Editorial Review:
Ready for a high-energy, low-impact, hip-hop workout? Designed for the youthful exerciser (the heart-rate chart goes from age 15 to 50), this 50-minute video has upbeat dancers, cool moves, and MTV music. Instructor Tina Landon, host Eric Nies, and the Grind dancers are enthusiastic and energetic.
You'll have to get past a few annoyances to enjoy doing this video. Landon and the assisting dancers forget that they should be cuing for us, not each other, so they cue "right foot" when it's our left, and vice versa--very irritating when you're trying to learn the steps from the cuing. In addition, the camera inexplicably does not always show the feet when the instructors are demonstrating new footwork.
If you can ignore those impediments, this video is lots of fun. Each dancer teaches a segment of the choreography, showing it first fast, then slow, then fast again. Then the new segment is added onto the end of the sequence already taught, so the pattern grows each time. The choreography is energetic and innovative--coordination and patience required!
After the dancing and cool-down, Landon leads a yoga-inspired stretch routine. --Joan Price

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Terrible
The whole tape is really boring and dated, and the dance moves are just repetitions of each other. How can a routine be at all interesting if it's just adding one move to the next and repeating it from the beginning, then in the end doing the same thing over and over???? Very disappointing.
Rating:  - Great Video and fun...
I love this video I bought all the Grind videos along time ago and I love them all but I think Hip Hop is my favorite. I have a blast doing these vieos and wish that they would come out on DVD so I can upgrade from VHS to DVD. I personally find them fun and full of "exercise can be fun" attitude. Check these videos out if you liked the Grind on MTV or if you like dancing as everything is broken down so that you can pick up the moves.
Rating:  - Soundtrack very soft
As others have said, this is a fun workout even if the music/hair/outfits are somewhat dated. My biggest issue is that the sound quality is pretty awful - you can hardly hear the music behind the vocal instructions! And working out without music just isn't that much fun.
Try the Hip-Hop Aerobics video instead, it may still be dated but at least the sound balance is right!
Rating: - a little cheesy but fun
I had wanted to get this when it first came out back in the days of the Grind. Today this tape is a little outdated but still fun. Eric is a little cheesy (yo yo yo!) but I still think he's cute! Tina Landon is awesome, altho her hair is really scary in this video. The moves are not too advanced but still fun for more experienced dancers. The thing I didn't like about this video (which is a common problem in workout videos) is that a lot of times when you're trying to watch what they're doing, ... Read More
Rating: - Work Out Wonder
I absolutely dread exercising, but this tape was over before I realized that I had worked out for 50 minutes (including warm-up and cool down). This tape is a complete TOTAL BODY Workout. I recommend this to beginners, it's a really great way to start yourself to a new YOU. I use it twice daily.
