Summary: Loved it.
Comment: I to skip the basic workout. Although I cannot jump using the jumprope, I use the handles and I get an excellent workout. I especially enjoy doing the situps at the end. I can really feel it in my abs. I really enjoy working out and its important to find something that you really enjoy doing.

Summary: unfortunately, didn't like this so much
Comment: Thought I would as I'm not like most ordinary people - love jumprope. But there was definitely too much talking.
Also there should be more options provided if you're:
a. not in possession of a jump-rope, or can't use it where you are for some reason
b. not picking up the moves as quickly
c. more advanced moves
I'll use it every now and then - not a total loss!

Summary: Impressed
Comment: I really like this workout! I had my doubts at first with the celebrity hoopla, but don't be fooled. You don't have to use a jumprope to get the full benefits. I kept hitting myself in the face with the rope in my tiny workout room so I opted for cutting two lengths of rope about 1 foot long. It works really well and I'm not hitting myself in the face anymore. It feels good to get such a great cardio workout. I keep getting a better workout each time since I'm getting the footwork down and feeling more confident.

Summary: Excellent DVD - challenging workout
Comment: Who knew skip/rope jumping could be so interesting? When I first watched this DVD (I watched it without skipping to begin with) I was blown away at the variety and expertise of rope jumping. I also wondered if I'd ever be able to actually do the moves - it looked difficult. I realised that as I was an inexperienced rope jumper, my skipping was not up to this level. I needed to buy the beginner DVD. It was definitely worth the money. The beginner DVD shows you all the different moves and gives you tips on how to learn them.
This DVD more or less assumes you know the moves & gives you a workout. I'm steadily working my way through learning all the moves - you don't need to be able to do them all before doing this Advanced Workout - just modify the workout. I try and learn one different move each week - of course some you get very easily and others require a little more persistence.
I liked this Advanced Workout DVD - it's a quality presentation that has a motivating workout. Eric Niles is a very reassuring and encouraging trainer (by the way, he can really skip!). I also like the CD that matches this workout (an additional purchase). You can save it to your iPod and workout anywhere - very handy. Thoroughly recommend this DVD BUT if you haven't done ropesport before it's worth buying the beginner DVD first. One things for sure, the more I skip, the more my fitness improves and my skipping ability.
One further important item - the jump rope. You have to have the right type. Plastic or leather jump ropes don't do the job. I've got both and Eric Niles states on his beginner DVD that you need the right rope. He's right, the plastic or leather ones are not flexible enough & get tangled up too easily. I purchased my jump rope from the jumprope website.

Summary: Great workout
Comment: I love this workout tape.
I started with the Ropesport intermediate DVD and moved up to this one. It's a great half hour workout with a variety of jumps. The intermediate stops and starts, but this one has a quick ten minutes of jumping and you've already started working up a sweat by the time the warm up exercises start.
If you get bored with the jumps featured in the video you can add different ones, detailed in the DVD (the intermediate DVD has a bunch of alternative jumps as well, which I actually prefer more).
Yes, the "celebrities" are annoying and the participants in the tape yell and whoop so much that it becomes annoying, but considering how good the actual workout is, I've gotten over these annoyances. (And to be truthful there aren't that many jumprope DVDs, so there's no alternative but to adjust.)
