Deceptively Challenging Workout

"If you're a fan of The Caribbean Workout, you'll love this DVD. However, if you're new to the caribbean workout you'll find it deceptively challenging. It is definitely an intermediate/advanced workout. The moves, although repetitious, are very fast paced. One minute you're on the stability ball the next you're off. It's basically 20 minute excerpts of the tv show, not a revamped for DVD version. So they go to commercial, where you would finish off one move and then come back in to begin another. The only problem is you don't have the commercial break to do that so it makes it feel even more fast paced. So don't forget to pause the workout to grab some water. Also there is no real cooldown period after the cardio and strength workouts, but you can always use one of the pilates or yoga workouts. The DVD says that there are 1884 different workout combos available, which was one of the reasons I purchased it. However, there are really just twelve 20 minute workouts that are then recycled and combined to create 40 and 60 minute workouts. It does give you the option of creating your own 40 and 60 minute workouts, however, you create them from the basic twelve. So the "create your own" option does let you mix it up a bit, but you still really only have those basic 12. I wouldn't recommend this DVD to beginners. Although the DVD has a "low" option, it really is the exact same exercise w/o the equipment being used (ie.step, mini tramp). So if you're looking for a fast paced, challenging workout, with some variety (ie. step, stability ball, medicine ball, tubing) this is the DVD for you."

"David Snively has been one of my favorite instructors for many years. He's THE STAR of the many years running awesome show "The Caribbean Workout" filmed in sunny Barbados.



I'm very glad he has finally come out with a DVD. I love being able to build my own workouts and the variety. Keeps your body guessing and keeps me interested! Keep up the great work David!"
