 Good length for exercise and comfortable rythym. December 22, 2008
David W. Parrish
I like this video because it is lively, has a good beat and is not to hard to keep up with. A lot of work out videos are just too hard to do. This one is just right.

Great video! Easy enough to do, but difficult enough to be interesting. Not much traditional latin moves, but lots of fun and keeps you moving.
Aerobic/latin mix for non-dancers December 7, 2008
TheCafeWriter (Chicago, IL USA)
I've owned a handful of Latin dance fitness DVDs, and this is a nice break from those. The footwork is less complex, it incorporates more arm and upper body moves than most Latin dance DVDs, and it's all low-impact (so it may not be intense enough for intermediate exercisers). There aren't as much traditional Latin dance moves in this as in others - there are more aerobic dance moves. That said, the aerobic components are refreshingly original, without the usual tired, boring morass of chasses, grapevines, and knee lifts. (There's even a quick little move where you pretend to play conga drums.)
You won't need any equipment, but you'll need enough front and back floor space to be able to walk about 4 big (or 8 small steps), and enough space on the sides to take 2 big steps in each direction.
The warm-up and cooldown blend smoothly into the workout itself, so on the downside, there's no menu other than "Play" or "Resume." And if you're looking to learn traditional Latin dance steps you can take to your cousin's wedding, you'll be disappointed.
Overall, it's sexy, playful and fun, and easy to follow with plenty of cuing.
A wonderfully fun high-energy workout, highly recommended November 14, 2008
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
A new fitness DVD in the Crunch series is sure to add vigor, spice, and spirit to one's daily exercise regimen! In "Crunch Latin Rhythms: Fat Blasting Dance", professional dancer and certified group fitness instructor Jennifer Galardi demonstrates a zesty Latin dance cardio workout that blends excitement and fun with sheer calorie burning. Moves from the mambo, cha cha, merengue, samba, and more are incorporated into this enthusiastic celebration of the joy of movement. A wonderfully fun high-energy workout, highly recommended.
Great, but could be more intense :-) October 2, 2008

Jen is a favourite instructor of mine. Her routines are fun and energetic and this is the same. It's an intermediate workout with basic choreography and lowish impact. It does get your heart rate up a bit and you do sweat a little, but it isn't quite challenging enough for me.
It's a combination of classic aerobics and fun latin moves. You learn a basic aerobic move, and then she adds the latin flare to it. I personally have only done this twice but never felt sore or tired as a result of it. I'd use this on a day where I can't be bothered doing much else but still want to do something. It's certainly going to burn off some calories, but advanced exercisers won't be overly impressed with this. Jennifer is motivating and personable like usual, but I hope her next workout will be a little harder and more challenging.
