DVD Reviews of Crunch - Cardio Salsa
DVD Review: Has its good and bad points
Summary: 3 Stars
If cardio bores you easily, this workout is fun. I disagree with some of the other reviewers that it's unrelated to "real" salsa. I've had a few years of Latin dance instruction, and while the moves in this video are certainly simplified and "dumbed down" a bit, they do reflect the motions and rhythms of the actual dances.
The workout has several segments related to various Latin dances. Each segment goes through a single combination that the instructor breaks out move by move. She takes you through one half of the combination, puts those moves together, then goes through the moves of the other half of the combination. Then you dance through both halves of the combination twice. Anyone who has ever been to an aerobics class of any kind, and especially anyone who has ever studied any kind of dance, should be used to this format and should be able to pick up the moves. Beginners with no dance or aerobics class experience may need more practice, but if you're willing to consistently do this workout several times, there is no reason not to pick it up.
The problem with this workout is its length and intensity. It gets you to a moderate, but not really heart-pumping, sweat-dripping, intensity (the way something like Turbo Jam would). The most intense part of the workout lasts only around 23 minutes (without warmup and cooldown). If I'm going to work out at that low a level of intensity, I'd like it to go on at least 10 minutes longer. Another option would be to make those 23 minutes more intense.
Instructor is encouraging and upbeat without being annoying. The other people in the class are of differing body types, which is refreshing to see in an exercise video.
I generally use this video as a quick burst of cardio for when I'm tired or sick, or if I need an extra cardio boost on a day when I'm planning to be active, but not planning to work out really hard.
In short, the biggest problem with this video is that the choreography might be considered too complex or intimidating for beginners, but not intense or long enough for advanced exercisers. That being said, a beginner who is willing to persevere and stick with it long enough to get comfortable with the moves would enjoy this workout.
