Denise AustinDenise Austin: Burn Fat Fast Latin Dance [DVD]

I have nearly all of Denise's videos and this one is a great addition. I wouldn't say I worked up a huge sweat but I still felt like it was a great medium level workout. I am 62 years old and a regular exerciser. If you are wanting a high energy video like her Boot Camp videos, this would probably be too easy for you. One thing I like about Denise's videos is that are reasonable in length and difficulty but still provide results if done consistently. I was a little disappointed in the music background. Some of it is the same music used in another video of hers and for being a take on Zumba, not very energetic rhythms. I do wish Denise would pump up the music on her videos. It would make them a little more fun.

I have been looking for a dance work out DVD workout that is easy to follow, but at the same time fun to do. I found this online in amazon along with the Zumba DVD, I read all the reviews and gave it a shot for the price. I had the chance to try this workout the other day and I was not disappointed at all- it works for me, someone who's looking for just the right movements that I can follow but at the same time would enjoy doing it. I prefers dancing to burn calories than go to GYM so finding this DVD is definitely well worth it - I enjoyed it, had fun with it, and I sweat big time! I plan to do this work-out every other day with the Zumba DVD I ordered with this DVD. So far - I love it!

This is a nice work out to do when I just want to sweat a little. The dances are very simplified. The cool down is lacking. It's set up more like a laid back aerobics session than dance.

I have been a Denise Austin fan for a number of years and own most of her workout DVDs. I have been disappointed with some of her more recent DVDs; however, I still decided to give her newest release the "Burn Fat Fast Latin Dance" a try. It was great! Fun is not usually a word I ascribe to cardio workouts, but this workout was fun. This was clearly Denise's take on the Zumba craze, but what she created was a fun, energizing, and even sexy workout that gets you moving. The dance steps were relatively easy to learn, but it still gets your heart rate up. Of all of Denise's "dance" workouts, this is by far the best. If you are looking for a fun, enjoyable, cardio workout, this is it. I would highly recommend it.

Not the old Denise Austin but OK. She gets the job done and it lasts about 35min. and has another 10 min. of toning. Gets a little old hearing her say "Good!" but it's possible when we learn it we can cut off the sound, ha. Good warm up and cool down and stretching. I would recommend it to anyone.

I wasn't expecting a challenging workout with this, but even for a light workout this takes a bit to warm me up. The hops and quicker movements that come in the middle of the workout and toward the end helped. The cardio dance workout is about thirty one minutes and the toning one with light weights is about ten minutes. I did them together so it was a better workout. This isn't a bad DVD. The dance moves make it interesting. It's just not challenging if you work out a lot. That said, it definitely has merit. You get warmed up a ways into it, and it's good for days when you want light cardio. Someone just starting out might get more out of it.Denise is in good shape and always so cheerful.

I got it because I really need to find something I can do at home because time is limited. I hadn't done any aerobic stuff in many years but I thought I would be okay learning some new steps...that did not happen. I completed the video but at times I just had to march in place because I was struggling to learn a particular move of hers. But I'm not giving up! I will try again because at least I found that I did get a pretty good aerobic workout from it *LOL*. I wouldn't say this is for beginners. I wish there had been a review of the moves before the actual workout began!

I normally really like Denise and have used alot of her workouts over the years. This one is a bit disappointing. First of all,it's pretty obvious that Denise is not really good at Latin dancing. Just not her forte. The workout starts out pretty much full blast- without an adequate warm-up in my opinion.. The moves overall are okay. I would say this workout is too fast paced for a beginner, but fine for someone who works out regularly.

This does not work with any of the UK DVD players and computers (inc Apple) that I have tried. I contacted the seller to be informed that this is what US Import is referring to - and that I can return it to a USA address at my own expense! I hadn't appreciated that US imported DVD could not be used in UK DVD players!

Fun dance cardio for days you feel like something light and a good 10 minute toning routine as well when you're short on time. As always, I find Denise Austin's workouts effective and fun however her dialog is quite repetitive: "Your spine is your lifeline!". I also feel Denise is the worst at cueing the next move, as if you are part of her back up team having practiced for weeks. The best instructor I find for cueing is Alison Davis from The Firm videos. But a lot of the moves are similar to her other videos so they are familiar and easy to catch on. Just different choreography and still a good sweat.

It is fun

Besides the dancing you have exercise portions of the workout, which is great! I enjoyed using this as a quick workout in the morning.

ラテンダンスの好きな人、ズンバなどで基本をやっている人に、やりやすくて、良いと思います。特にダンスのノウハウのブレイクダウンも無いので、いきなり踊ると、少し難しいかもしれません。でもついていけるようになるととても楽しくできます。しかもボディトーニングがついていて、フルでやるとやりがいがあります。ストレスの発散に、このレベルが合うと、効果的だと思います。本格的にラテンダンスをするとなると、このDVDはエクササイズ向けなので、物足りない人もいるかもしれません。
