GoddessLife: The Goddess Workout with Dolpina (DVD, 2004, 3-Disc Set)

I like this series of belly dancing/fitness DVDs. It is fun, even when I can;t keep up, but I am doing it for fun and fitness and I am a bit of a cluts to begin with, so it's not her.

I like how she empowers women with telling us we are goddesses while we are doing the work out. As a woman, it is good to hear those empowering words. One woman reviewing this did not like the goddess talk. But it is called "the goddess work out" So I don't feel the title is misleading. If it was called the bible work out, though would be a whole diffrent thing. So in my review I wanted to make it clear that belly dancing is pre-christain and she has a pagan name and the work out is called "the goddess work out" so pagan refences may be used. Actually they are not used an overtly amount, not to me. And you can always see it as the mother Mary when she is talking about goddess. Mother Mary was a strong woman.

The work out is a lot of fun. made me feel bits of my body I didn;t know where there. It is funny how small movements can work so many parts of your body.

I bought this, because I missed it. It was taklen from me some time ago and with a New Year, I wanted to have something I enjoied working out to. And this is definatly something I enjoy getting my body moving to, even if I am uncoradinated.

I had bought one of the DVDs to try it years ago, than decieded I liked it so much I wanted the set. So I passed the first DVD I bought on to a freind. And I have recommended this DVD to many women freinds who wanted something that wouldn't bore them. And with the key to keep workling out is to have fun, this is a good one.

I bought the DVD because I needed a workout and I want to learn a bit about belly dancing. I'm a beginner and I think it's a wonderful combination of the two! However, the camera seems to show Dolphina's hips and face a lot... so much that I get a bit frustrated trying to do the moves and I can't see what she's doing... But this is only in the Introduction video. The rest is great :)

I wanted to learn to belly dance and get my tummy back in shape. Dolpina gives great instructions that are easy to follow (with practice) and have noticed a difference in my tummy in just 1 week with daily practice. I am still on the first DVD,and plan to be for a few more weeks. I want to get it down pat before moving on. It's so fun to learn. I have alot of back problems and it has NOT bothered my back at ALL. I truly love this set of DVD's. Highly recomended!

This workout is definately off the beaten path where workout dvds are concerned. It has really been fun to learn a little belly dancing and I don't have to feel self-conscious, because nobody's watching! It is very easy to learn the moves and feel like you're really doing it. As far as the exercise aspect, it's not a heavy-duty workout for me. Perhaps as I get better at it, it will be a little more challenging. I have to say, I do notice that my body feels stronger and I have more energy to run around and play with my kids, which is great! I give this dvd four stars!

This is a great DVD to learn some belly dancing basics. It's easy yet I can feel it working at the same time. It moves fast so it doesn't get boring. The only thing that kept it from been rated an excellent is sometimes the instructor wears longer skirts to teach & so you can't see exactly what her legs are doing. I would recommend this DVD to anyone!
