 Disappointed - not fun as I hopedFeb 05, 2010
I was disappointed in this video. Having read other reviews, and the advertisements I thought this would be really fun. I have not been able to make it through the entire video. All of the "dances" seemed to be the same, only minor variations. I never felt like I was dancing, just trying to move my feet to follow the women on the screen, who also didn't seem to be dancing. I could not get my hips to follow the instructor, and she gave very little help other than which direction to move your feet. The rocking movement may be soothing for the baby, but I am not going to complete a workout that is boring for me. The movements also required very little exertion. I really did not feel like I was gaining many exercise benefits.
I was impressed with the way this DVD was organized. You do not have to do the entire workout. You can skip directly to any song you like. I wish more exercise DVDs were set up that way.
 great fun!Mar 30, 2009
This dvd is a blast. Fun,challenging dances and good, simple floor exercises. I have to skip a few dances and go to the floor routine if I want to do it with the baby, because she's usually sound asleep by the end of #4!

Just not that goodMar 19, 2009
Susan Peach is unclear, hard to follow, boring and stumpy. I felt like i was stomping around stupidly for hours. Its not fun at all. I love Mambo dance and this DVD made me feel like an elephant, or like I would end up with elephant legs. I hate this DVD.

Great way to get off the couch!Mar 04, 2009
All in all - a great introduction to latin dance and a great way for a new mom to get off the couch and move a bit.
What you get - a warm up dance, 6 dance routines (2 merengue, 2 salsa, 2 cha cha cha), floor exercises with baby and some relaxing stretches, all with baby. There is also a bonus dance and some out takes, which are in a different section of the DVD.
The plus side: Peach is a sweet instructor - pleasant, calm and motivating. The dance routines are fun and not too confusing, once you've done them a couple of times, but you do get a nice sweat. The baby is involved or in your arms the entire workout - you don't have to put them aside to watch you for a single moment, unlike other mom-baby DVDs out there. The floor exercises are not too hard and are well known mom-baby classics. Real mothers are shown - not super pretty models.
The minus side: The reason why this lovely DVD looses a star is that babies are shown with their heads hanging forward or sideways from the baby sling without support during some of the dances. I think it is not good for the babies - so watch out - do as Peach does - hold your baby in your arms for maximum support for baby and nice arm workout for yourself! I missed having an option to turn off the instruction and just do the dances without cuing once I've learned them.
You should also know: Some of the music has kind of a Jazzy take on it - which makes it hard to follow for the musically challenged like myself.
All in all - the DVD is quite expensive, but I found it was worth it, and would definitely recommend it to any new mom.

So much fun - even for the uncoordinated!Feb 27, 2009
I tried it with my 5 month old daughter and she giggled and laughed like crazy the first time and the second time she chuckled a little at first and then fell asleep to the motions. The strength-building exercises are great bonding moments for us because she just sits there and grins at me! What could be better motivation than someone who is always on your side and having fun along with you? I am enjoying it immensely and looking forward to it being a regular part of my day!
