As of today I've done two of the routines several times and can feel it in my abs. (I personally will be combining Cize with weight training, likely from the 21 Day Fix.) It’s more of a weight-loss sculpting routine that you get just by dancing. Shaun T says, "I also wanted guys to know that dance isn’t just for women!" Is Cize just cardio or is there a strength component?Ĭize is a cardio workout or, as Shaun T calls it, "power cardio." This isn't a muscle building workout - like Body Beast, but your muscles are being worked through the different movements and isolations. Is this just for ladies or can guys Cize too?Ĭize is definitely for anyone who likes to dance.
The amazing responses inspired me to show people that they can dance." "I post videos on my Facebook page where I’m doing choreographed dance routines and they get thousands of views and comments. "I wanted people to understand why I love dance. It was extremely knee-friendly.Īnd FYI, the other Shaun T dance workouts, Hip Hop Abs and Rockin' Body, are both knee friendly as well. Of course everyone is different, so listen to your body, but as of this writing (pre-release) I've done the complete "You Got This" workout.
Is Cize a good workout for people with bad knees?Īs someone with two bad knees, I can say YES, Cize works for those of us with knee issues. You get the "good music" when you perform your entire dance routine at the end of the workout. The progressions are done to instrumental-type music. Each move is combined and practiced over and over so when it comes time to put the moves in a routine you've already got it down. Each video will start with 30-35 minutes of learning the moves in a progression. It will increase flexibility, make your legs stronger and help in every single exercise you do." It’s a different range of motion you don’t normally get. "Hip Hop Abs and Rockin’ Body are very watered-down movements and fitness-oriented dancing, where CIZE is more like you’re dancing in a music video. "One difference is that these routines are made to the songs, where as in Hip Hop Abs and Rockin’ Body, it didn’t really matter what song you were listening to or what track was on," says Shaun T. How is CIZE different from Shaun T's other dance workouts, like Rockin' Body and Hip Hop Abs? You can keep it super simple as he demonstrates in the beginning, or totally rock out. A modifier is not necessary because Shaun T breaks down the moves into their most basic form. It would be a good choice for someone who is just starting her fitness journey. Modifying the workout has to do more with your level of fitness than the amount of weight you have to lose. Almost everyone can march in place or step side-to-side to the beat. Is CIZE designed for people with a lot of weight to lose?Ĭize was not designed for people with a lot of weight to lose, but it's a great choice for an obese person. It would also be a good choice for someone just getting back into fitness after a break. So it's great for beginners and those of us who have some fitness background can ramp it up for the very beginning. Cize is a flexible workout in that you can control the amount of intensity. If you like lifting weights only, it's not for you. So if you like Zumba, or traditional aerobics or Hip Hop Abs, you will love Cize. In reality, I would recommend Cize for people who like cardio, who like to dance, who like their workouts to be FUN.
eventually.Ĭize was released at Beachbody Summit, our national convention, and now it's available to you.Ĭlick here for the Complete Guide to the Cize Meal Plan.īeachbody claims Cize is for people who can’t dance, dancers, your grandma. I'll answer every conceivable question you might have about the program. I'll review the workouts (and try not to drool over my computer), the meal plan, the before and after results. This article will break EVERYTHING down for you. I'm a Dancing and Cardio Queen at heart, so I was thrilled to hear Shaun T is back with another dance series. I actually enjoy doing most of them too, particularly Hip Hop Abs and Rockin' Body. Tired of squats, lunges, push-ups, and boring cardio? Then pay attention because you're about to look forward to working out! Shaun T goes back to his dancing roots and makes losing weight an “experience.” You'll be livin' and sweatin' to hot new moves and great music!Ĭonfession. I may be a little biased.
