I’m a 50 yr old guy and I thought I’d give Shaun T’s CIZE Dance Workout a try. I want to say I’m not a BeachBody coach and have no affiliation with BeachBody. I just want to share my positive experience with Shaun T’s CIZE Dance Workout and give a middle-aged guy’s perspective. Bottom line, I really like Shaun T’s CIZE Dance Workout and recommend it highly for people my age. Unlike some of the other reviews, which I imagine are posted by much younger and more fit individuals, the workouts in this set made me sweat like crazy. They are a real challenge for me, but very doable and FUN. The best part about it; however, is that while I get a very good workout, I feel energized after the workouts are over. This is very different from my experience lifting weights or doing an intensive aerobics routine, where I usually feel tired and exhausted after the workout is completed. In the beginning, my wife made fun of me when she watched me to the routines. Then she tried one and said, “Wow, this is really fun.” Due to our work schedules, we can’t do them together, which is too bad, but she is starting to enjoy the routines as well.

Why Shaun T’s CIZE Dance Workout? My wife and I did Power 90 and P90X, and we found P90X just tired us out too much. At my age and overall fitness level, I always felt like it was just too much. I would be exhausted the rest of the day with P90X, so my wife and I reverted back to Power 90. Power 90 is great, but there are basically only two routines (4 actually – beginner and advanced strength building + aerobics routines). At any rate, I was ready for something new. I’ve never done any of Shaun T’s other workouts, but I’ve grown very tired of working out in a gym and when I saw the ads for Shaun T’s CIZE Dance Workout, I thought to myself, “Well, why not do something really different and give this a try?” I’m really glad I did. I’ve done all 6 of the workouts many times at this point. I like all of them, and I’ll provide comments on each below. The program is definitely targeted towards women, but don’t let that stop you if you’re a guy. At some points in the routines, he’ll relate some of the moves to things you’d do in real life, such as “It’s easy, it’s like when you’re waiting in line at a bank and it’s taking too long, and you lift your foot up and put your hands out.” Well, as a guy I’d never do that, but I get it. I just ignore these references. There aren’t too many of them and it’s actually kind of funny.

I love the dance routines, but didn’t really like the abs workout or the cool down routines. The cool down routines are too short and are actually some what strenuous. The dancers don’t really slow down from the routine which is odd, but then again, they’re probably half my age and don’t even notice 😉 The dance routines are definitely worth the price of admission. Here are my comments on each routine:

DVD 1: Crazy 8’s: 30 minutes. This is the basic introductory program. Do not skip this if you’re a guy and have as little experience in dance as I do. This is a great primer. I only did it once, but it was a great intro and I highly recommend you do this at least once because many of the moves from this routine are used in more complex moves in following routines. This concept of introducing simple versions of moves in earlier routines and then building on this in later routines is a common theme. I recommend going through the routines in order for this reason. You can jump straight to later routines, but it will be a lot harder because you won’t have any experience with the simpler versions of key moves.

DVD 1: You Got This: 43 minutes. I did this workout for about a week before adding the first routine from the second DVD. I then switched back and forth between this one and “Full Out” on the second DVD. This is a great mix of routines that you can do for at least 2-3 weeks before moving to the next ones. I was able to learn this routine relatively easily (had it down after the third time I did it). I love this particular workout. I have lower back problems, and some of the later routines involve a lot of bending down which is a problem. You can always modify, but I really like this particular workout because its low impact and no bending down so I can do the full routine without needing to modify. It’s a great workout for me and I’m drenched at the end of it.

DVD 2: Full Out: 34 minutes. This is one of my favorite workouts, along with You Got This from the 1st DVD. I switch these back and forth from day to day. I find this workout to be a little more challenging and it also incorporates a few more jumping moves making it a mix of high & low impact. At first I couldn’t go all the way through without stopping, but after the second week I was able to go all the way through without stopping to rest.

DVD 2: In the Pocket: 37 minutes. This was the HARDEST routine for me to learn. It starts out slowly, so I would often use the first 5-10 minutes of this routine as a cool down for Full Out (the first routine on this DVD). Some of the moves are hard to do even at a slower speed, and when Shaun speeds it up (what he refers to as “Tempo’), its nearly impossible. It’s a very intricate routine and I had to do this routine about 7-8 times (!!!!) before I felt like I really had it down. Just be patient; you’ll get it. Try taking it in small pieces like I did; this approach really reduced frustration for me. Oddly enough, this routine is not very strenuous. I don’t sweat nearly as much as with the other routines. Because it is so complex and not very strenuous, I rarely do this routine. I like this one the least.

DVD 3: Go For It: 40 minutes. Compared to “In The Pocket,” this routine is relatively easy to learn. It’s definitely more complex than “Full Out” or “You Got This,” but I still found it relatively easy, probably because it uses many of the moves from the previous routines and then modifies them in a small but important way that really works in the overall dance routine – and the move feels different from the way I was doing it before (more on this below). This one is definitely harder than “Full Out” on the second DVD. I still have to stop it and take a rest when I’m about 20 minutes into the routine. My goal is to make it all the way through without stopping. I had to stop with some of the earlier routines, but can do them all the way through right now, so I expect I’ll get better and stronger and will be able to do this routine all the way through sometime soon.

DVD 3: Living in the 8’s. 51 minutes. “Wow – 51 minutes…” is what I thought when I first did this routine. It’s a lot longer and you’re going to feel it. The moves are more low impact, and it is a fairly intricate routine, but still very fun. While it is low impact, it’s surprisingly strenuous. The first time I did it, I had to stop at about the 30 minute mark. When I’m first doing a routine, I tend to rewind a lot to better learn the move, so while I stopped at the 30 minute mark (20 minutes left), I probably did 40-45 minutes total workout including all of the rewinding. This is a good routine, and it also leverages many moves from the previous routines. One of the things that I like is that Shaun T. adds something to the basic move you learned previously which changes the look and feel of the move altogether. This is one of my favorite aspects of the program. In many other programs, they’ll use moves from previous routines, but it feels like I’m being cheated because its the same old move from before. In Cize, Shaun T. will start with a move used previously, and then modify it. So it’s easy for me to learn, but totally different and I don’t feel cheated.

At the same time I purchased Shaun T’s CIZE Dance Workout, I also purchased Shaun T.’s “Rockin’ Body” (2 DVDs with 7 total workouts across both DVDs). I haven’t tried these yet, but plan on integrating these with Shaun T’s CIZE Dance Workout. So far I’ve been doing Shaun T’s CIZE Dance Workout for about 5 weeks and I’ve lost 7 pounds. I’m not really trying to lose weight, but I’ve lost a little and wanted to report it. I just want to reiterate how much I’ve enjoyed the routines. I’ve been lifting weights, running and biking for over 30 years, and I was really needing a change of pace in my fitness. Shaun T’s CIZE Dance Workout gave me exactly what I was looking for – a refreshing and fun way to stay in shape that actually energizes me. Thanks Shaun T. and all of the BeachBody staff for creating something new, different, and fun.

EDIT: Experience 1-month after initial purchase. 11/16/2015

I’ve now been doing the routines for a month. I’m mastered all of them except “In The Pocket,” which as I mentioned was not one of my favorites, but I’m thinking of trying it out again because it’s the only one that is still kind of new to me. My favorite routines are Living in the 8’s, Full Out, Go For It, and You Got This – in that order. At first I didn’t really like Living in the 8’s that much because I didn’t like the moves that much, but now I do. I think Living in the 8’s is the most strenuous. It’s very deceptive because it starts out seeming like it will be easy, but the last quarter of the routine is actually very hard.

I can see why some of the other reviews say that this exercise workout set of DVDs starts out well, then you get tired of it and want to move on. It’s true that once you know the routines, there’s not as much to look forward to, but right now at least I’m still having a lot of fun with the routines and getting a lot out of it. I’ll provide another update in a month or so to let you know how things are going. So far I’m really happy with the purchase and with the routines.
