4 Stars A nice mellow workout
This DVD is a nice addition to my collection of dance workouts. It gets me moving, but is pretty low impact. I love the instructor. She is very upbeat with out being unnaturally or annoyingly so!
4 Stars Mosting standing cardio/toning for abs
YogaGirl wrote a grew review on the content & feeling of the dvd.
The amazon clips are helpful as the trailer doesn’t show you the content, but the second one shows you part of the wonderful warm-up that when it finally builds up the the full movement, really stretches out your lats, shoulders, spine, etc. The third clip shows you one of the, what I would call “free dance” as it’s not dance moves (other then step touches & occasional hip circles), but it is more fluid then just aerobics. You’d better like these kinds of moves as it’s the main bulk of the workout & it feels very repetitive. But it DOES work. My abs were killing me the next day.
Kimberly Mullen’s standing dance/aerobics pace felt a bit fast to me, but she has grace & fluidity. What’s odd is she does do a small amount of pilates, but each movement/pose is done so quick, she’s done before you can fully get into it almost, it’s like an afterthought. I actually wished she did more, as her holding plank & bridge w/lifted legs was over before I could even feel anything. It’s also thrown in between a lot of the standing aerobics as a break, but it seemed a little disjointed the way it was done.
Kimberly Miguel Mullen seems friendly & positive, she does have great presence as you can tell she does enjoy what she’s doing which keeps you motivated.
Menu options:
Sound – Usual instruction & music or just music, biography of Kimberly Miguel Mullen & Composer Justin Michael & 4 trailers of other workouts.
Workout – Warm-up (5 min), Curvy Core (20 min), Sexy Sculpt (20 min), Cool Down (5 min) I can’t tell you what difference curvy core or sexy sculpt has other then the latter repeated the same moves, but added hip circles w/the stepping & a few VERY simplified latin moves.
Bonus – Playful dance from “The Bollywood Dance Workout” (5 min) & Samba de Roda from “Dance & Be Fit Brazilian Body (8 min)

4 Stars Great workout … but…
THe work out was ok if you are beginner… Poor cueing … I would recomended if you don’t use it as your only workout.
5 Stars Outstanding – What a Burn, it is true-You sweat your butt off.
What more can I say, these Dance and be fit DVD’s with Kimberly Mullen are great. OMG, I am so sore right now. This is my third review of her DVD’s. I worked my butt off, her energy keeps you so motivated, a calm, enlighting spirit transends through her dance. I could barely keep up, but just like with her first DVD the Brazilian Body, I was able to catch on in no time. The music, exotic movements, grace and form, makes you work harder to master it. I almost died getting through it, and what a sweat I was able to work-up. When I was done, I felt like a million bucks. You won’t ever catch me in a gym again, No way this is it for me. I will dance myself into maintaining good health and wellness. Loved it.
