I want some variety in my cardio.

Ive got my eye on these, but would like some more suggestions before i purchase anything.

Dance Off The Inches: Sizzling Salsa
Dance Off The Inches: Hip Hop party
Dance w/me 5 day latin Dance system with Lisa Nunziella

I would say im at a intermediate/advanced level in cardio.

Any suggestions i would appreciate, and if anyone reading has any of these...please give me your thoughts on them!

    I have the hip hop party and it's pretty fun, although I have to say, I haven't done it in forever:embarassed: I get tired of DVD's after awhile...but I see you mentioned zumba? I am going to my first class tonight! It looks like it's fun!

    I have a friend that has lost 40 lbs doing Weight Watchers and Salsa dancing... She LOVES it...
    I have heard awesome things about Zumba! I really want to join a class or find a dvd.... I haven't had any luck on a class....thinking maybe I can talk an instructor at the gym into looking into it :wink:
    Good luck!!! Dancing is fun and it can burn lots of calories!! Go for it!
  • I just googled it.
    It's like Latin Dance meets Tae Bo. Sounds fun!

    I just recently bought a 4DVD Zumba Set and I really enjoy it. The music is fun and upbeat and the instructors are too. The only thing with a DVD is you need variety or they get boring. I use them when I can't get outside to hike and in the winter I'll be doing a 3 or 4 month gym membership. The gym I'm most likely joining offers Zumba as one of it's classes. I bet it's way fun to do in a class setting.
