Summary: This is too fun to be exercise!
Review: This is a great workout. The routines are short enough that if you miss something you won't lose half the workout tring to figure it out. And if you miss a step the music will keep you moving anyway! It felt more like dancing for fun than a workout. That doesn't mean I don't sweat or get my heart pumping during it. For advanced participants, that are some extra steps or hops you can incorporate to raise the intensity. I would definitely recommend this video to all exercise levels.

Summary: A great workout!
Review: This is a lot of fun. It's great if you like something a little different from the ordinary. I get bored easily, so each week I switch around between hatha/kundalini yoga, TaeBo Cardio, Tae Bo Master Blaster (with weights) and dancing/jump rope/Nordictrack (I did say I get bored, yes?). And my work requires that I be able to lift/carry 40 lbs. I don't have the time to go to a fitness center and don't care to get all jazzed up to do so. I prefer to do my own thing at home and this program is perfect for that. I've done okay by watching my diet and using this and the other videos/DVDs.The instructor is energenic and vibrant, and although I'm a total klutz when it comes to learning dance moves, she goes about it at a nice enough pace that after a few sessions I even got the hang of it. The warmup works smoothly into the following routines. The beat of the music fits well with the moves, and you just have to have fun doing it! The 40 minutes goes by so fast it's amazing. If you're looking for a very fast paced, aerobic, "take your breath away" exercise routine, this is *not* it. But if you're looking for something to work that heart, limber up and shed some calories along the way, try it!

Summary: Disappointing - Don't Waste Your Time or Money
Review: This is one of the worst fitness videos I have come across in a while. If you're looking for an advanced level workout, you won't find it here. The cueing is terrible, the instructor is abrasive & beyond annoying, and you just don't get much of a workout. For those who want to learn salsa, Red Hot Salsa Made Simple does a much more effective job (and it's a lot of fun!). For advanced cardio work, salsa videos aren't the answer.

Summary: Huh?
Review: This video bills "easy to follow steps." Well, I was lost in the first five minutes. If you have some dance experience, this would probably be a good video for you, but if you're a beginner, steer clear.

Summary: Great Cardio Fun!
Review: This workout is a lot of fun and aerobic enough to get me into my training heart zone (moderate level; this isn't Tae Bo!!)I've only had it a month, and I can't stop working out to it! It's made my weekly rotation--and I'm picky. I do exercise videos 5-6 days a week and have lost 40 lbs doing them (with a reasonable diet). So, I take my video selections seriously. I've purchased more than 100 videos, but many of them are rejects because the workout isn't aerobic enough, it's boring, the instructor is uninspiring, etc. This Cardio Salsa Video, on the other hand, has so much going for it:
1) The instructor is lively, and breaks down the moves so they are easy to learn. 2) The workout is presented in six segments--so the time flies. Before you know it, you're off doing the next segment, Salsa, Samba,Merengue (my favorite)and more. This short segment approach keeps the workout very fresh for those like me who want to do a video regularly and not just once or twice. 3)The workout incorporates large arm movements and some jumps, so even someone who is fit (like me) can get their heart rate into the moderate intensity zone. Put some energy behind the moves, and you will get a good workout! OK, it's not the strenous workout of Tae Bo, but it's not too easy like a lot of Latin tapes out there that are only good for "light days" or are in my reject pile. 4) The live drummer Ravi and his drumming add something special to the video. He's on several other Crunch videos, and I've liked all the ones he's on. Are you a beginner or someone who does not like dancy videos? Stick with it; you'll learn these short routines in 2 or 3 times through the video and you WILL be converted to an Aerobic Latin style enthusiast thanks to Giselle and her good choreography.

Summary: Great for Beginners
Review: While this wasn't a Tae-Bo level workout, it was fun, and I worked up a sweat. I love dance based videos rather than straight aerobic videos, because you can have a little fun. I've read reviews that said that the instructor didn't break down the the steps enough, and she moved too fast. Now, I do have a few years of dance experience under my belt, but the moves weren't complicated. The video may move a little fast, but after you do it once or twice, it doesn't matter.
