5 out of 5 stars Enjoyed exercising (finally), April 17, 2002
Sandra Markiewicz from Illinois
I tend to dread exercising, but love dancing. I thought I'd try this video to see if I would like it. After reading the many reviews, I thought it was worth a try. I loved it. I actually wasn't wishing it was over with like I do with other exercise programs. I still have to get a few of the moves down, but even with not doing all of them correctly, I was really working up a sweat. I did it before dinner and wasn't even that hungry for dinner afterwards (a plus!).

5 out of 5 stars Elise Foss changed my mind about aerobic workouts, September 19, 2001
Alix from San Francisco, CA
While I knew aerobic exercise was important, I couldn't find a workout I enjoyed...until now. Through her Viva! Latin Rhythm Workout video, Elise has given me my first positive experience with aerobic exercise. I look forward to each workout, knowing that I will feel great while doing it and feel energized afterward.

The moves are sexy and fun. I love it when Elise says, "Once more, with attitude!" or "Shake anything you find on your way down." Her cueing is excellent -- I never feel lost. That said, I can't always do a step correctly for the first few times, but I follow her advice to not worry about how I look, and soon I find that my execution improves over time.

Because you can continue to enhance your workout by adding more more arms and hip movements to each step, I think this video will have a long life in my workout routine. After years as a couch potato, it was a big achievement for me to make it through the entire video--I wanted to find Elise and hug her! I'm still working on getting the Samba down, but I'm not so worried about it -- I'm just enjoying the sweat and my new-found endurance.

This a such a fun tape. It feels more like a party than a workout. It is intermediate and not too hard to pick up right away. If you like to dance you will enjoy this. Can't wait to see more from Elise.

This is one of the most fun, high energy and hot Latin music exercise videos I have ever seen. I don't even feel exhausted afterward, I just feel exhilarated and I've learned some new dance steps.
