While I knew aerobic exercise was important, I couldn't find a workout I enjoyed...until now. Through her Viva! Latin Rhythm Workout video, Elise has given me my first positive experience with aerobic exercise. I look forward to each workout, knowing that I will feel great while doing it and feel energized afterward.

The moves are sexy and fun. I love it when Elise says, "Once more, with attitude!" or "Shake anything you find on your way down." Her cueing is excellent -- I never feel lost. That said, I can't always do a step correctly for the first few times, but I follow her advice to not worry about how I look, and soon I find that my execution improves over time.

Because you can continue to enhance your workout by adding more more arms and hip movements to each step, I think this video will have a long life in my workout routine. After years as a couch potato, it was a big achievement for me to make it through the entire video--I wanted to find Elise and hug her! I'm still working on getting the Samba down, but I'm not so worried about it -- I'm just enjoying the sweat and my new-found endurance.

I recently tried this video and it's a great workout. It's hard not to get excited while watching it. My 17 year old niece loves it too, especially learning the new dance steps. It's about the right length and challenging enough to do over and over.

Great Workout with Rhythm! Elise Foss is fantastic with her easy-to-follow salsa aerobic. I use it at home every day and have produced fantastic results in trimming body fat in the right spots. I love the rhythm---> RESULTS: I FEEL GREAT and everyone tells me I LOOK GREAT! THANKS ELISE!

I'm always looking for a new twist for my workouts. I recently borrowed this from a friend. I liked it so much, I bought my own. Elise has such a great energy level and enthusiasm, that you can't help but move along with her. It's a good pace and a great workout! The latin theme is great and you don't have to be a dance expert to figure out the steps. I know there's a Spanish edition, too. I hope she makes another one soon!

This is a great fun workout, which turned a confirmed exercise-hater into someone who could it every other day. The music is also great, which helps.

I really enjoyed this exercise video because the rhythm and the instructor made me want to dance! I learned cool dance steps that I can use. Finally, there is an easy Latin rhythm class to follow in your home!

Just purchase this on DVD and loved it....it is fun, the cueing is great, the music is great, and it is easy to keep up with.

I just purchased this video and I am still trying to become coordinated, but I am catching on quickly. I love this work-out. I am not much for aerobics(I prefer strength training), but this video is very motivating and definately gets the heart rate up. I know nothing about dance, but this video is inspiring. Elise Foss is a great host. She makes the moves look easy and always has a smile on her face. She is very encouraging in a quirky fun-loving manner. A couple step aerobic videos I have tried were too fast and complicated for a beginner like myself. Elise explains the moves briefly before the routine and offers suggestions before the workout. There is both a warm-up and cool down at the end. I love the moves and rhythm. She explains her form very well and is ever encouraging. I am a mother of two and this video helps give me the energy to last all day with two young boys (toddler and infant).

This has quickly become one of my favorite workout videos. The music is simply infectious, as is Elise's enthusiasm. Elise Foss is graceful and certainly has "got rhythm" and it's really a lot of fun to follow her moves, learning the authentic Latin dance moves while losing weight - and believe me, you are burning those calories - this video gets you sweating!

This video is the Spanish version, but even if you aren't fluent (as I am not), you can still easily follow Foss's cues and pick up some new vocabulary. And, hey, that's another bonus! I mean, why just lose weight, when you can lose weight and practice your Spanish so when you get that body you want you can take that trip to Acapulco and look great at the beach?! Not to mention, know how to salsa when you get to the nightclub?

I tend to dread exercising, but love dancing. I thought I'd try this video to see if I would like it. After reading the many reviews, I thought it was worth a try. I loved it. I actually wasn't wishing it was over with like I do with other exercise programs. I still have to get a few of the moves down, but even with not doing all of them correctly, I was really working up a sweat. I did it before dinner and wasn't even that hungry for dinner afterwards (a plus!).
