Hello, I have been using the first workout DVD when I can't jog, and I really enjoy it- I can feel pretty and fun where a lot of exercise just makes me feel sweaty and heavy. I have found that I dont get as tired from this but still seem to have good results as well.

I tried to order the dance workouts through the sparkpeople website, but since I live in Canada, that was not an option. But ... I found them on amazon.ca and have ordered 2 of them along with a flow workout. I figure that I need all the help I can get ... I have not worked out for more than 10 years as I was diagnosed with lupus around that time and was in constant pain ... and I also went back to university to get my degree in social work, so had very little discretionary time after taking care of my family and going to school full time, and working at a practicum as well. So ... lack of movement helped me pack on a considerable amount of extra weight (and quitting smoking helped there too) but now I want to get back to becoming active and fit, and learning to dance the samba and other dances sounds like a lot of fun!

Um, if you promise not to laugh. I have these DVDs but have to try them yet. Someday soon I'll get brave enough... probably on my next day off.

I just ordered the dance tapes since I love to dance and hate to exercise. I have been on program 3 weeks now and this past week I gained a pound :( I was very discouraged and I do realize I need to move!

I cant wait to get the tapes now so I can get started.

Care to dance??

My name is Christy Anne and I joined this message board because I'm interested in these workouts and have some questions on them. I'll post my q's under the video's thread. :)

Well, I'm a very young 49+ year old mom of 4 young men, I work in a museum, so I already walk A LOT, but I needed more. I needed something that would help me work out the knots I sometimes feel from those periods I have to stand or work in a confined space. I love to dance, so I think I can really get into this and stick with it. Who knows, maybe I'll start dancing around the museum also.

I just ordered this Brazilian dance DVD. Since I LOVE to dance I thought it was a no brainer for me. I can't wait until it comes.

Hi everybody!

I am Kara, 44, from Minnesota. For a year or more, I've been doing mostly Leslie Sansone DVDs with a few from WeightWatchers, Prevention, and Denise Austin. It's time to "kick it up a notch" and also to try something different. Brazilian dance looks like fun --- I think of myself as a person who can't dance, but I like Latin music, it didn't look or sound TOO tough, and finally I figured who knows... I'm now doing a lot of other fitness things I never though I could! So I ordered all three today.

I'm looking forward to trying these and hopefully some discussion and encouragement here on the Vanessa Isaac team.

Feel free to stop by my SparkPage. That explains more about me and my journey than I can do in one post.

Hello Samba Babes! I have learning to dance high on my list of goals and as I approach my first weight goal (9 pounds to go then I can tak on the rest of the 30 pounds! ) I was excited to see this Samba offering for $15.

Help - is this a video or a dvd. It does not say on the description or on the ordering info. Has anyone ordered it and used it and can tell me it is a dvd? We are phasing out our video player and I don't want a fat video when I can have the slim dvd! Thanks....

Hello my name is Sassy am 33yrs. old, wife and mother of 2 sons. I ordered the Brazilian Dance workout cause I wanted something different to alternate with my other workouts. Plus sometimes I can not get to the gym so I can still workout at home.

Hello I am new. I ordered one of the Dance DVDs Tonight. I can't wait to get started. I was drawn to this team because I seen the DVD on the Home page of Sparks and Dancing is something that I really like to do. I think it will keep me Motivated to get up and dance away the pounds daily.
