Customer Reviews

A workout is nothing to complain about
The European women aren't near as annoying as the Denise Austin type. Yeah, they're dancers and they're in good shape, but that's to be expected. They could do this blindfolded, with a broken ankle and look better than I do. But that doesn't have to discourage anyone.

I think they teach you just like any other aerobics class. Slow for a couple steps, then to tempo. The steps I've seen aren't outlandish, though some I couldn't do the first time. I'm not coordinated and don't look good doing it. But I also don't have a problem shutting myself in a room and laughing occasionally.

If you want to get a nice workout, that's different than your normal run-of-the-mill at home fitness videos, this is a good option. It's neat how they work the abs into the cardio routine.

I'm not sure if it's worth 45$ though (that's a month subscription to my gym!).

I think some of the bad reviews on the video are just personal frustrations. The video is nicely produced and coreographed. They're good leaders. The music is made to go with the routine perfectly. You can alternate between front and back views. If the "Latin" dvd is too hard, you can try the others. You can skip scenes. And there's an express workout too.

Excellent workout
I love these workouts. They are high impact but a lot of fun. You actually feel like you're dancing instead of working out and the "help" section is very useful. If you have a problem with some of the footwork, you switch to "help", and then they slowly take you through the exact steps to achieve the correct footwork. If you join the club you do pay a fortune for the initial starter package DVD, but the other DVDs are reasonably priced.

LOVE IT
I love this workout! With the full workout (about 40 min) it goes by really fast and I'm sweating like crazy half way through. The quick workout (20 min) is really great if you don't have a lot of time. There isn't really any instruction, but at any time you can use the "help" and they will show you how to do the move and then it goes right back to the spot you were at. It did take me a couple of times before I was coordinated with it, but I don't get bored of it and it's fun!
