I love testing home workout videos and circulating them in my fitness routine, however sometimes it starts to jade you towards certain product lines. When I saw the infomercial for this video I was just getting interested in tango and salsa dancing and had started taking lessons at a local pub. The idea of working out to such lively music and incorporating what I had learned in class into my workout had me very excited to try it out. Besides, I find my bum to be a little flat and hate doing squats...so off to my computer I went to place the order.

The DVDs arrived with terrific bonus items such as a resistance band, travel cards, etc. and I was very anxious to try it out. My initial reaction to the tummy tuck program was that I was going to die or get ripped abs, which is a great response if you think about it. However, the bread & butter of this series is supposed to be "bum bum" and "cardio axe". These are the programs that were advertised to be dancing productivity.

While cardio axe did get my heart rate up, the moves were quite lacklustre and I was very bored with the program. I pushed myself to complete it, easier with the running progress bar at the bottom of the screen, but was not working as hard as I would have had I actually enjoyed it. The Latin music used for the program is also not what I expected from the infomercial.

Bum bum leads you through a series of focused exercises that assist in building up the major muscles in the bum, obliques, and tummy. While effective and in many cases challenging, I still felt mislead regarding the energy level of the program and the music selection.

Since the first 2 months of owning the program I have only used bum bum twice and cardio axe a handful of times when i was too bored of other options.
