Movie Reviews of Crunch - Cardio Salsa
Movie Review: Great, fun way to burn calories & fat!
Summary: 5 Stars
Cardio Salsa is a great, fun workout where you will burn a lot of calories at that fat burning zone, while you have a great time. HOWEVER don't expect to be dancing Salsa for 40 minutes, in addition to Salsa, the segments on this DVD feature Merengue, Samba and then some Flamenco moves at the end during cool down. The music includes live drums and it will really get you moving. The instructor is great and she's really good explaining and cueing the moves.
Like any other dance, you will need a little bit of coordination because if you have 2 left feet you will find yourself a little lost at times. After warming up to basic Salsa moves, you will then move on to the first segment, which is straight up Salsa. Here you will learn some basic salsa moves and then so some combinations. The second segment is Merengue, the 3rd is a Salsa-Merengue combination, the 4th is a Samba routine (think Carmen Miranda) and the 5th segment is a "Latin Funk" routine. The cool down features a combination of Flamenco and Tai-Chi moves along with streches.
Overall this is a lot of fun, it will keep you motivated because it doesn't feel like a workout, it just feels like you got up off the couch to dance and have fun, with the added benefit of breaking a sweat and burning calories. A great addition to your cardio rotaation.
Movie Review: A great workout!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Movie Review: Cardio Salsa
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this workout. As a former workout junkie starting up again, this dvd had everything I was looking for. It's fast paced, fun and the time flies by. There are a few comments that the dance steps are hard to learn. Look at it this way, you won't get bored after a week. A key to learning cardio/dance routines is to listen to the instructors que and this instructor is great about that. So don't give up, hang in there, you'll get it. Some are upset that they didn't learn how to dance salsa. There is a fair amount of salsa steps. However, this is a workout session not a dance class. There are comments that the workout isn't challenging enough. Isn't that the point of working out? To get stronger and move on to something more challenging? This is a great intermediate video and as good a place to start as any. One reviewer stated that the women look like strippers. They don't look like any strippers I have seen. They look like neighbors, soccer moms, college students and co-workers. I have ten year old Jane Fonda tapes I can sell to those who don't like a challenge and are easily offended. The rest of us will be having fun.Movie Review: Really fun workout!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this DVD for a few months, and it's definitely one of my favorite workouts.
One of the things I like best about it is that the instructor Giselle cues really well and also clearly breaks things down for each combination. She gives you plenty of advance notice, and her cueing is always perfect.
When she first introduces a new move, the camera also focuses on just her legs so that you can see exactly what the move entails and how to do it. After Giselle introduces the basic move, she builds on it, adding various combinations and arm movements so that you feel like you're getting a total body workout.
When I first purchased this DVD, I was also worried that it wouldn't provide a good aerobic workout, but it really does! I'm an intermediate-level exerciser, and I've found that each time I do this workout, I get a great cardio workout that really gets my heartrate up.
It's a fun workout with great music and an upbeat instructor; she makes the routine so much fun that it's enjoyable to work out!
Movie Review: Fun, saucy, and entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since I ordered this dvd, I was looking forward to it. And that didn't end even after the first time I worked out to it. I look forward to the next time I get to work out to this video.
She gives wonderful, helpful, and easy cues to keep you on target, in line and on step. Some of the steps you just have to be patient and practice. But, you will get them in a matter of watching it only a couple of times. I would, for the first time, just sit down and watch the video, and maybe try to do some of the more difficult moves, then go full speed ahead to a full-filled, strong workout.
I love it and if you love to get down, groovy, and feel saucy (even though you are the only one watching...which could be a good thing, like in my case), then this movie is for you!
If you would like a snip of all that is in this video, I would recommend going to www.collagevideo.com and looking this and others up to see if you think you'll like it.
