Crunch - Cardio Salsa Reviews
Fun Latin Dance-based Workout
I really like this workout. I do aerobic exercise tapes five days a week, and Latin dance-inspired are my favorites. I also have Kathy Smith Latin Rhythm Workout, Reebok Aerobicaliente, Latin Grooves, etc., etc.! This tape ranks among my favorites. Giselle is fun and perky, and her instructions are easy to follow.
Other reviewers have complained that they did not learn any actual Latin dances. However, this aerobic workout is presented as just that...an aerobic workout. It does not pretend to be an instructional dance video. If you're trying to learn to dance, either buy an instructional video or take lessons at Arthur Murray!
The moves are fun and exciting. Some reviewers have complained that they are tough to learn, but I got it after a few times. Besides, if an exercise video has moves simple enough to be learned in one or two tries, they are also simple enough to get very boring, very fast. I also found the camera work to be perfectly fine.
As far as the energy level, I worked up a good sweat. I'm not a world-class athlete, by any means, but, as I mentioned, I exercise quite a bit, so I'm not a novice either. This workout was challenging enough to get my heart pumping! The music is great, with a live drummer, so you will be inspired by the beat.
My only complaint is the half-naked back-up exercisers. They are clearly healthy, but NOT in great shape. They all have on skimpy, midriff-baring tops and low-rise pants, which are fine, if the wearers are sporting "six pack" abs. These women, however, distract me a bit with their flabby, jiggling stomachs. I would have preferred more clothing.
All in all though, it's a fun, challenging, energy-packed workout. I recommend it!
It's just OK
The dvd is nice because you can do something different from the norm, ie. dance. However, I didn't feel like I was working out. Good for beginners and to get motivated.
