Lots of fun!
This delightful fitness program is based on go-go dance which originated in the 1960's popular in nightclubs. Go go dance is typically danced in high boots.
If you have never danced "GO-GO" before, Angie makes it easy by including a GO-GO Dance Encyclopedia in which the movement vocabulary used in the entire workout program is demonstrated. This can be done by anyone in or out of boots because the movement is simple-like the twist or grapevines done at a fast pace and then layered with arm movement. Following the introduction of go go dance and its elements such as posture, proper warm up, I followed along taken in by Angie's cute costumes and boots only to soon feel the high impact, pumping up the heart rate and breaking a sweat!
The two workout sections are nonstop and definitely work out the entire body.
Section one: Cardio-Go Go: Full body workout that evolves into a full dance routine to the music of Los Straitjackets with rapid movement switches...
Excellent, fun workout!
This is the first DVD workout that I actually enjoy! Angie's positive attitude is infectious, the moves are fun and the music is fantastic! So much better than the usual elevator techno of other workout DVDs.
My only complaint is a minor one. She does have a how-to section for each move, but they're run through rather quickly. It feels more like an intermediate instruction than beginner. I have a hard time keeping up! That said, as long as I keep moving, it's a great workout!
Fantastic, fun and there's even fringe.
This has been a great addition to my dance aerobic dvd rotation. It's a quick workout and a fun way to get your heart rate up. Angie is adorable. She is great at teaching the individual steps in the tutorial section and it feels like your working out with a friend. I hope there will be more workouts in the future. I love the music and the style!
My only wish is that there was more additional steps in the cardio go go section. Angie keeps building on the first steps and when you learn a new step, you start from the beginning again. I like the layout in Shaun T's Rockin' Body, he builds a combination of steps over the course of several minutes, moves to new combination then combines them all for a complete routine at the end. Just a personal preference.
The Go Go Box section incorporates more dance styles. Now I just have to get a pair of my own go go boots. Thanks Angie, I look forward to more workout dvds from you.
