| Hey gals, has anyone heard of a good belly dancing workout video? I'm already doing Pilates but I need more to firm up my belly even more. I saw on TV the other day that this is good for the legs and butt too so it'd be perfect for me! I'd love a good recommendation! |

I don't know about Belly Dancing videos, but I just ordered Hip Hop Abs. I HATE doing floor work (crunches, etc) and KNOW my abs need some help, so I'm giving this a try! If you find a cool belly dancing one, let me know, I'd love to throw that into the DVD mix!

I have a belly dancing DVD that is a lot of fun but I have no idea about results because I have never had the discipline to do it often. It is called "discover belly dance" with Veena and Neena. Apparently they are well known in the belly dance dvd community. If you would like to try it out just PM me your address and I will send it to you to sample. I also have almost 1, 4 and 5 of Carmen Electra's Aerobic striptease. Those are fun too and not too heavy duty with the aerobic part. All of the DVD's have great warm-ups.

I have that one too. I don't remember it being a very strenuous workout for sure - my arms were used the most but that probably means I wasn't doing it right.  |

My arms hurt so much too. They do a lot of hip work which would be toning rather than aerobic. |

| Hey, thanks Biki! I looked up the dvd on Amazon it's only $14.23 so I think I'll just take the chance and buy it. The reviews were mixed on it, saying that the ladies didn't instruct well enough but that it was still good, it got 4 stars out of 5. |

They are very instructive so don't worry. Worse case scenario they are twins doing the exact same motion. How hard is that to follow??? |

The twins are good for belly dance video's. But if you want a pretty good selection on workout dvd's with reviews, check out www.collagevideo.com . They have staff reviews and customer reviews with a breakdown of how much floor, toning, or aerobic minutes
