Item #5555	$14.95	In-stock: Yes

A high-energy workout that combines classic aerobics with the sensuous excitement of Latin dance. You won’t master specific Latin dance steps; you will burn fat and have fun (“make it your own; play with it; add the hips, make it sexy …”). Jennifer Galardi uses traditional “add-on” teaching. She begins with a basic aerobic pattern and then gradually blends in the Latin flavor (e.g. a step-touch that smoothly evolves into a fluid mambo/merengue sequence). Youthful, vibrant class with motivating, move-your-feet music. ©2008. DVD has: Close captions, Region 1.

Crunch Latin Rhythms

More Fun from Jennifer

I had pre ordered this video specifically due to Jenn, whose videos I love. No, it is not the most intense Crunch video, but I am coming back from some time away from regular workouts, so it was nice to be able to get through the entire thing. The moves are fun and the music really works here, you just keep dancing. I didn't notice any more whooping than usual from the cast, and in fact, they seem more subdued, just smiling and having a good time; there's even a guy in the back enjoying himself. I was disappointed that this seems like the first Crunch video that is not chaptered, if you wanted to skip something you would have to fast forward. It's unusual, were they in a hurry to put this one out? Nevertheless, you will enjoy this for a lighter day but still get a good workout and have some fun. - posted by Cathy on 10/19/2008

It's Fun! Not intense, but FUN! (beg/int, maybe)

It is what it is: a Crunch dance dvd, with the usual goofy costumes and "whoops" from the background exercisers. You know to expect that from Crunch by now, right? It's unchaptered (though it seems that the three segments could have been easily chaptered). I'm giving it a full five stars because it's exactly what it claims to be, the routine is fun, and the instructor is great as usual. Jen's actually a favorite and I preordered for that reason. I'm not disappointed, though I do kinda wish it was more intense; I was hoping for something more like her DOTI in intensity. It's more fun than Jen's original Crunch dance workout, but about equally intense. It's a great no dread factor dvd for a light day. I think it maybe should have not been rated solid intermediate, but that's maybe just me. For those who care, not all moves are repeated on both sides (I know that's a pet peeve for some). If you are into dancey cardio (like me!), you can't go wrong with Jen's dvds (her DOTI is still my fave though). This one will get some use from me! - posted by Laura on 9/24/2008

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
