Susan Tuttle in Home Fitness: Spicy Latin Dance Cardio Workout

A high-energy fat-burner led by an enthusiastic instructor. It's upbeat and fun with lots of variety — the steps range from traditional aerobic favorites to moderately challenging Latin dance. Susan Tuttle keeps you motivated with a passionate personality and limited instruction (she simply cues the move and the direction — you get to focus on the music and the motion). The first section is slightly less dancy and a little faster paced. The second lowers the tempo — but boosts the complexity — with more challenging steps like “salsa circle” “rhumba box” and “the bachata” (this segment ends with a near-toning series of knee lifts, squats and lunges). Lively, authentic Latin vocal soundtrack.

Get ready for two 30-minute fun, exhilarating, fat-blasting and muscle toning cardio workouts. Have you ever wanted to develop the skills for Latin Dance moves such as Belly Dancing, Cha-Cha, Samba, Bachata, Merengue, Cumbia and Rumba? Susan Tuttle will show you easy-to-follow dance steps, but the music alone will get your feet moving.

WORKOUT 1 incorporates dynamic pulling and pumping cardio moves to raise your metabolism and burn fat. These upper body moves originate from your core which create more abdominal tone and sizzling physique.

WORKOUT 2 targets your lower body building lean muscle in addition to calorie burning cardio moves. Build muscle in your glutes, thighs, calves and hamstrings to melt off fat and maximize your endurance.

Do the full hour non-stop to increase the challenge even more. When you have the moves down try the music only version and enjoy the dance experience.
