Dance Off the Inches – 15 Minute Express
The whole point of a dance workout is to have motivating music with it, otherwise what’s the point? Because when I see ‘dance’ in a workout title to me it means non-challenging. However, just to add some fun on days when I need more motivation I like to start with a dancier workout and fun music. This DVD is definitely not it. The moves are so, so and could be modified, but the music is so boring, you don’t even want to. I have never done such a short workout and wished it was over half way through. A complete waste of time.
Even though I consider myself advanced, I own Tamilee’s Motown FitHits DVD and while it is also a non-challenging workout, the music is so much fun that I find ways to modify the moves to make them harder. I have found that there are very few instructors out there that really know how to pick motivating music and it can really make or break a workout.

I had to play this video twice to work up a sweat. If you are new with exercising or have never danced before, this is the video for you. I was hoping to hear great music and learn fun moves. I think this music is the same as Jane Fonda used in her first step videos back in he 80’s! Very boring, very staid.

Dance off the Inches 15 Minute Express is 15 minutes long with warmup and cooldown. There is also a bonus 10 minute dance off that includes some of the dance steps from the 15 minute Express segment. The music was Not great. . . very electronic keyboard-oriented.
Lydia Haskell instructs and she does a good job of cueing. I found the actual dance steps themselves to be pretty basic/boring, unfortunately. And I wasn’t fond the quick step, which seemed to go on forever. The steps just didn’t mesh very well and when I took it from the top, it didn’t feel like a very smooth routine.
This DOTI (and Calorie Blasting Party) use tempo changes from slow to fast so you can get the moves down. If you like to learn your steps slow and then speed up, I recommend Calorie Blasting with Julie Arney over this one.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO! I was looking for something quick and easy to fit in after my daily walks to add to my fitness/weight reduction routines and this is great. It is short and very easy to do with smooth transitions between the exercises. . . I can fit it in just about whenever I want or need to do a workout! I love the personality and teaching style that Lydia has. . . it’s like she a friend almost! I love using this as a way to get ahold on my weight issues and drop those pounds. . . or in other words. . . dance off the inches!

My mother and I have recently started working out to Dance off the Inches featuring Lydia Haskell. It is so much fun and I’m glad we can do it together. I find the dance steps easy to follow and I like the fact that it only takes 15 minutes to do,since I am a busy teenage.
