Fun Fun Fun!

This workout DVD is pure fun. Anybody and everybody can do it. The hour passes real quick with this DVD. Some dance moves are hard but if you practice and can do them, then you can use them when you're out dancing!

I Love Cardioke

I first viewed Cardioke via Comcast On Demand. I was looking to buy a workout DVD and checked out the ones available in the Fitness section of On Demand. I came across Cardioke and had to see what it was about. I loved it from the start. After viewing it On Demand a few times I had to buy it. Cardioke is a lot of fun. You don't even realize how hard you are working and before you know it the DVD is over. What I also like most about it is the people on the DVD. They are average everyday people - men, women, kids, young and old. They are all different shapes and sizes. They are average people like me who are trying to lose weight and I find that comforting. I recommend this DVD for anyone who wants to have fun while working out.

Best at home workout

I have tried many, many workout videos and I just love this one. I just got done doing it for the second day in a row and I can not wait to do it again tomorrow. If you are a stay at home mom (like me) this will be great. My kids never let me do a work out video they are always jumping on me and climbing on me while i am trying to get the video done, But they love to do this one with me and they can because its just dancing around. My kids are 2 and 3 and we call it dance party time.... Its great for me cause i get a work out and we are bonding and having fun together. I love it Im buying the video for me and probably going to get my sister one too...... Billy Blanks Jr. is going to be a big hit just like his dad when i was younger before kids I used to do the TaBo work outs so when i saw this the name sold me, after doing the video i am know i was not wrong..... Try it and HAVE FUN!!!!!!!

Fun and addicting

I LOVE Cardioke, I actually look forward to working out every night now and before it was an inside struggle I would do it but really didn't want to. Billy Blanks Jr. has great energy and charisma, he keeps you motivated and your mind off the idea of exercise but more on having fun and confidence. The song at the end is beautiful and I can't help but sing along throughout the whole video. I will and have recommended this to everyone I know. What better way to lose weight than by having fun. A+++++++

FUN FUN FUN

I actually look forward to working out with Cardioke. It's fun, effective, addicting and real. Billy Blanks Jr. has great energy and charisma, the kind you can't wait to pop in the DVD player and absorb, I actually found Cardioke by accident. I Seen the name Billy Blanks and always loved Taebo, so I was checking it out. I still love love Taebo but sorry Dad your son has given you a run for your money and I mean that as a compliment.LOL try it you will love it.

Working Out Has Never Been This Much Fun

I first saw this video for free as part of my cable's On Demand programming. From the opening "warm up", I knew I would purchase the video. Billy Blanks and "family" are clearly having fun and it radiates to the viewer. The dance moves are easy to follow and don't require you to be athletic in the least. In fact, most of the particpants in the video are either normal size or a bit on the heavier side. Although I am not overweight and consider myself in good physical shape, I did find I could work up a sweat durning the high cardio routines. Best of all, it invigorated my workout routine by adding something different - the karioke aspect. Yes, you feel a little goofy at first, but once you let yourself enjoy the workout, it becomes part of the fun and it does make the workout a bit more challenging. The bottom line is does it burn the calories? Yes, it does. I wear a
BodyBugg regularly during workouts to find out exactly how much I'm burning. It is on par with most workout videos - about 350 - 400 calories per hour depending on your weight. However, unlike most videos, the time flies by.

I Like It

This is such a wonderful DVD. I saw it on Ondemand and decided to order it so that I could get a full workout. Billy makes you sweat! I appreciate his creativity and never find myself bored with this workout. Finally a workout where everyone isn't a stick figure and there is actually good music I love singing along too!

I ? Cardioke!

OMG. I first discovered Cardioke through my excercise tv on demand and I've been addicted ever since. After testing the waters with the on demand workout I took the plunge and ordered the DVD. Billy is so positive and motivating and I feel like I'm right there in the studio with everyone. I haven't enjoyed exercising like this in a long time. The music and moves can be silly at times but that is what makes it great. Oh, and the dynamic between he and his wife is amazing. All in all it is a very pleasant experience. My favorite thing about this DVD is how you can cater your workout by choosing the segments you do. If I don't have time for the full DVD it is a total lifesaver. I effing LOVE this DVD! Thank you Billy!!

What a great workout!

I found this workout ondemand through my cable network and exercisetv and it is the most fun I have had in a workout in a long time! I've done it three times so far, and can't wait to do it again! I'm even thinking of buying the full length version so I don't get bored with the same four routines. The best part is you can feel the burn and you can sweat it up, but you are having so much fun that you don't want to stop.

awesome!

i just tried this workout this morning when i saw it on demand. It is absolutely amazing. For the first time i found a workout that I love and would stick to. This workout is so high energy and so fun that you dont even realize that you're working out. I was hooked from the start. And what i really love is its not like other work out videos where you see one size of people, in this video theres people of all shapes,sizes, and even ages. The song at the end was veru true, it kind of made me tear up a bit because perhaps maybe i have been a bit hard on myself, and my fiance is the one who has to deal with the outcome and i feel terrible for that in itself, but that song really puts in in perspective for you and its just beautiful. You should love yourself no matter how big you are, but this dvd is amazing and i would recommend it to anyone of any size.

Just fun!

If you like dancing, you will definitely have fun with this video and get a great workout at the same time. While this may not satisfy those looking for a seriously intense workout, if you do all of the short segments you will feel pumped up. The combination of dance moves and singing make this a great experience for all levels. Invite some friends over and pop in the DVD; you'll have a blast!

Great Cardio Workout!

After seeing this workout and trying it out on my local OnDemand service, I had to buy it! I love dancing and singing and the Blanks make it so fun (and easy) to fit an hour of cardio into my day. While it's not the best workout for sculpting and toning, I definitely recommend this as a great cardio workout video for anyone who enjoys singing and dancing.

No pressure

Billy Blanks Jr. and his wife make you feel like success from the moment you push play. They seem genuinely focused on good breathing, good moving, and having a good time no matter your age or size. My husband and I love it and while I love to boogie, he is a classical clarinetist. Go figure! I am getting ready to share it with the fifth graders at my school. I want them all to know its about health and fun, not looks. Billy gets that across. Hope there is more to come!

Because I have Comcast, I am able to workout to the Exercise TV programs and I came across this one and thought I'd give it a try since it was by Billy Blanks Jr. Oh my gosh, I cannot remember the last time I actually had so much fun working out to cardio. I found that having the singing part of it helped me to push through the parts when I was starting to get a little tired. The music was great, but I especially loved the singing talent of Billy and his wife. That song that she sang at the end was just so beautiful. I have never in my life gotten so emotional after a workout. No, it did not hit home for me, because the Lord has continued to bless me and my family. I am a sensitive person and I guess I was feeling other peoples pains. What amazing talent! I hope that Billy and his wife comes out with a fun kickboxing workout soon. Also, I love that they used people in their video that are not already fit and are of all age ranges and sizes. The diversity is wonderful. Keep up the great work and the Lord will continue to bless you on your journey.

You forget your exercising!!

I absolutely love this DVD. It is so much fun and its more like a party. If you love to dance this is the perfect workout for you. This is the 2nd DVD I've purchased. The first was ruined while traveling so I rushed to buy a new one to keep the party going. My 4yr old loves Billy and works out with me all the time. I can't wait for a new DVD from Billy and his lovely wife Sharon.

Excellent!!!! Just had a very difficult pregnancy and delivery. Totally out of shape and looking for something new and fun to get me motivated. Found Cardioke OnDemand and it is wonderful. I never sweat and I am sweating while working out to these routines. I can't wait to do the routine again tomorrow.

Just OK

This was a fun workout with the great music selection, however, I didn't feel it was a very intense enough workout to really do much for me. I am used to DVD's that get me sweating within the first 5 minutes and this one just didn't do it. It was fun, and it was nice to see all different sizes of people doing the workout with you (not like everyone being a size 2!!), I was just a bit disappointed with the shortfall of intensity. I will say, though, my 3 year old son loved dancing to the music while I did the workout.

In my family we are all pretty large :) between 200-300 lbs. This video got us all up off our butts and now we do this at least 5 nights a week as a family. It is so fun and the music is wonderful. I would recommend this video to anyone trying to lose weight no matter how big you are.

This is a fun workout! I tried it on on-demand first, and then ordered the full video. There are parts that are a little cheesy, but it really does make it fun to work out! I would recommend it if you're looking for a simple, quick (45-60 min) workout that's fun and fairly easy.

This is the first exercise video I have bought....and I LOVE it!! It is easy to follow and, more importantly, a lot of fun!! I like the fact that the dancers are not actors but all "normal" people of all ages. It is extremely motivational and you feel like you are right there in the room dancing a long with them. I was surprised to find that they have bonus features as well like ab exercises and a short 2 minute cadence march included in the video. Because the video is so much fun, I look forward to using it.

WOOOOW!! My niece and I starting working out today. We did a mile walk with Leslie and afterward we was looking to see what other exercises we want to do tomorrow; we came across Billy Jr's Cardioke exercise and we exercised through the whole workout non-stop. It was the best workout ever my Mom started moving in her chair. I have never had a workout where I wanted to do more, Thank you Billy and look forward to buying your video.

I am a 60 year old woman that hasn't exercised much in the last 25 years. I decided to give Cardioke a try, and I absoutley loved it! It is so much fun you don't even know you are exercising! But the best part of all is the dance moves that was popular when I was young! I had no trouble getting back into the groove! It has something for every level of fitness, which is very rare these days. You can also modify the moves for your level of fitness or age! It has been the one exercise dvd that has got me back into exercising so I can be a healthy older person. And I also wanted to mention I have a back injury but this dvd helped instead of hurting! Great Job Billy BLanks Jr. And Thanks again for an exercise dvd all ages can enjoy!

Cardioke is a Godsend because it is addictive and effective. I first saw, Cardioke on Comcast On Demand and after three days, I was hooked. I ordered the entire dvd and have recommended it to friends and family. The best part is the cool down with the song," You are Enough." This song is a motivational and inspirational booster!

LOVE this workout. I enjoy the way it keeps you moving, the steps and moves are not so complicated that you just want to give up. Even on the first try, though I missed a few steps I was able to catch up and keep moving. Worked up a sweat and got my "cardio on" without realizing it. The warm up and cool down are also great because Billy just "does it" without making a big production of it. Seamless warm up, work out, cool down. YEAH!

I LOVE this DVD! It has great music, great instruction, the moves are easy...easy enough for the beginner but will keep intermediate/advanced customers entertained. A total body workout...from the warmups, to the beginner/advanced cardio workouts, ab exercises, & cool down. I hope Billy Blanks Jr comes out with a new Cardioke DVD soon!!

My 16 year old daughter does this workout with me and we both have a great time. The routines are fun, the music is upbeat and keeps you moving, the instructions are easy to follow. I love it!

This one is fun. Pretty good for someone who is trying to accept their body as it is. No talk of burning fat or other body bashing comments in the cardioke section. You will get a pretty good work out too. The song at the end is beautiful and very affirmative. So far I don't know of any workout dvd that is intermediate to advanced that does not mention fat burning, etc in the workout.
We are a body hating culture and it would be nice to have a good workout that focuses on the joy of movement rather than the goal of weight loss or toning or burning fat. Enough already! This one is close to being one I would reccomend. He mentions weight loss on the cover of the dvd and he does in other segments as well. That is too bad. Learn about Health at Every Size by reading the book by Linda Bacon Phd to see what I am talking about. Eating disorders are a direct result of our body and fat hating culture. Exercise is good but does it always have to be thought of as a way to burn fat?

OMG! I loved it so much. Great fun and I was sweating! I have been trying to get motivated to move and I'm so glad I gave this a shot. Thank you for putting it on demand, I will by your DVD too. I will admit that I felt goofy at first but it was really so much fun, who cares. I wish I still lived in LA - would go to your class. Best of luck with this - it's awesome.

I love, love, love this workout. Althought I'm still working on gaining stamina, I can't wait to push the On Demand button and get started with a great workout. I'm really impressed by the mix of participates (all ages are represented). Hopefully, he'll create a Cardioke 2, 3, 4 and so on.

I just did this workout on Exercise TV for the first time and I actually had fun exercising for the first time. I'm 49 years old and find the Jillian workouts are a little intimidating for me. Billy's workout included all ages, all body types, and it uplifted me both physically and mentally. After going through a serious recent depression, this workout was just what I needed to help restore both mind and body. Thank you Billy. (Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like meee!)

I loved the workout and the music. The steps are not at all hard to follow like some exercise routines. The workout gets you moving and sweating. It's about time that someone did a routine like this. Great job!!!!!!

This is so fun you dont mind that you are dripping sweat! I have been looking everywhere for a workout I could do with my mid school daughter (who hates exercise). She actually liked this one and does it without complaining!!! She even wants her friends to do it with us. Music is great and cast is energetic which is contagious!

I absolutely love this DVD. I consider myself a beginner - getting back into healthier living including exercise and when I came across this DVD on Exercise TV, I was impressed! I was able to keep up with the instructor and had fun doing it! I liked it so much that I have shared it with friends and family! If you want to get up and get moving and have fun doing it - I suggest you give it a try!

I wanted to like it but couldnt. The cuts in video start/stop was jarring. Half the time the video is on his face and not his moves. And his cues and steps were not in line with what was practiced. In the middle was a free for all -- with no help as a workout. Was hoping for better

In general: I started out doing about 1/2 of the workout onDemand before I bought the DVD. I love this DVD because the music is the most fun of any I've used; and the moves, also fun, aren't too complicated. Also, you know that the sets/reps of knee lifts and such are thought out but you don't have to count;)

On difficulty: After the first high impact cardio segment, it gets tough to gear up for a second one. But there is a dance break and sculpting segment to help the transition. I totally feel it getting easier. Actually, I will be sad when I come to feel unchallenged by this. At that time, I would still do it for fun!

I am so thankful for this video and for Blank's style of training. 4 months ago I had to workout using a senior seated exercise video. There was no way I could keep up with the 24 minute video on Exercise TV (this DVD is 68 minutes). After a month or so I descovered Exercise TV and the Cardioke workout. I loved it so much but it was hard to get through those 24 minutes. Now I am able to do about 50 minutes of the Cardioke video. One thing I really appreciate is that you can pick and choose the song routines you want to include in your workout so you can increase the time spent working out and/or decrease the level of difficulty. If you aren't ready for the faster pace, simply click "skip" on the list. I described the level of difficulty of the workouts at "Intermediate" but Blanks gives advice all throughout on how to take it down a notch if you have knee issues or if you're just not quite ready for some of his moves. This DVD is family friendly, inspiring, and FUN! The "Cool Down" song is perfect and I feel like a million bucks when it's over. I never thought I would EVER say that about a workout because I am so out of shape, so overweight (350 lbs+) that exercise is very hard for me but Blanks makes it ok to scale down when you need to and at the same time he is encouraging you to challange yourself to pick it up a little bit. This video has helped me to get moving and coupled with a much better eating regime I've lost over 40 pounds in the past 4 months. I feel much more stable in my core and more in control of my mobility. THANK YOU BILLY BLANKS JR!!!!

What a FUN workout! Although I was moving practically every moment of this routine with very little downtime, I didn't miss my breaks for stretching or strength because I was having too much fun! His karaoke music selection is diverse and upbeat, and while the dance moves are very cardio intensive, they are relatively easy to perform. I will definitely do this workout in place of my normal cardio routine when I need a fun change of pace but don't want to compromise my calorie burn.
