This workout is fun to watch but it is very hard to follow, especially if you are used to doing your workout to other videos. There is no lead-in to the change in moves; apparently, you are supposed to memorize the routine! I tried to follow but she moved too fast from move to move without any warning or explanation. Maybe it would be easy for people who are good dancers, but I'm a fitness beginner...and this one was just too hard to follow. The music is great, though!

I am now in the process of replacing my tape. My old VCR ate the first one. I love it. The dance moves are great. I have yet to master the body wave but I'm working on it. Once you learn the choreography, you can break a good sweat. The cool down is a divine stretch routine set in a relaxing exotic environment.

At first, Miss Jamaica was irritating. I guess she added flavour to the production. I got used to her. The only other fault I can find with the production is that the routine was not practiced to perfection before taping. The mistakes ruin an otherwise excellent production. Even with the mistakes, I enjoyed doing this workout. I wish they could remake a new and improved version with `tight' choreography and some toning exercises.

I really enjoy this workout. When I am not very motivated, I like to choose a workout that is more dance oriented, since I get a great work out without feeling like I am "working out". I enjoy this one for several reasons, the instructor cues the moves well and shows proper form, it has great island music and beach locales and most of all it is just fun. I don't think you need to be an expert dancer, but if you like to dance it sure helps. It may take a few tries to get down the moves, but once you do, it is a fun work out that leaves you feeling great. Enjoy this workout for what it is, it is a nice, get your behind off the couch and moving kind of routine, it is not a heart pumping, muscle aching kind of work out. Just enjoy the flow of it and like the instructor says, "find your own flavor".
