Great Workout for anyone I thought this was going to be cheesy and stupid, since I am 26 years old. It was surprisingly entertaining and I had trouble keeping up with the moves. It was a very hard workout for me. I was entertained by the dance moves, and laughed at Barbie dancing, which kept me moving. My only complaint is that they don't break down some of the dance moves and I had trouble following some of it.
A Great Video to Workout With I remember when this video first came out(that s a VERY long time ago). I loved it then, I love it now. It really is one of the only things that gets me to workout. I think kids of all ages will like this video.
I enjoyed it when I was youner! When I was in the 4th grade I saw it at Blockbuster & I asked my mom to get it for me. I enjoyed it. I would not give this to a baby, but I think that fitness promotion is great especially since this is the age of video games. Too many people are overweight in our society and if this is something that would promote health is young people then I am all for it.
bad I hate the girls in this video. They are ultra-skinny (looks like their parents keep on denying them food), have smiles too big to be true, and they are unnaturally pretty. Barbie never seems to get tired, if she was a REAL human she would tire out halfway though this junk. Everybody seems to have been taking a TON of stimulants. (Like the other reviewer said) Why do they have to make Barbie totally perfect? My eight year old cousin watched this and she hates it too.
Hope I did some help,

I'm almost 21 and I still love it! I honestly don't know what all the negative reviews are about. It seems a lot of people here are saying it's impossible to keep up with the moves and that it's easy even for an adult to get frustrated. Okay, first of all, I think my mom bought this tape for me when I was 9 or 10 years old. The minute I put it into my VCR and started in, I adored it. I got hooked immediately. I have always been overweight, ever since childhood, and even then I had no problem keeping up with it. Now, maybe that's because I just love to dance in general, but if a heavier kid like me could do it, I think anyone can. Of course, I would never give it to a 5-year-old and expect them to do it, but if you're a little older, like maybe 9 or 10, I don't see it as being an unreasonable workout.
That illustrates another point. This video is all about dance. It's about jumping up and down, to the right, to the left, to the back, to the front, all over the place. They don't stop for a break, they keep dancing up a storm for the whole 30 minutes. I would say that 9 is a good age to introduce it--by then most kids are more coordinated and have developed more mobility. Some might have to just sit and watch it a few times at first if they are less experienced with dance, but come on, it's Barbie--you'll be able to pick up the moves after watching a couple times. Most of them involve jumping in the air, jogging sideways, swinging the arms, marching wide....not too tough.
I'm serious--I have always been overweight, and I never had difficulty with this video. It really is a lot of fun. The sets are very bright and it gets you pumped up. I am so glad I hung onto this tape. I brought it back to college with me, and now that I am nearly 21 years old, I plan to do it daily, especially with these long winter months coming up. I mean, yeah, I feel a little silly closing my dorm room door and turning on this video with about twelve little kids dancing in a fluorescent pink background, but I say that if you're working up a sweat and moving around, there's no shame in that. It is by no means inappropriate for adults. It's a hot ticket and if you are looking for something different to work out to, I recommend you rent this or buy it. It will help you get in shape and lose some weight just as much as Tae-Bo would--and it will most likely give you something interesting that you will enjoy
