Great lower body workout!!! In just the first few minutes I began to feel the burn This workout works all the leg muscles. You will feel as though you have run a marathon!!!!
Absolutely great for beginners+ I just bought this dvd and have done it 3 times, sweated up a storm, and had a lot of fun. The instructor is totally adorable to watch, has a great body, looks great doing everything, and does not insult me with irritating motivational hollering. She just gives some counts and acts enthusiastic. That's what I want in a video exercise instructor.
I don't get all the moves perfectly. If it were so easy I could do it all the first time, I'd be bored with it too soon. I don't care what I look like in the privacy of my own home, so if some of the moves are goofy, who cares? That means, yes, there are some goofy parts.
My experience with exercise dvds in the past has been that they all have pretty cheesy music and this one is no exception.
Finally, I will say that a lot of these moves are standard aerobic class kind of moves - vstep and grapevine (well, that's a dance move, too) - so for some people I can see where they may not feel like it's all dancing. In other words, do not feel that you can hit a salsa club after doing this dvd because you will not be learning hot new moves that you can take out.
From the reviews, I would say this dvd is great for beginners or people who haven't done a lot of cardio in a while. If you can't keep up with the arms and knee lifting and kick stepping, just improvise till you get it. Advanced cardio junkies probably will not find this challenging enough. For me, it's a great choice and I'm so glad I bought it.Way Too Easy This is a competent, fun dvd. However, it focuses mostly on choreography at the expense of sweat. Let's put it this way: I'm a semi-regular exerciser, but I'm also fat - and I barely breathed hard. It's a fun workout if you just want to get your [...] off the couch and do something for a half hour, but not so great for a serious cardio workout.
