5 out of 5 stars Amazing Workout!!!!   August 10, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is one of the best and challenging workouts that I have owned. The first 30 minutes always leave me pouring sweat to start. It was very difficult for me to get through the workout my first few times without taking breaks. However, it is a great workout to have fun and get a taste of some authentic dance. There is a great warmup in the beginning although it lacks a cool down. However, yoga or some kind of stretching afterwards on your own will do fine. I completely recommend this workout to anyone who is willing to not give up!

THe packaging is kinda cheesey - like a supermarket womens magazine. But the reviews are solid and good. checks out on youtube.

KABOOM!

im blown away. this video is so good!!! the live drumming is awesome! the best sound track ive heard for any dance or work out video ive seen.

the dancing is killer. not "workout" styled moves you'd be embaressed to break out in a club. these are real awesome dance moves. highly recommended to chicks, but guys do this stuff too. i think its called bahia(?)samba there are some decent clips of brazilian capoeira dudes doing this stuff on youtube. lots of fast body waves. super fun. great core workout.

yes, this video is also a full workout with stretches and etc.

top notch production value - it looks and sounds killer. and a great price. this is one of my new favorites




4 out of 5 stars Great change of pace   July 19, 2008

This is a great "workout" for a change of pace. I would not consider this a DVD that would be part of a regular rotation. However, if you are looking for something fun, challenging and different, this is definitely it. This is definitely designed to be more of a workout than Quenia Ribeiro's Samba DVD.

It begins with an excellent warm up and stretch routine. Then Quenia moves into the choreographed routine that provides a challenging cardio workout. She's great at going over the moves and layering so that you are ready to build and move on to the next part of the routine. The live drummers are a fantastic addition as you feel as though you are in an African/Brazilian dance class. Everyone seems to be genuinely having a good time doing the routine, which makes the DVD even more fun and engaging. My only concern would be the knees. You have to make sure not to go overboard on some of the more advanced movements because you can definitely injure your knees on this one. Other than that, I have no complaints.

Created as a dance workout, this DVD is fantastic. Quenia is clearly a gifted dancer and instructor who thoroughly enjoys her work. That she presents her workout against the backdrop of a live band and others who seem to enjoy the music and dance makes this DVD stand out in its genre. My quibbles with this DVD are that she does not seem to be wired and it is not always easy to hear her over the live music. She gives good instruction but it's not always easy to hear what she is saying.

This DVD presents a deceptively challenging workout. Within five minutes of it Quenia has gotten your heart rate up and isolated weaker body areas. If you have problems with your knees or hips this may not be the workout for you. It is, however, moderately intense and very sexy. What a fun way to work out!

Quenia is an excellent instructor, very clear and organized. She knows her stuff, so let her teach you. Once you learn the steps, you can do them to other samba music and not be restricted to the video. You hardly notice it's a workout until afterwards.
