I first came across this workout show on Fit TV. I liked it but because of the commerical breaks it disrupts my flow and gave up on it. When it came out in dvd form I thought I would give it a try and after doing the 83minutes!!!! I can say I love it. I love how Shelley McDonald does a step/kickbox work out and a kickbox floor workout. She is not your typical instructor with the bouncy annoying factor. She is like a normal chick I would train at the gym with and she has a body that is fit and not over the top skinny or bulky. I highly recommend this video for anyone who is sick of paying $10 or more for a 30 minute work out. This one is broken up in 4 segments but instead of cooling down between each I just keep my heart rate up by doing a march and then start the new workout and stretch with the last work out and add my own stretches. I am hoping this video will help me get back in shape. I have a feeling it will. And I am now looking at buying more of these tapes in the series.

I've always enjoyed the Caribbean Workouts, and these are no exception. The aerobics DVD has two low-impact and two hi-low workouts, and the kickboxing DVD has two kickboxing routines and two step-kickboxing routines. This set comes with a total of eight routines, all of which are engaging, challenging, effective and, most importantly, fun. I'm not an expert, by any means, but I avidly enjoy aerobics routines, roughly 4-5 times a week for several years. It's important to me to keep a variety on hand so I don't get bored, but I find myself using Caribbean Workout routines over and over again. The only thing I will warn about is that two of the aerobics routines require a bit of room to be fully effective. Shelley McDonald has the participants march forward and back in several spots, and without a big room, you'll have to adapt the move. Not the DVD's problem by any means -- just something to keep in mind.

It's just okay. A bit boring with redundant moves. But it is verrry tiring, which for exercise, is a good thing!

Easy to follow. I needed something to do when I'm short on time (most of the time). This is perfect. About 20 minutes for each workout.I'd say it's moderate intensity.

Simple and Nicely done. Nice colorful scenery. Nice music. Nice location. Beautiful backgrounds and props. And of course nice chicks.

I didn't even have to leave my chair to get my heart rate up.
