As fitness videos go, this is fine, does exactly what it says on the tin. It does make you sweat a fair bit as it's designed for cardio-vascular movement and the subsequent weight loss, which can only do you good. The moves give the whole body a workout and I felt fine the next morning, no aches and pains - I remember doing a Cindy Crawford workout once and walking like John Wayne for the next 4 days, so it's low impact I would say. Michael Betts, the dancer accompanying the inane Tracy Shaw does a good and varied job of the choreography (set in a terrible nightclub somewhere with stars on the walls and a Billy Jean dancefloor, muchas comedy) and it holds your interest - every now and then you hear a 'eeh by eck as like' by a panting Shaw off camera, who is obviously fitter than she makes out. Watching this over and over you can't help but wonder how she got this gig as she clearly isn't much of a dancer, although this doesn't seem to bother Michael Betts, who can't seem to take his eyes or his hands off her by the end, it's quite funny. My only criticism is the salsa music, which is the only reason I bought this tape as I love salsa dancing in clubs. There's one obviously salsa-themed track on this with the traditional brass and percussion instruments, but the rest is just terrible cheesey electronic lift music, it's a real shame. Salsa can be so brilliant to dance to, so it does let the whole thing down a bit. But if you want to lose a few inches off your hips I would on the whole recommend it, cheese and all.
