Fat Burning Dance Party!

From the dvd cover:
Welcome to CRUNCH Fitness! Let’s get this party started! Crunch major calories while you get down with this fun, energetic workout. There are three easy-to-follow workouts that we think are more like parties. There’s salsa party, party funk and the retro party. Even if you’re not a dancer, don’t worry. Jennifer breaks each combo down into basic steps so you can just jump right in with both feet (literally!).
….Exercise doesn’t have to feel like work! So join the Fat Burning Dance Party and get your calorie-burning groove on.
This dvd was simply beyond my current capabilities. You might not need to be a dancer to do it but you do need some semblance of coordination and I have none. The dances are broken down into constituent steps and those steps are practiced a few times before the integrated dance is performed but the demonstration of individual steps is worked into the routine and is very quick. Much of the time I was left wondering exactly what it was the instructor was doing. I feel the program could have been improved by demonstrating each move more slowly. If this would slow down the workout pace it could be offered as an extra for the absolute beginner. I also felt that the warm up and cool down were a little perfunctory. A couple of the moves required knee movement that was definitely not suitable for me.
On the positive side the participants were of a variety of shapes and sizes which was nice to see. And I did break out into a light sweat even though for much of the time I was simply marching along to the music.
This is probably a fun routine for those of intermediate level fitness with reasonable coordination. But for me it only emphasised my inability to move all four limbs in unison.
