The exercises are broken down into four sections. There is a fast-paced cardio warm up that will help get you into the mood for the three dance workouts that follow. Each dance workout is twelve minutes in length and will help you sculpt and tighten your abs, strengthen your core, have fun and burn calories. The dance workouts can be done by themselves or layered and done one after the other depending on your endurance. This is a high energy dance workout that seriously focuses on building your core strength. Hemalayaa is a very high energy instructor with a bubbling, positive attitude that will keep you motivated and moving. During the workout you have the option of listening only to the music or to the music and instruction. The routines are both standing and sitting so you will need a yoga mat and cushion to complete them properly. Not all of the movements are shown to you beforehand so this dance workout may be difficult for a beginner to follow. Those with a background in belly dance or other types of dance workouts will probably have an easier time of it. All in all, I found this a fun and motivating workout to do. Hemalayaa’s bubbling personality kept me upbeat and interested through the entire routine.Quote:Bid your muffin top bye-bye!~ People.comHer presentation makes it fun ~ The Washington PostThe movements are so swift and sexy.~ FitSugar.comThe answer to banishing belly bulges and muffin tops.~ WomansDay.comA definite keeper and doer.~ Suit Up and Show Up blogThink of this abs-only DVD as your personal trainer for getting rid of the dreaded mommy pooch after you deliver.~ Conceive magazineHemalayaa’s contagious energy and playful demeanor carry through all the workouts. ~ The Arkansas Democrat-GazetteAVI | XviD | 44 mins | 2008 | English | 672 x 368 | 29.976fps | MP3 128kbshttp://www.amazon.com/Hemalayaa-Beautiful-Belly/dp/B0013NAMM…
