Zumba Slimdown Party [DVD]

I just had to review following my second go at 'Zumba Slimdown Party'. This DVD is their best yet!!!! Bato and his producers/marketing people have nailed this one.Being a Zumba-enthusiast I fully appreciated that Bato is not only focusing on new comers but also doing fantastically to retain his old fans too. He heavily encorperated the top tracks from all of his DVDs and the games. What a difference to LOVE the tracks and choreography! :-))I love 'Zumba max' the tracks were 'sped up as well - you need the speed to burn the calories and to challenge your fitness.If you are new there is a basic step routine as well, please use this newbies! I used the beginners routine when Zumba first started, this could be your new found love to fitness, in a really fun way!What I loved the most (particularly in 'Zumba Max') was how Beto and his dancers were going for it, as a crew with all there unique dance styles it looked like they were genuinely having fun. I think marketing people thought that if it looked too technical it may intemmidate newbies, but actually when you see how amazing they are it's an incentive to try, and have a unique style too.Talking of dance styles I loved watching the petite dancer in the purple top, from watching her she seems like a dancing pro.. amazing!! 😍I was sad that Gina didn't feature in the DVD, but great to see so many of the other dancers from the other dvds all dancing together 👍🏻👍🏻.Literally cannot wait for the next Zumba DVD!!! perhaps a 'Best of' could be brought out... featuring Gina, and old diamond Tania Beardsley. Such talent...Thank you Bato and his empire! Amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

These are really fun workouts at a good level, not too easy, but not too hard for someone who has done Zumba before. I’m so disappointed that there isn’t a choice of audio on this dvd like there is on the other dvd ‘Zumba’ where you can choose whether or not to have the voiceover with instructions or just the music. Having to have the voiceover on the longer workouts kind of spoils it for me, especially when the voiceover says listen to the music - I would if I could turn it up and turn him off! For me, much of the enjoyment of Zumba is the music so I’m not thrilled that they got rid of that option and you’re left with a slightly flat sounding instructor’s voice. The only other criticism is that there is no cool down for the 20 minute express workout, yes you can make up your own but it’s not ideal.

I had bought this video at Superdrug for myself and I loved it. I decided to give it as a present to my niece who lives abroad and have ordered one from Amazon as Superdrug no longer supplied it. I have done the 20mins express and the Latin burst as I can easily fit them into my day or when I get back from work. It's a great way to get in shape at home if you don't have time to go to the gym and it's very easy to follow and I love the Latin music.

It’s a fairly good workout. The people in it are slightly irritating, but overall I’d recommend.

What an excellent DVD. I'm a Zumba beginner who loves dancing so this is great fun. Lively , charismatic and this makes it fun to do. The music is just fab and there is a choice as to the level of workout you do .So far I have only done the 20 mins one but have found this fairly straightforward and good fun. Others on there are more intense but you can choose how much you do. An excellent and actually enjoyable form of exercise. It's even made in collaboration with Beto the founder of Zumba and one of the routines is led by him. Really impressed with this .

Having never done Zumba before, but loving dancing and especially to anything with a Latin feel, I decided to treat myself to this before trying out a class. Now I don’t need the class because I’m loving doing this at home. Very energetic workout but great fun to do. I’ve even found myself smiling whilst panting and sweating! For me that’s what tells me it’s my kind of thing

It's ok

The beginner bits are a bit boring if you are used to Zumba, but really enjoy doing the other parts of this DVD. Routines not hard to follow, especially if you have done Zumba before. Certainly feel I have worked up a sweat following this and would recommend for home use in-between classes. Great DVD if you are starting out and want to progress through each stage of the DVD.
