 Fun and challenging, not for beginnersMay 02, 2009
By blueyed.dancer
I didn't even buy this on Amazon I bought this at Best Buy 2 weeks ago and since then its been my favorite workout video. I must say, this video does not break it down, it just dives right in, so beginners and the uncoordinated, beware! As someone who has a lot of dance experience I appreciated the challenge as I'm tired of wimpy dance workouts and this one is definitely not wimpy. Latin Waist Sizzler workout is fast paced and she demonstrates a lot of fun latin inspired moves like merengue, mambo, cha cha, even a little flamenco arms/hands. Dancers Silhouette workout uses abdominal isolations like rib slides and balance exercises to tone the core muscles. The rest of the segments are consistent and challenging but also very fun. If you are a good intermediate to advanced dancer and looking for a dance workout thats challenging try this one. If you are a beginner or looking for something easy look elsewhere.

 EnjoyableJul 04, 2009
By Tchik182
Before I counter some of the claims by other reviewers, I'll tell you about the DVD. As billed, the DVD consists of 5, 10 minute segments, supposedly designed to work your abs. Unless I concentrate extremely hard on my abs the entire time, this work out doesn't really work your abs. The DVD is probably designed to decreased over all body fat, and therefore belly fat as a result. You can customize a workout by putting as many as 6 segments (with 1 repeat segment) into any order you choose. The "Dancer's Silhouette" segment isn't really cardio, it's more overall toning. The music choice is great, and Petra is encouraging and fun, as always. The cueing is adequate. There are very brief warm ups and cool downs with each segment. My complaint with this DVD is that I don't like my cardio broken into short segments. I feel like it's hard to keep my heart rate up; that's why I gave this DVD 4 stars instead of 5. However, I know that's the point of the 10 Minute Solutions DVDs and I don't own any other 10 Minute Solution DVDs for this reason. I bought this one strictly because I am a big fan of Petra Kolber.
Several reviewers complained about the lack of instruction. However, with the segments being only 10 minutes long, I don't know how there is time have every move broken down at half-time. Petra would never make it through more than 3 moves in 10 minutes. There are times when Petra breaks the moves down at half-time, for moves that are a little more challenging. I don't think this DVD is very difficult. If you can do box steps, mambos, pony steps and a kick, ball change, you can do this DVD. As with all excercise DVDs, the first time I try the DVD, I falter; but with successive attempts, the DVD gets easier. There are no complicated turns, and the one time Petra introduces a turn, she says you don't have to do it.
I do prefer Petra Kolber's 3-2-1 Dance [ASIN:B0010QH1GE 3 2 1 Dance]]. If you really like dance DVDs, without the short segments, I highly recommend 3-2-1 Dance.

Fantastic! For dance lovers everywhereMay 24, 2009
By D. D. Leon
This is my favorite 10 Min Solution DVD and I own almost all of them. I understand how it can be frustrating for some exercisers, because the choreography is fast and with some complexity. That said, you will definitely get an effective cardio & core workout when you do it correctly. All the segments end with a very short but efficient stretch that feels like a continuation of the dance.
- Latin Beat: My favorite. Quick-moving latin combos.You get mambos,
chachas, flamenco, merengue and even a little tango. I had
a lot of fun learning this one.
- Dancer's Sillouette: The emphasis here is to elongate the body doing a
routine that feels like a tai-chi and modern dance fusion.
I feel taller and more graceful after this segment, so I
do it last. Easy to learn because is the slowest.
- Belly Blaster: The fastest; you'll need lots of energy. The routine is
complex, but it really works the abs. The moves range from
jazz squares to mambos and snakes.
- Attitude & Energy: A sexy routine , I feel like a backup dancer. You'll
do a lot of shoulder moves, attitude walks, a kick
ball-change and arm reaches.
-Fat Burning Beat: You'll burn calories and work your core with
chest-pops, hip moves and knee-ups.
These routines are taught by Petra Kolber, who has like two decades of
experience in fitness and who was the star of many Reebok videos. She was
an 'IDEA Instructor of The Year' and she was first trained as a dancer. I think you are in good hands here; so listen to her cues and have fun!

 unless you majored in choreography in college, skip this dvd.Jun 21, 2009
By Chandler
Picture it.
You're on vacation taking a tour of some television studios.
You are offered a seat to view "Dancing with the Stars".
Then, midshow, much to your shock and surprise, they pull you out of the audience and tell you you were supposed to know the steps and it's your turn to be on stage.
Go!
**shudder**
I felt as though such a nightmare had come to fruition upon pushing "play" during this cardio dvd.
Don't get me wrong now... I gotta start out by saying it's not that I am not fit.
it's not that I don't know dance steps.
it's not that I hate to workout...
Ya gotta understand, I workout 6 days every week to a collection of over 100 workout dvds that I've collected through the years and I rotate them to get a variety.
I have many many other of the ten minute workouts and LOVE them.
I have other dvds by Petra, the instructor, that I enjoy as well.
so I'm not just being hard on her due to some lack of comparison, mind you. I gotta throw that in..
But I'll get to all that. First, it's just not a calorie burner according to my heart rate monitor. If it were, I'd give it more stars for that alone...but you are more likely to burn higher calories if you just wash your car or dance to the radio. sorry, I wish it weren't so but it is what it is.
Secondly, I think if you are anything like me you'll be far less frustrated if you just dance to the radio as well. There is NO warm up (I guess it's not really needed though since you don't burn many calories; maybe there is just no strain) and she just starts dancing...NO instruction, no cueing to speak of throughout. It is truly like being thrown on stage with a partner doing their half of the routine on Dancing with the Stars and you know you are expected to be the other half of the routine following along, but you keep shouting "Wait y'all!! No one taught me the steps!! You forgot to teach me the routine!"
but here's the thing. There are people who would find themselves in the midst of a choreographed dance routine that they were never taught and they'd pick it up somehow on the fly. They already know the names of all the dance steps so if someone shouts it out they don't even need to think or get instruction; they just begin moving in time to the foxtrot or merinque or chacha or whatever. Unfortunately for me, that,my friends, is not me. Should you identify with my own dilemna, then this one will leave you in the dust as well without instruction.
...unless you majored in dance in college with a minor in choreography.
but even if you don't have that degree in choreography, you'd best have majored in dance because she'll just call out names of various dance steps and you are expected to keep up. That, by the way, is her "instruction".
So, I gave it one star for that...there ARE professional dancers out there who will love this one...especially if you have a knack for mindreading as well and can figure out what the heck you are to do next. I kid.
Otherwise, God love her, you'll wind up hitting "rewind" a whole lot or pausing to go "wha???" as she dances away on her own.
I agree with the other reviewer as well that adding more dancers would have helped but it would still be a dvd that goes in the "giveaway" pile. the cueing is just that bad, I'm sorry to say.
Maybe if you did this dvd every day for awhile...I would say if you are great at dance then this one's for you. It does have it's audience...

Great WorkoutJun 07, 2009
By Colorful Girl
This is a great workout. Petra is a great teacher, very professional, great cueing and fun choreography. There is no warm-up. There are 5 - 10 minute routines. I would have prefered a few less "box-steps" and "mombos" but the quality of the production far outweighs any of my personal wishes. If you like to dance your way fit,,, then this is a DVD for you.
