I got this DVD recently, and it is pretty good. I like the way there are 6 different sections, and that you can choose to just to a few if you don't have time, or you want to focus on something in general. I do not need to lose weight, but just wanted something fun to exercise to, so it works for me. I think you could lose weight/tone up on it if you used it enough. However I think the routines will get boring if you do it regularly. I dislike the music as well, but for a rock music fan, I guess that's normal!!
