I have never been into the whole 'Strictly Come Dancing' thing , and to be honest never got what the whole fuss was about. However when I heard that the show had a 'fitness' DVD out. It came at the right time ; After all the mince pies and chocolate I'd munched on throughout last year's festive season , I was quite desperate to get back in shape. After looking into all the 'recently-released' fitness DVDs , this particular was not my first choice. That is until I read a review in a magazine , along with an interview with the 'stars' and that is what changed my mind ; this DVD seemed to be the most genuine out of the lot and so I bought it!
As soon as my copy arrived through the post , I ripped through the packaging and placed the DVD in my DVD player , and I was ready to go.
I love the cover of the DVD ; it's so glitzy ...
Advantages: Fun, Great If You Are A Fan Disadvantages: Fast Paced, A Little Confusing At Times.
Having always watched and enjoyed Strictly come dancing on the TV, throughout all of its past series, it is little wonder that a fitness DVD working on the principle of 'Strictly' has appeared on the market.
After Christmas, many of us are feeling the pressure to loose weight and feel great and of course, we buy these DVD's, use them once and then pack them off away as a big mistake, so will Strictly Come Dancercize be any different?
I have to admit, this is the first fitness DVD I have ever bought. As a child and teenager, I had danced tap, ballet, modern, jazz and a bit of ballroom too. The pull of this DVD was that I could learn to dance again (after 9-10 years) and I would be getting fit at the same time. I bought this for £12.99 in my local Morrisons supermarket, but it is freely available everywhere.
