Socacize DVD - An Exhilarating Caribbean Workout

I just finished my 1st workout. I recently lost almost 100 lbs. So I work out a lot. Not in the best shape still, but I can keep up pretty well. I wasn''t winded or anything, but it was sometimes hard to keep up because there was very little preparation for the transition to the next move. However, overall it was very fun. It went by so quickly. Before I knew it the 45 minutes was done. And I timed it, so I know it was the full 45 minutes EXACTLY! The warm up was great, the cardio was great. I expected more from the upper body toning. I loved the lower body toning. The abs were challenging, but that''s a good thing. Some of the stretches were a little hard to do. But it''s good to be challenged and have something to work up to. It was very fun and not to mention SEXY! My advice would be to watch the whole DVD through at least once before the 1st workout and you should be fine. Will be doing this daily!

This workout is SO.MUCH.FUN!!!! The energy of the exercisers and the up tempo music make the time fly by and you hardly realise that you''re burning calories. You don''t need to be dancer to do this one, you just need to be able to go with the flow and let yourself enjoy.

There is a warm up followed by dedicated upper body,lower body toning segments and an abs section. The DVD ends with a cool down.

Only 2 critiques.1. the transition to some moves is a bit fast but this is a minor observation. 2. The cool down feels a but long but some people might enjoy this.

Overall I would recommend getting this one and having a blast!

The instructor, I thought, is perfect. She is energetic, without any of the fake perkiness typical of many workout instructors. And the workout is tremendous, high impact and using muscles you probably have not used in other cardio workouts giving you quite the burn. One of the major pluses of this workout is that it has one of the most intense, comprehensive cooldown/stretch section I have ever personally seen in a cardio video. Most I have done are cursory at best. This minimized soreness IMO. The ab section is great and so is the upper body toning. I thought the lower body was a bit weak, but she gives your lower body a thumping in cardio so I give her a pass.

Why did I dock one star? Because she is terrible at cueing. Now, note that this video does not break down steps for you so you basically start off in full speed. Thus, cueing when to shift steps or transition to the next move or what to watch out when it comes to form is extra critical. She is okay with this in the "wine and tone" sections but in the cardio sections, she is not at all helpful. You will eventually catch on to transitions (you are on your own when it comes to form, mostly) but I think cueing is a very important part of any routine, especially when you switch between workout tapes constantly, and given the high speed of this cardio routine.

Key things to keep in mind:

1. She does not break down steps for you, so you better be prepared to take longer learning this routine, or to pay careful attention.

2. Requires a LOT of space. If you have a small crowded study you might knock over stuff.

3. You need very good shoes. This is high impact. Plus, if you have knee trouble, hip trouble or ankle trouble, you might want to google the moves first to see if you can do all the jumping and wining down.
