Editorial Review: Amazon.com: You've got to hand it to Kathy Smith--the indefatigable diva of fitness has a knack for staying on top of the cultural curve. Her peppy Kickboxing Workout came out right on the kicking heels of The Tae-Bo Workout and added much-needed polish to that popular workout's moves. Smith's Latin Rhythm Workout, released in the fall of 1999, capitalizes on America's love affair with Ricky Martin and Latin music in general. The workout has great music (unlike a few of Smith's previous videos), provided by a live band at the Conga Room in Los Angeles, and a lot of infectious energy from Smith and her core group of fellow dancers. Whether this works as a workout for you, though, will depend on how quickly you can absorb dance steps. In fact, it's unlikely to get your heart rate up to decent workout levels, unless you're a fairly accomplished dancer used to throwing yourself into the steps. The tape includes a very brief warm-up, and then segments that essentially teach steps like the cha-cha, the samba, and the merengue, followed by a few minutes of cool-down. Because the steps aren't strenuous per se, there aren't two workout levels provided, as in most of Smith's tapes. Included is a bonus segment for you and a partner, to teach you how to take the steps onto the dance floor of your favorite salsa club. --Anne Hurley Average Rating:
 Rating:  - OkThe 2 20-minute workouts get 3 stars and the bonus section 5 stars. This workout is pretty easy to follow and I thought, Kathy did a very good job teaching each type of dance step in the first part of the workout. However, there are sections in the middle and in the second half that didn't flow well. It seemed that she was not in synch with the music at times, which was distracting. The music isn't that great either. Also, if you've ever tried the awesome Latin Xplosion with Carlos then you ... Read More Rating:  - Not very goodSorry Kathy, this one didn't work for me. I've been a fan of Kathy's for many year's and have many of her video's, but this one disappointed me. The steps were poorly described, and the other dancer's often demonstrated more advanced moves to the dances which made it difficult to keep my attention. Overall, I don't recommend this one unless you want an 'ok' cardio work-out with basic moves to latin rhythms that are hard to follow. Patti Rating: - WorkoutLove this video. Provides a great quick workout as well as teaching basic latin dance steps. Rating:  - I hated it! This is the worst workout dvd I ever purchased. Kathy Smith zips through the steps in seconds and you can't see because it is so dark. To many people are crammed in one small area and she has professional dancers on each side showing us how "easy" it is. The little brunette professional dancer grinning up at the camera and completely showing off made it unwatchable. Let alone keep up with. Rating:  - Excellent!Kathy Smith has always amazed me with her hard workouts that she makes fun and energizing. Browse for similar items by category:
