Today's Review: Fit to the Hits Motown MovesTamilee Webb, 2002 **** (4 of 5 stars)

This is a 30 minute floor cardio routine led by Tamilee w/ 4 background exercisers. They work out in a nice open space with hardwood floors and blue stairs & pillars in the background.  You wont need any equipment for this w/o. The dvd I have (collectors edition) has a bonus cardio w/o from another Tamilee w/o and it has a music only option.

This dvd features songs such as "heard it through the grapevine," "Uptight," "Signed, Sealed Delivered," "Cant' Help Myself" and a few other Motown songs. The moves are straight forward floor cardio- its a bit dancy- but I definately would not say its a dance w/o. Some of the moves include: mambo, grapevine, cha-cha's, marching/ jogging in place, V steps & variations, pivots, step touch, etc. She makes good use of space- and keeps you moving front to back & side to side to up the intensity a bit.

This is a great, fun, high energy workout. The selection of music is awesome but the dvd I have the music is almost too low to hear over Tamilee's instruction. I will definatley be using the music only option next time. I really do wish the music was louder- since thats kind of the point of this w/o. Having said that- I do enjoy the w/o and think it would adapt nicely to a rebounder. I used weighted gloves & added some plyos & arm movements and got a solid intermediate w/o. Done as is I would say this is a high beginner w/o. Tamilee is a great lead and her cueing was spot on. I received this dvd from Natural Journeys for my review.

Today's Tip: 2. Weight Loss Tip #2 - Avoid sugar

We were all brainwashed to believe that eating fat makes us fat — but get this, eating sugar makes us fatter. Not only is sugar addictive, but it also will halt weight loss in its tracks. Your blood sugar will soar, and your body will automatically cease burning fat. More on The Firm Direct here.
