Just Jhoom!, like Kukuwa, has provided instruction and a break down of the movements, but they've kept them separate from the routine itself. It is, quite simply, boring.īut indie workouts seem to understand this. You can't ignore it and keep dancing, either, because you'll be out of time with the music, which leaves it all culminating into an unbroken two minutes right at the end. After four or five uses, you know the moves, and having to be reintroduced to them after every minute of a 10 minute workout, it slows that workout down, drags it out, and is kind of frustrating when you just want to work in some fun cardio through dance and you're being stopped so frequently. Something that seems to go over the head of the larger fitness titles is that, while instruction is undeniably important for dance workouts, you don't want to have to go through that instruction every single time you use it. I recommend this method for every dance workout DVD. This minimised frustration and kept the DVD fresher for longer, rather than trying to take it all on at once. I didn't feel the need to try the third routine until my third use of the DVD, and the fourth routine on my fifth use. And that also secured me a 32 minute workout (each routine is 4 minutes long without instruction, give or take 10 seconds). By that point, I was relatively comfortable with the moves, I was having more fun because I wasn't flailing around cluelessly, and I was sweating so much more than I expected. On my first use of this DVD, I played the first routine 3 times, then the second routine 3 times, then I repeated the first again, but once, and then the second once. I like to run through a single routine about three or four times before trying the next. Replay the first a few times over, get to grips with it - they usually only last a few minutes, so it'll be over before you really get a chance for it to sink in. What I find works best with new dance workouts is this: focus on one routine at a time. As long as you keep moving, you'll still get a workout, and every time you do it, you will get a better grasp over the moves. I grasped it quickly after that.īut it is so important to remember with dance workouts that you're not performing it, so if you don't get it right, it doesn't matter, just keep moving, and as weights aren't involved, form isn't a safety issue either. There were, unsurprisingly, a few movements that I couldn't grasp without instruction, such as the Boomerang in Ainvayi Ainvayi, the second routine in the workout, and I did have to return to the initial break-down to work it out. That said, the moves on this DVD are quite unlike any other I've used, and yet I was still able, for the most part, to skip the instructional break-down and learn from the routine instead. I've used a lot of different dance workouts over the years, so basic moves are ingrained. But if you're looking for a workout featuring the high-energy dance routines you've seen in Bollywood films, then Just Jhoom! is for you. Most 'Bollywood' dance workouts out there are just belly dancing, and if that's what you're after, then that's great. But while Just Jhoom! promises 'Indian dance moves, Bollywood music and yoga-inspired strengthening exercises to make sure you get a really good workout without even realising you are working out', from a look across the market, every competitor claims the same. Just Jhoom! is a Bollywood dance workout mirroring the wonderful routines in Bollywood films, which are sure to be the very reason you're reading this review. So when I saw The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - up until a month ago, the closest thing to a Bollywood film I'd seen - and the dance at the end, I had to find out if there was anything on the fitness market that could scratch the sudden itch. But even so, after four years of fitness blogging and trying so very many different things, dance has remained a favourite, if one I don't indulge very much. It's where I started when trying to lose weight because I thought it was either run, swim, cycle or dance, while weights were reserved for men. Lord of the Dance is a guilty pleasure of mine.Īnd while dance has never been something I wanted to do with my life, I can't resist a good dance workout. The more feet, the more bodies, the more engrossed I become. I'm not sure what it is, it's just something that always enraptures me, especially if it's synchronised.
