This was one of the first exercise videos that I ever did and I've enjoyed it for more than a few years now. The opening warm up is much longer than most of the other videos I own and it stretches a lot more muscles than, say, the Cardio series does. A good 45 minutes long, the people in it teach the dance steps one at a time and constantly repeat them to ensure that the viewer understands them. The camera work is decent - it doesn't go into too many close-ups and allows the viewer to see the foot movements - and the people actually doing the exercises aren't nearly so godawful annoying as many other of the dancers on other exercise videos are. (Cardio Salsa, I'm lookin' at you!)

True, this is a light-weight video when it comes to the amount of energy required, but it's perfect for those of us who are perpetually out-of-shape and it makes exercise enjoyable again. Plus, the music isn't horrible, either. MTV did a good job with this one.

This video did very little for me. Not only was the warm-up too short, the actual dance with each combo gets old real fast. By the third time I did the video I knew the dance and just wanted them to get on with it and stop explaining. Good for low impact or for people with a lack of coordination. If yer looking for a good cardio this video comes up short. And let me tell you, you wont be catching me do any of these moves at a club!

VHS tape was damaged in 1 spot for about 30 seconds. The rest of the tape was fine. Delivery was very fast. Content- my least favorite of the Grind series, but still an excellent workout.

Okay ladies, we all know Eric is the hunkiest-hunk-o-rama-damn-I-wanna-hunk-wit-ya, I have lost 350 lbs., I love Eric

I lost 400 pounds doing this video! It's almost like my bible. I sleep with him every night.
