Hip Hop Abs: Fat Burning Cardio

Shaun T.
Year Released: 2007

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


This 30-minute cardio routine begins with a 4-minute warm-up that includes side-to-side steps, slides, pumps forward and back, and some simple stretches. The first combo, "Party Bounce," is about 6.5 minutes and consists largely of variations on the basic pump. Next is the "Night Fever" combo (6 mins), which offers the throw-down, grapevine, press the floor, and a double arm pull-down. This is followed by the "Get Busy" combo (6 mins). Exercises included are the uprock (heels forward), the get busy sequence, and roll out. The last combination is the 4.5-minute "Freak Out." This starts with kick it and then moves into the "Freak" side step, with several different variations of this. The 2-minute cool-down is QUICK: Shaun takes a few breaths and then moves through some brief stretches for the lower back and neck.

Instructor Comments:
Shaun's mirrored cuing is excellent, and he frequently offers helpful form pointers, although they sometimes come in the midst of his raps/rhymes.
