Rhythms Dance Exercise Program: Salsa Blast

First of all, these people are in another league altogether. So talented and good looking! They are clearly formally classically trained dancers. I am totally uncoordinated. I never got to take a dance class as an child but always dreamed of it. Now that I am 59 years old, I am finally getting those dance classes. I am old, overweight and out of shape. I've never been a limber person. But these steps you can stand in place, so it's like walking, but adding the hips and arms and dance. I just go slow -- practice, practice, practice -- and some day I will do it. It's not a race. I'm my own competition. I have already lost five pounds and toned up. Once again, these people are consummate professionals, at the top of their game, who give excellent instructions. Thank you to Core Rhythms for making my dance dreams come true.

I ordered this because I love dance and especially interested in latin dances. This video is not as much of dance steps as I had hoped but that is understandable. It is a workout video after all. As a workout it does work the core muscles quite well and thoroughly and after a few uses I could definitely feel some soreness. I also liked the variety of ab moves because it engages the whole range of muscles quite completely. However, it can be a bit tedious like so many other workout videos because you are basically standing in one spot moving your waist and arms around. For 40 minutes! I gave up and went back to Sade on my music player. That way at least I can move around my living room all I want. Also, this has already been pointed out several times but there is a giant screen behind the dancers with only someone's abs gyrating which is a bit horrifying. I don't know if the point was to inspire but it really just distracts. It is a good workout video but my search for some fabulous dance videos continues.

It was an okay video. It wasn't an easy video to follow. It needs better instructions.

There is an issue with hearing the video.

This video is suppose to be for beginners but don't be fooled...it is not!!

As an amatuer dancer, I'd been looking for a latin workout. This is not only fun, the music is great and even if you've never danced, you can do this. Just click on a different view and they explain the moves in detail. Lots of fun, and boy do you sweat!! If you're a beginner or an advanced dancer, you'll love this work out. There is even an additional section if you want to learn some basic dance moves to get you on the dance floor. Get this DVD!!

This tape is excellent. I purchased a replacement tape. It is very difficult in the beginning but keep doing it and by the end of the month, you should be able to complete the whole tape. You will experience a total body workout and begin to sweat immediately during the warm up phase. I highly recommend this tape as part of your exercise regimen.

Fun. I wish that from the beginning they explained the steps but was easy to follow. Better than a lot of other workouts
