dancers had their own emphasis while the instructor stayed on the exercise track.
My only complaint would be that the music could have been louder. If you're going to simulate a club, then the music would have a more sublime effect. Overall, still a lot of fun and good for you.
I miss old MTV workouts...
Even though their Yoga and Pilates series videos are good, I miss the MTV hip-hop inspired cardio workouts! I wish they would make some new ones. :( I disagree with the reviewer that thought the instruction was poor. I followed along with no problem. The choreography may take you a couple of times doing the video, but that's common with dance workouts. I really like the music they use, tracks by Coolio and Naughty by Nature for example. The only thing that bugged me was the marching in place between moves. I think they needed to keep the intensity up higher, but I guess you can do that on your own. This video is about 50 minutes long.
Fun and works!
The workout is alot more fun than any other exersise videos or dvds I have! The music is definitley reminiscent of the mid 90's , but all the songs are still great. The dance moves took me 2 or 3 workouts to totally get down, but it's interesting and always gets my heart rate up. It's alot better than the soundtracks of most workouts.
