5.0 out of 5 stars
I LOVE THIS VIDEO. IT IS MOST EFFECTIVE FOR ALL PEOPLE!, January 3, 1999

This review is from: Totally Fit [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Daisy Fuentes provides an excellent, upbeat, high energy workout for people at all levels of physical fitness. The use of upbeat Latin music compliments the Latin dances moves that are cleverly cherographed into the routine and provides the viewer with the motivation to keep going. The length of the actual workout is about 35-40 minutes, which is perfect for those of us who have busy lives. The video also stresses a change in lifestyle and supports it with a segment on how to eat healthy and enjoy yourself at the same time. Daisy's trainer, Giselle, can be a bit annoying, but trust me, the payoff is worth it. So, order this and get TOTALLY FIT!!!....hey, if you have a husband, brother, boyfriend, etc. around while you do this, they won't mind watching Daisy either!

slow going, September 29, 2003
This review is from: Totally Fit [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This video does not work up to breaking a sweat. It is for the extreme beginner who wants an introduction to working out. They go over the steps too slow and do not spend enough time actually working out. The dance steps are simple and few. I bought this video because it was recommended as a dance video. It has your typical workout moves and two very basic latin dance steps. It is a slow going work out video that does not keep you engaged.

Good beginner/easy aerobics, weight, stretch, diet tip workout, June 18, 2007
This review is from: Totally Fit [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This has Giselle with Daisy on an outside basketball course doing the cardio portion. This is mostly old style aerobics. I was very disappointed that there was only 1 cha-cha & samba portion of a larger straight aerobics routines & only for 3 seconds each time done. I got this because I LOVE Giselle from Zumba... she is so young here. She teaches in slow tempo first to show you how a few times, then full tempo.
Next is the weights portion on a platform in someone's very expensive backyard pool osasis (Daisy's? The directors?) with hand weights. After is using a chair for some simple leg lifts and working on the mat for basic ab crunches, reverse sit ups, etc. It ends with a nice stretch of the neck, back, etc. with some yoga poses & basic stretches.
In addition, Daisy teaches you about diet tips & takes you on a informative w/humorous trip through the supermarket complete with comedy music.
This is great for someone who is new to exercise & like aerobics or for a light day for those who workout regularly wanting to do it all: aerobics/weights/abs/stretch. For those who don't like old school cardio/weights workouts like me, skip it.
I gave it maybe too many stars accidentally, but Giselle does have a great personality & good body awareness, and the workout gets straight to the point, no extra talking in between. Compared to other videos, it's pretty good.
To get an idea of Giselle Roque de Escobar's personality, check out her Giselle ABCDs for Total Body Fitness on collagevideo com for a clip since that one has the same style format.
