EXERCISES-This section includes lots of lunges, squats and leg lifts to help tone you bum and thighs.

WARM IT UP DURATION- this section lasts for about 8 minutes EXERCISES-This section includes lots of stretching exercises and side steps to help you to warm up and to avoid any injury. MY OPINION- I think that this section is an appropriate length of time and it is quite energetic compared to some other warm ups on dvds.
TONE IT UP DURATION-This section lasts about 10 minutes EXERCISES-This section includes lots of lunges, squats and leg lifts to help tone you bum and thighs. MY OPINION- I think this section is great as you can really feel it toning your upper thighs and bum. I do feel that it should have more exercises to tone your abdomen however there are sit ups included in the cool down.
DANCEMIX 1,2,3 In the dance mix section it is split into 3 seperate dance mixes. each dance mix gets harder as there is more complicated moves and the pace is increased. The easiest dancemix is the first one so you should start with it and build up to the second and third. DURATION- Each dancemix lasts about 8-10 minutes. EXERCISES- This section includes a wide variety of different dance moves and aerobic exercises. If you are struggling to keep up you can always go back to the rescue move which is strutting. MY OPINION- I really like the dancemix section as it is really fun and energetic. Also the main dancer gareth shows you the moves before you join in and do them. I do however find the dance mix 3 quite hard to do as it is quite a fast ace and has some complicated moves.
COOL IT OFF DURATION-This section lasts about 5 minutes EXERCISES- This section includes stretching movements and sit ups. MY OPINION- I think that this section is an appropriate length of time as i will often miss the cool off even though i know you shouldn't if it is too long.
DANCERS The dancers are the main dancer Gareth and he has three other dancers which look very attractive and make you want to do the work out so that you can look like them. I do however find the main dancer Gareth a little annoying.
The dvd also includes videos for some of the songs that are in the workout. It also includes a behind the scenes documentary with interviews with the dancers.
MUSIC The music on the dvd includes fedde le grand, booty luv, alex gaudino, mason and eric prydz
Overall opinion I really like this dvd as the music is modern and great fun to workout to. Also the dance moves are really fun once you get the hang of them. However i do find the main dancer a little annoying. I think this is a great dvd to dance yourself fit and the more often you do it the more of the dancemixes you manage to do.
Advantages: Great soundtrack, good toning section. Disadvantages: Not hard enough, dance moves complicated, possible annoying presenter?
...a huge fan of the Pump it Up Ultimate Dance work out with Deanne Berry. The DVD is avaliable for about 11 - 13 pounds at the moment from all good DVD shops and websites such as amazon and play. :)
So first of all, this is a dance work out, though I didn't know what to expect as the first Pump it Up claimed to be a dance work out though is more of an aerobic workout. The first thing that attracted me was the soundtrack! It is really brilliant, features ... ...Energy section on the First Pump it Up.
I can't say a bad word about the Cool it Off section though. There is a brilliant bit on the stoamach, doing lots of crunches with different variations so you defintely feel your stomach is getting a good workout. The coo l off is good too and really helps you to unwind after the painful squats and crunches you've done!
There is also extra on the DVD. You get to find out a bit more about the three girls. ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Pump It Up - Dancemix (DVD)
Advantages: Fantastic music, great location Disadvantages: Annoying presenter
...huge fan of all the Pump It Up DVDS. It's become a yearly tradition for me to buy the new release (I'm more excited about the DVD coming than I am about Christmas!). I was a bit disappointed with this one though, mainly because I find the presenter very annoying. I'm sure he's a nice guy but his voice grates against me and his general presenting is hard to watch. He's very camp and cheesy.
As a workout, it's actually quite easy and not as challenging ... ...off putting.
Saying all that, it's still good compared to a lot of other workout DVDs. The Pump It Up workouts are generally very high quality. You can tell a lot of work goes into the production. They are fun and the Ministry of Sound music is always fantastic. ...

Advantages: You lose weight, Tone your body whilst have fun.. Disadvantages: The dancemoves can be a little tricky and unexplained.. The presenter has a really annoying voice!! ARGHH!!
I bought "Pump it up: Dancemix" from Woolworths for just £9.99 and am so far I am very pleased with the results..
I have been doing the workout the reccommended amout of 3 times a week and i thought to myself.. Its not going to work, they never do and workout DVD's are always so boring!!.. When i first tried the workout it was a little difficult but within 2/3 times of doing it i realised that i had got most of the moves and didnt find them as hard ... ...some very pleasing results and im sure that anybody else who has tried the workout will tell you the same thing..
There are 6 stages to the workout however you dont have to do them all.. yhou can choose which ones you want.. They are:
Warm it up
Tone it up (very good!!)
Dancemix 1
Dancemix2
Dancemix3
Cool it off
I feel that after you have cooled it off you dont feel as if you have just done a really intensive workout!!
I also felt that £9.99 ...

Ministry of Sound
Pump it Up Dancemix - the ultimate dance workout
Price £14.99 from woolworths, widely available at many other retailers and online for around the same price.
This is the latest workout dvd from ministry of sound. Having already mastered the original Pump it up and Pump it up - hi-energy, i decided to update my home workout collection after xmas and Pump it up - dancemix was the obvious choice.
The front cover is inkeeping with ... ...contains a picture of the three girls who do the workout (who by the way are perfect and kept my boyfriend intrested!!).
The back cover contains some quotes about the dvd, a brief summary and the track list.
The dvd has six sections and is presented and choreographed by Gareth Walker. He is a little irritating but i learned to laugh at him and he is obviously good at his job!!
The sections are:
Warm it Up
Tone it Up
Dancemix 1
Dancemix 2
