In this post, we’ll look at our Cize’s results, workout times, and provide printable schedules.
Say goodbye to push-ups and bootcamps, and hello to workout you actually enjoy doing!
Here’s a 2-minute sneak peek at what you should expect:
You can lose weight and tone up with any healthy diet and workout if you’re consistent. So why not make it fun?
Unlike Insanity workouts, Cize dance workouts are pure fun. It blows my mind that the same trainer is behind both total body workouts.
Your Guide to Beachbody Cize Workouts
- It’s is perfect for beginners or those advanced exercisers needing a change
- Customizable to be as easy or as hard as YOU want
- No equipment is required
- Modern hip hop music
- It’s a 30-day workout DVD program
What are Cize Workout Lengths?
The workouts range from 30 to 51 minutes.
The program itself it 4-weeks, but it can be repeated right after.
Is Cize good for weight loss?
To lose weight, we need to burn more calories than we consume. Cize workouts can burn around 300 calories in 30 minutes which makes it a great, effective, and fun way to lose weight at home!
Here are a few Cize before and after photos to help you see what is possible!
Most of them also used Shakeology as a meal replacement, but if you’re good about meal prep, you could also just watch your diet!
Aren’t the Cize before and after’s so inspiring? Working out really can just be fun!
How many calories does Cize burn?
Expect to burn approximately 300-600 calories per routine. With that kind of calorie burn paired with a healthy diet, you can expect to lose 1-2lbs a week. Our clients have lost an average of 6 to 15 pounds in the 30 days.

Our Personal Cize Review
Out of all of Shaun T’s fitness programs, this one is my favorite. At first, I honestly thought I would hate it. I thought it would be too easy, and that the dancers in the back would be so cheesy.
A small part of me also worried it would be corny, and I still wouldn’t get the moves.
That’s not the case though.
Shaun T keeps the cueing simple. You get to do a move slowly, repeat it, and then do it at a faster beat. Then he’ll add a new move in using the same method. Eventually, you learn an 8-count and then put it together with other 8-counts as your progress through the workout.
In a fitness-world, this is like a circuit training workout. You are going at a low intensity learning a move, and then you’re at a high intensity when you put it all together. You just feel like your dancing though.
Even not being coordinated, I was able to do the moves and routine.
I also didn’t feel super stupid like I thought I would. Each dance really feels like something you’d see Meghan Trainor or a hip-hop back up dancer doing.
I know you’ve probably read a few Cize reviews, but I wanted to share my pro’s and con’s as well.
Pros
- Realistic & Fun to complete the 30-day calendar
- True dancing versus mixing in some fitness moves
- Easy to make it low-impact
- I felt empowered during the workouts versus defeated.
- 30-day money-back guarantee
- Additional resources to help you eat healthy.
- Shaun T is such a fun instructor and also gave me the confidence to try the routines.
Cons
- It’s not as hard as Insanity.
- Don’t expect muscle growth because the program is mostly cardio.
- I personally like the 21 Day Fix meal plan the best, but this is simple and straightforward.

Hi thanks for this introducing cize a great workout and sooo funny . I just wondering if there are other videos coming out . Cuz i got my program and i didn’t find some videos like shaun posted in cize page
Well see I’m 12,, I’m 120 pounds I wanna lose weight .. and I’ve heard this is a good program, does this thing cost under 100$
You would want to check with your parent first, but just like playing sports or playing outside can burn calories so will Cize. It just all depends on your height and growth at 12 which is why I recommend talking about Cize with a parent or an adult you know and trust before getting it. It is under $100 as well. :) The link to view the pricing is in the post above :)
I’ve seen the work outs and I’m soo impressed with your product. Would you shop to Trinidad and Tobago?
i was wondering if i was going to do cize a second time, do you just start over at the beginning or do you do the cize routines for 30 minutes at at time? Thanks!
How many calories burned (average) per 30 minute routine?
I would also like to know how many calories I lose with each work out. I have just started about two weeks ago and I just would like to know to keep track of my exercise routines.
Do I do the work out did every day even though I know the dance or do I do the cize it up for the half hour?
Do I do the work out dvd every day even though I know the dance or do I do the cize it up for the half hour?
Just Cize it up for the half hour :)
Is this hard in your knees. It looks very jumpy.
It can be especially if you’re on carpet. It’s not jumpy, but you do have to pivot on your feet which can be hard on your knees. You can always step vs pivot – that always helps me a lot! What kind of workout are you looking for? Do you have a specific goal in mind? I might be able to recommend something easier on your knees.
How many calories do you burn during the 30 workout?
I am 39 years old an ready for a life change. I am 190 and my doc want me to have the surgery. I DO NOT WANT THAT!!! I know I can do this with diet and exercise. I try 21 day fix but it had my body so sore that I never tried it again. Which program would you suggest. I also live on the second floor with carpet. She has a small child under me so I can’t do much jumping or stomping. Please help me make the right choice for a work out routine. Thank you so much
Is this available in India?
What’s the price??
Unfortunately, I believe it’s only available in the US, Canada, and parts of the UK.
Where do I order Cize The Next level? I’ve been trying to look for it online.
