Customer Reviews

get up, and get movin' to a Latin beat.....
I'm always looking for something different to keep me interested and keep my workouts fresh and this was just the ticket. Lisa Nuziella does an excellent job at cueing the moves and showing proper form. The warm ups have live percussion and the workout itself has has a nice latin track that keeps you moving to the beat. There were only a couple things that kept me from giving it 5 stars. One was that I didn't realize until the end of the video that there was an instructional segment, which you wouldn't know about unless you you went to the "scenes" area. The other is that the warm up and cool down are pretty much the same. I would have liked to have seen a little bit of variety here, but these are both small items. Overall, a great workout, just like taking a dance class. You are constantly moving, adding on combinations and variations of the mambo, until the end, when you complete a full workout, by putting all the combinations together.

I have many workout tapes/dvds and I would have to say this is one of my favorites, it keeps the heart rate up, is fun (if you like dancing) and the time goes very fast-before you know it, the workout is done.

Try something a little different-you'll be glad you did!

Patience needed for the non-dancer
I thought this would be a fun deviation from my standard workout tapes. I am not really a dancer and found this hard to follow. Lisa has an introduction to the steps section, but it is hard to see what she is doing since she is wearing all black. The warmup was easy to follow, but when you get into the workout it moves so fast you really need some patience to keep trying. I also quickly realized you can not do this workout wearing standard workout sneakers as you really need to have flexible feet to complete the steps. Overall I may use this once in a while, but this workout is no where near my favorite.

Fun Workout
I had fun with this workout since never slows down for teaching, it keeps your heart rate up. She does do some of the same moves over & over, but it's still fun. I almost didn't know there was a instructional at the end of the video or in the scenes part of the DVD which helped a lot. She breaks things down well, but there were some moves she doesn't teach at all. Considering I don't learn very fast, I still enjoy this DVD unlike Crunch: Dance Party or Crunch: Hip Hop & Kathy Smith's Latin Dancing is horrible since only 2 people out of 15 can dance & they're all in the back hidden.

All & all I loved it. There's a trailer for this one & all the other ones I mentioned at collagevideo com
