Samba Reggae is my top fav workout dvd hands down January 4, 2008
15 out of 15 found this review helpful

This is without a doubt one of my favorite workout DVD's hands down.

Pluses
1) Quenia Ribero is amazing. Her moves are fantastic. Her energy is inspiring. Background dancers know the routine and are really good. Especially, the one on the right. Keep an eye out for her.

2) This is a huge improvement from her Dance Today: Samba video. In this video she explains very well that her left is your right. She also breaks down the moves much better and there is less down time between moves.

3) I like that there is a warm up.

4) The routine is fun. I haven't counted but I think it has like 15+ moves. Much better than some tapes I have that teach you only like 6.

Minuses

1) I thought they could have repeated the full routine at the end of section one at least 3-4 times completely before moving to section 2.

2) The workout is intense. I wish there was a cool down section. But maybe they sacrificed that to include a longer workout so ...

3) Awaiting her 3rd dvd :( when is it coming?

Helpful hints
1) This work out will use every muscle in your body. Don't skip the warm up. Do a cool down on your own when you finish (even though there is not one on the tape to relax after you finish).

2) When she explains the moves. Don't just stand their and watch. Keep marching in place so you don't lose your heart rate.

3) If the moves seem to complicated keep going. After practicing a few times you'll build muscle memory and be moving like a pro in no time.

4) I didn't get all the moves down until the 3rd 4th time I did this DVD. The explanation was good but my body wouldn't comply. But it gave
me something to look forward to conquering the next time so I appreciated the challenge.

4) Fair warning. This tapes makes a lot of other workout DVDs seem boring. I've done it a least three times a week for the last 2 months. (More than any other tape I own except 1)

This is a fast and fun way to work out. It took only a few times to learn the steps. It is the best workout I've had in a long time. I just wish there were different routines to do. But overall, it was great!

This is the second samba work out by Quenia Rivero and watch out, she is energetic!
This is intense body work out and if you don't believe it, try it! This program is well worth above its price.
This program begins with a good thorough warm up session targeting important muscle groups necessary for this intense dance.
Initially Quenia breaks down the basic steps for samba reggae and their variations. This footwork is fast paced. The choreography is lengthy as it is being layed out but when set to the drumming, it will go by rather quickly. The two sessions set you at different paces, so take your pick.The first segment is about 44 minutes, the second is shorter as it is quicker. As you begin and gather speed, the second session is really fun. There is ample repetition and the segments are easy to learn. Set at slow speed and work up to your potential.
Quenia introduces her band and her dancers, as the band does a phenomenal percussion number. Personally I love drum circles, and listening to this distinct drumming does get your mood going.
I would categorize this as a cardio work out, although it is at times high impact aerobic and excellent at that. If I were looking to find fault, the drumming was really distracting in the background during the warm up, the instructor sounded like she was yelling out the drill. Overall, it is titled as a work out, and that it is! Both of Quenia's work-out dvd's are fun and a must have!

I really love samba, have the other Quenia samba DVD which gave a great explanation of the tricky samba step. I love this much much more, and it is probably better for dancers or those with some dance background. The only downside is the weak quality of her audio, her voice gets drowned out by the great band behind her. Other than that, I'm thrilled with this purchase and hope to get more Quenia workouts.
