Beachbody Shaun T's Rockin' Body DVD Workout, Dance Workout DVDs, Exercise Videos, Dancing Fitness Guide for Beginners, Seniors, Easy To Follow, Low Impact, 5 Workouts Included

I haven't worked out in nearly a decade, so you can imagine how out of shape I am (was), even though I am not "fat". Rockin' Body is perfect for anyone who wants to get back into shape and/or prepare for a more extreme type of workout. Shaun T is a wee bit goofy in this program (well, it's dance with exercise), but he is highly motivating, shows how to properly do the moves and gives that extra push to keep going. The calendar schedule is set up very well, with suggested workouts for each day...leaving Sundays as "rest" days. First day, it was rather funny since I was trying to keep up while learning the moves. I spent the first 3 days, repeating "Mark, Move & Groove" up to 3 times and then went into day 2 of week one. After that, I was able to keep up for the most part...then I just climbed up where I was doing up to 2 days of workouts for each day and skipping the "rest days". It's a great program (that you can go at your own pace) and quite fun...giving a nice cardio with some moves for strengthening. This has definitely helped prepare me for a more intense workout program. I've heard Shaun T is not as "goofy" in his other programs T25 and Insanity, but keeps the same motivating style and push forward. Since I do like that about him, I just may purchase one or both of those higher priced programs. What I really love about Shaun T's style the most is that he incorporates moves that work the muscles too, but without straining them. His moves just work it all through...when you feel like you are burning, the next move helps relieve that burn; while working something else. He's awesome...and gives a good sweat. For the price, and somewhat of an intro to Beachbody's more intense/popular programs (and Shaun T), Rockin' Body delivers much more than expected. It does have some commercials for their supplements and such between workouts, but it's easy enough to hit "menu" and select next workout. The music wasn't "bad", but not quite my style. After I got the hang of the moves and was able to follow along, I just played my own music and jammed through it. (I never expect the perfect "music" in any exercise or workout video...not worth removing a "star") I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is starting out, needs to get back into shape and even those who need to lose some weight. It's definitely not "boring".

UPDATE**** 4 months later, I've lost a total of 23 pounds, 9 pounds since my last review! Thanks Rockin' Body. It's definitely been harder losing weight with the holidays and parties and gatherings etc., but I've stayed consistent with my workouts and diet enough to lose an additional 9 pounds since October. -------- Rockin' Body is my first Beachbody workout DVD. After seeing infomercial after informercial on the newer products, like T25 and Insanity, I looked more into what Beachbody offered on Amazon. Then I learned of Rockin' Body. It looked fun, easy to pick up, but still good enough of a workout to burn a sweat. Two months later, I've lost 14 pounds! I'm very happy with this result. RB was the workout I needed to kickstart my weight loss. Shaun T is just so energetic and lively during the workout, it's hard not to stop and take a break! In addition to adding RB to my exercise routine, I adopted a much healthier lifestyle with a nutritious, low calorie diet. I also combined different exercises in addition to the RB schedule. I definitely could have more if I was stricter on my diet during vacations, birthdays, outings with friends, etc. but even so, I'm not rushing my weight loss. 14 pounds in two months is a great start, and I know if I keep at it, my weight can only go down from there! My thoughts on each workout: Mark, Move, and Groove - 15 minute workout to familiarize you with the format of the DVD workouts, such as combo buildups, transitions, etc. I only used this workout once on the first day, as there isn't much to it besides being an intro. Use as needed to get familiar! Party Express - 25 minutes. One of my favorites for when I'm pressed for time. I break a good sweat in less than half an hour! Disco Party - Love this workout! It's fun to hear disco classics in the background and helps you enjoy dancing/moving - you don't even notice the time go by! Shawn's Dance Party - 45 minute dance workout. This is a lot of fun and keeps you moving the whole time. You'll see familiar moves in this workout from Party Express and Disco Party, so it makes it easy to transition from combo to combo. Rock Your Body - Cardio/strength workout with some classic rock in the background. This one uses weights and the first time I did it, I was sore the next day! It's the most intense workout of the series. Booty Time - 30 minutes, focuses on shaping your legs/behind. Lots of jumps and I still find it challenging after two months. It is a good workout and you will feel the improvement back there...seriously! Hard Core Abs - 10 minute core workout. It's so short that you can add it onto any of the aforementioned workouts, but intense enough to more a difference on your body in such amount of time. Rockin' Body is a fun workout DVD. It's not super high impact, but you combine workouts in different ways (or follow the schedule), you can easily workout your whole body. It's great for beginners or people who need a new workout in their routine. I plan to continue using RB. I will forever credit this DVD with helping me lose those first few pounds, and hope to build up my body to handle Insanity or P90. RB is helping me get there! Give this workout DVD a try. You won't regret getting in better shape...and what better way to do so than by dancing? :)

I love it. Easy to follow and amazing workout! Especially the strength training.

I like the workouts, very energetic Sean T keeps you motivated throughout. I like the options of work outs time permitting. Very well thought out routines, would highly recommend this DVD!!

Nice product

Very good! My mom loves it.. if she can get pass the harder stages I would be surprised.

This dvd was such a disappointment. Filmed onstage rock concert style. Weak workout. Terrible production. Doesn’t compare to Cize which is a fun and good workout. Just bad.
