"I've been looking for a good workout video for awhile. My problem, I get bored. I've tried yoga and pilates and just couldn't stick with it. I've tried other dance type videos and just could not stand the instructor. This is a good video since it doesn't try to give you too much choreography so that you can put a little of yourself into the dance and have some fun. The instructor is not annoying and doesn't talk too much. Overall, a good video for people who needed to be entertained even when they are working out."
Cardio Experts Were Right - This Is Excellent

"The paper I read (Argus Leader) ran an article where they had fitness experts review DVDs in various categories and whether they were "Worth The Workout". This DVD was highly rated across all categories .
-Works the Legs & Butt
- it was not boring
-a beginner could do it but experts would not get bored
-that the instructor would get you motivated (albeit in a cheesy way)
- the expert would use the DVD again, (with a caveat about people with knee issues may have problems with the side to side movements..)
Anyway I picked up all four DVDs (there were recommendations in the general category of Cardio, Toning, Pilates and Yoga) and so far am extremely happy with all of the titles they recommended. (In fact I have some of the titles that they stated were very poor titles, and they were right there also.)
So if you are looking for an excellent Cardio DVD, look no further, the experts were right on the money in their review."
So much fun!

"This 37-minute workout is so much fun. It has a warm-up, then two "Island Jam" dance segments, featuring Caribbean-inspired moves; this is followed by two "Fast and Funky" sections with hip-hop type dance moves. Next, there are two "Diva Dance" segments, that are Latin-flavored, then a cool-down.
The music is great, and the dancers are high-energy, which I find inspiring. Many of the moves are done at half-speed first, and then brought up to tempo, making them easier to learn. The instructor is perky without being annoying, and some of her funny remarks actually made me laugh out loud!
I really enjoy this workout, and recommend it most highly.
