Rating:  - All Instruction, NO sweat!!!
I do not think this video should be considered exercise. Of course, if you have never exercised, it is a good place to start. I did not even break a sweat with this video and it did not work my core. It did work my thighs, though. This is for beginners, intermediate or advanced would not get any benefits from this except to learn a few dance steps. I do, however, Like the instructors very much. Their ques are off from time to time, but over all they are decent instructors. The only reason I gave this a 1 star is because of the instructors.
Rating:  - Very pleasantly surprised and pleased
As a long-time "Dancing with the Stars" fan, I was really surprised--just recently--to discover this 2008 Latin Cardio Dance workout. I had no clue such a product existed. I immediately ordered it, not having the faintest idea what the DVD would bring. Suffice it to say, I was "very pleasantly surprised and pleased."
The DVD is 60 minutes of a great cardio workout. Even though other reviewers, who are already in great shape, were not particularly pleased, I am. It's been awhile since I have done a strenuous workout. Well, folks, you will get one here!! I have gone through the entire 60 minute program twice and have yet to complete each dance segment. (I'm too out-of-breath.)
Here's what I found:
1. Cheryl led the five-minute warm-up. These exercises must be universal because I did most of them with Jane Fonda back in the day. (Note: It is really fun to see Maksim going through these simple, slow routines as opposed to his lightning quick moves on the floor. He looks just like a normal guy in an aerobics class. Funny. Cheryl looks good.)
2. Chery led the first workout, "Merengue." Her teaching style is simple and direct, yet encouraging. When she shows the next step, she has the class continue to do the preceding movement, then adds the new. Because this is a cardio workout, there is no stopping to show in detail what she is doing. That is the purpose of the rewind button. Better yet, do these routines in front of a mirror or sideways to your television ... Read More
Rating:  - Quite disappointed!
I'm a bit dance challenged and was hoping this would not only give me exercise but would teach. It was hard for me to follow for some reason. Anyhow, even if it's b/c I've got two left feet, they were not enthusiastic and it was even awkward at times...it felt very hurried and boring for them. I'm giving this two stars b/c of my left feet (my problem) and b/c I did like the very last segment. Still, I'm quite disappointed that these pros couldn't do better for something the non-pros will be doing at home. :(
Rating:  - Great way to loose weight
This is a very strenuous work out. It you have bad knees you might want to skip the samba and the salsa. The other two are more comfortable for me. I love to dance and this is a fun way to exercise.
Rating: - Good Moves
This is good exercise and stretching but I am curious as to why Cheryl and female dancers are wearing heels and sexy outfits during the dances [they don't in stretching]; I certainly don't exercise that way :-)
