4.0 out of 5 stars Fun workout hampered by misguided camera work, September 29, 2001

This review is from: Macarena Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I bought the Macarena workout to use as a "bonus" workout on my Yoga days -- when 30 minutes of aerobics is enough. (I use Elise Foss's Viva! Latin Rhythms Workout as my regular aerobic dance video.) I found Gloria to be an appealing and friendly instructor (what a smile!). She works to build up routines slowly and provides lots of encourage. The routines are fun, and the music used after the Macarena warm-up is quite enjoyable.

That said, I agree with other reviewers that the camera person seems a little too infatuated with closeups of the dancers. Especially the petite woman in the blue workout...yeah, she's flexible, but the closeups of her--which seemed like they were more for another kind of video--did nothing to help me learn the moves. Also, the black and white cut sequences were overly artsy for an instructional tape. Also, my VCR has a little trouble with the tracking on the tape and as a result, I'm not able to turn up the volume to the level I'd like to enjoy the music and hear all of Gloria's instructions.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun workout, can get "old" fast though, August 3, 2000

Gloria Quinlan has a lot of energy and does a good job leading this routine despite a few times when she miscues and some strange usage of the English language (which I find charming rather than annoying). The routine can have a pretty steep learning curve and give you a good workout while you're learning it. But I found that I outgrew the routine quickly. It is a fun one, but best for Beginners I think. However, anyone could use it as a warm up for a toning routine.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful, May 18, 2000

Don't buy this video. The shots centered on the faces, rather than the steps. I could barely hear what the center instructor was saying.
