The Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program is a collaboration between Beachbody and Shaun T. Beachbody was founded in 1998 and has quickly become one of the leading manufacturers of at-home DVD/VHS-based fitness programs including P90X, Slim in 6, ChaLean Extreme, Power 90, Yoga Booty Ballet, Rev Abs, and Rockin Body, to name a few.

The Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program continues the high energy cardiovascular dance oriented workouts shared by other Shaun T programs such as Hip Hop Abs and Turbo Jam.

The Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program is designed as a dance oriented cardiovascular workout program that primarily targets weight loss. The workouts are performed with a moderately high energy level and at a high tempo. For this reason, each of the exercise routines create a high caloric expenditure when performed.

More specifically, each exercise workout forces the individual's body to burn a high number of calories, thus creating an overall caloric deficit. By doing so, individuals are able to safely and effectively lose weight while, at the same time, decreasing their overall percentage of body fat.

Overall, the Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program is intended for individuals that are looking to lose weight, improve their cardiovascular endurance and achieve a more toned and sculpted physique. Hence, for individuals that enjoy performing exercise routines that are dance-based, the Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program may be what you are looking for.

Pros

  • Primarily Marketed as an Expansion Program to the Turbo Jam and Hip Hop Abs Series
  • Contains 4 Exercise Workouts
  • Moderately Challenging Cardiovascular Workout

Cons

  • Dance-Oriented Exercise Routines May Not Appeal To Everyone
  • Requires a Set of Dumbbells

Intent of Fitness Program

The Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program is intended as a fitness program that infuses exercise with dance routines. Similar to other dance-oriented fitness programs, the Dance Party Series is designed to make exercise fun while still achieving the health and fitness benefits associated with performing a cardiovascular workout.

The Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program is designed as a total body workout that will challenge and improve your cardiovascular endurance. In addition, the Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program will also maintain lean muscle mass, tone and sculpt the entire body, and improve coordination, flexibility and balance.

The Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program contains the following:

  • Rockin’ Abs Dance Party Workout
  • Hard Body Dance Party Workout
  • Cardiovascular Groove Dance Party Workout
  • Booty Shakin’ Dance Party Workout
  • 5-Minute Ab Blaster Workout

Primary Areas Worked

The Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program's primary focus is to provide you with a moderately challenging total body workout that will elevate your heart rate to a calorie burning level for the entirety of the workout while exercising all of your major muscle groups via dance-oriented movements. The exercise routines are occasionally sequenced in a manner that will have you performing compound movements that involve more than one major muscle group. Other times, you'll sequence the exercise movements so that you are working one specific muscle group and quickly moving to working another.

Throughout the workouts, you will be challenged to keep your abdominals tucked, and to contract the muscles that are being exercised to increase the effectiveness of the workout. The inclusion of a pair of light dumbbells is designed to add additional resistance to your workout and force your muscles to exert more energy to perform the various dance-oriented movements.

The Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program focuses on exercising the entire body and is directed towards providing a moderate workout for each major muscle group while forcing your body to expend a large number of calories. By doing so, you will achieve a more toned body through a reduction in body weight and a lower percentage of overall body fat.

Program Length/Frequency

The Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program includes four main exercise workouts that require between 30 to 40 minutes to complete, while the bonus Ab Blaster workout can be completed in 5 minutes. The fitness program does not include a workout calendar, as it is primarily oriented towards those who have already completed the Hip Hop Abs or Turbo Jam fitness programs.

This being said, the Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program is ideal for individuals that are looking to add variety to their existing workout routine. It is recommended that individuals that are looking to achieve even quicker results add one of the Dance Party Series workouts to their existing exercise routine at a frequency of one workout session per day, 4 to 5 workout sessions per week.

Effectiveness/Results of the Program

The effectiveness of the Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program is on par with the Hip Hop Abs and Turbo Jam fitness programs. Individuals that perform the exercise routines 4 to 5 times per week, and combine their workouts with a low calorie diet or simply use the Dance Party Series workouts as part of their overall exercise routine, should achieve a reasonable rate of weight loss and a more toned, lean body.

Depending on your baseline level of fitness and how well you adhere to your exercise schedule and dietary regimen, you can expect to lose between 7 and 30 pounds of excess body weight, as well as a reduction in waist size, within a 30-day period.

Equipment/Space Requirements

If you are experienced with any of the other dance-oriented fitness programs from Beachbody, then you will already have a pair of weighted gloves or a set of dumbbells to use when performing the exercise routines contained within the Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program. Additionally, you may consider purchasing an exercise or yoga mat to perform some of the floor movements and plank exercises. You should allow yourself a moderate amount of space in order to comfortably perform the dance routines and exercises. ??????????? ????????????? ??????? ????? ?????? ??? ???? ???????????? ? ????????? ???????. ? ??? ?? ??????? ????????? ??? ? ?? ????????????, ??? ? ? ????? ?????????? ????. ???????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????? ??????? ?????? ????? ??????, ?? ?????????????? ????? ?????? ??????? ?? ?????? ??????. ???? ?????? ????? ?????? ?????? ???? ?????. ?? ????? ????????? ?? ???? ? ???????? 10 ????? ?? ???. ? ???? ????????? ????????, ?? ????? ? ?? ??? ???? ????????.

Physical Requirements

The Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program is accessible to virtually everyone. It is ideal for those who have already performed the Turbo Jam and/or Hip Hop Abs fitness programs and are familiar with some of the exercise movements and how to follow along with the routines.

Those who are new to the dance oriented exercise theme, may find it initially difficult to keep up with. Of course, this can either be encouraging in a challenging way or discouraging; however in the end the learning curve is not difficult.

The Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program is ideal for those who are looking for additional workouts to add to their dance-infused exercise library in order to maintain a high level of variety, and to keep their exercise programs fresh and enjoyable to perform.

Support

The Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program is a Beachbody program and benefits from the following customer service systems:

  • Online FAQ center
  • 24/7 customer support telephone line
  • Email customer service
  • Online live chat support

Cost

The Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program costs two payments of $ 19.95 plus $ 6.95 for shipping and handling. For this price you will receive four main workouts, with each exercise workout lasting 30 to 40 minutes in duration, and a 5-Minute Ab Blaster Workout. The workouts themselves are a continuation of the previous Shaun T dance-oriented fitness programs from Beachbody, which means that those who are looking for additional exercise routines of this nature will find the best value in this fitness program.

Those who are looking to begin a fitness routine that is dance-oriented may want to consider purchasing the Turbo Jam or Hip Hop Abs series, as they offer a more comprehensive fitness program. While the Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program is not explicitly marketed as an expansion program, the lack of a workout schedule and supplementary dietary information tend to make it a complementary program to the Turbo Jam and Hip Hop Abs fitness programs.

Summary

The Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program is designed as an exercise system that promotes weight loss and improvements in cardiovascular endurance through dance-infused exercise movements. It is best to think of the Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program as an expansion program to Beachbody’s more complete dance-oriented fitness programs, Turbo Jam and Hip Hop Abs.

This being said, those that already have a workout schedule in place and are looking to add variety to their existing workout routine will receive the best value from the Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program. However, for individuals that are just beginning a fitness routine and would like to try a fitness program that is dance-oriented, the Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program will provide effective results within a reasonable time frame.

In all, the Shaun T's Dance Party Series fitness program is reasonably priced and designed to promote safe and effective weight loss. Individuals that regularly perform the workout routines will see improvements in their cardiovascular endurance, balance and coordination.
