Tracy Shaw's Salsacise For Hips And Thighs (DVD 2002)

Contains 5 short (7 minute) work outs.

They're quite fun to do.

They're not really salsa-esque at all.

They're more like aerobics than dance but dance enough that total aerobicophobes like myself can cope.

Much prefer the Rosemary Conley Salsacise videos but for a budget option (as the RC ones are more expensive new and second hand) it's OK.

If you'd like what is largely an aerobics video but that has more interesting/funky music then this would be good.

Each work out is quite short, so it would be good for someone who wants to be able to do something short and sweet, or to have the option to tie several shorter units together.

I have to admit the exercises are nice and easy to follow and a bit more fun than your normal run of the mill excercise DVD/tape. I also liked the fact that there were several sections so you could decide how long you wanted to exercise for rather than having to do the whole DVD in one go. Unfortunatley Tracy Shaws costume got on my nerves because I wasn't really that fussed about watching her chest wobble in time to the music.

As a complete couch potato, I am hoping to wake up fit and healthy with no pain, stress or effort. This has so far not happened - so I thought I would try an exercise video, something a bit dancy and not too high impact.
I have found this quite quick and sometimes lose the steps, but very easy to get the hang of. I like the music and the guy is very fit, its nice to see Tracy getting a bit out of puff though! Recommend for a 'feel good' dancy warm up for those more fit than me, or a good starting place for others.

I really liked the dancing aspect and the DVD is perfect for someone who has not done salsa before. The moves are however, very aerobic and it is best suitable for people who do medium to high impact aerobics. Your calves and sides will be hurting the next day. The side toning exercise is murder! A good work out is provided if all the exercises are completed. But she does make funny noises and can get a bit annoying, I am probably just jealous but her legs really annoy me - how skinny is she?

Bought this to improve a few Salsa steps - in reality this is an exercise DVD that has a bit of salsa music in the background. Great if you want to tone up.
Must admit I found Tracy's dress sense a bit distracting!

I feel this exercise dvd is fun but I dont feel totally worked out after the video. But I do feel like I am in the mood to dance and feel a bit fitter. I feel its a kind of gentle exercise and you can move the next day although she says you cant. I do this video every morning along with healthy eatting and lost 81b in a week. cool

I love this dvd, as it is fun and easy to follow, you feel you are learning a little bit of salsa when you are doing the dvd.

I did not realise however, that this is the second dvd and there was one before this, so i shall purchase that dvd. I would recommend this dvd, but would warn people that you cannot move the next day, but then you know the workout is working.

The best workout you can imagin. I've got some much fun from it. You don't feel taht you're excercising at all. Luv it :D

I have been looking for this title in dvd version for quite a while so I was very pleased when I won this item on Ebay. I have played the dvd quite a few times, sometimes joined by my 5 year old who also like dancing! Very good.
