Zumba Exhilrate Step by Step



Zumba's Step by Step workout is approximately 60 minutes in length and it is led by Gina Grant and Tanya Beardsley.

While this DVD is quite a bit instructional as Gina and Tanya take you slowly through the different rhythms (breaking down each move), when the tempo picks up you do feel as if you are getting a workout. However, there is a lot of stopping and starting.

Within each rhythm, different variations of the rhythms are taught for a well rounded program.

The rhythms taught are:

1. Merengue (March, 2 Step, 6 count, Zumba Shuffle)

2. Salsa (Sidestep, Forward & Back, Travel, Back)

3. Reggaeton (Stomp, Knee Lift, Destroza, Bounce)

4. Calypso (Basic, Tobago, Cross, Curacao)

5. Cumbia (2 step, Forward & Back, Sleepy Leg, Sugar Cane)

6. Bellydance (stance, tap, figure 8, shimmy)


Love the music. If the music in Step by Step, is a showcase of what will be in the rest of the Exhilarate DVDs, I am going to love this series.


Irritating - Gina and Tanya constantly referring to each other a G and T.

  3. How does the program work? As far as what? Weight Loss? For me the Zumba workouts are great calorie burn workouts. However, most dance type workouts are (for me at least). Plus I have fun. I am doing a few of the workouts this month and what I find is I don't necessary like all the steps, many are repetitive - so I make up my own and then join in on the steps I like.

  5. No. Those are three individual weekly plans that Program Guide suggest as a way to get you started.

  11. Veronica, the Total Body Stretch is a paper workout. It is not on the DVD. The booklet that comes with it, shows the stretching exercise.

  12. Mimi,
    I get good calorie burn with my Zumba workouts. If you are also watching what you eat (eat less than you burn) you should loose weight.

  13. My friend doesn't have the Total Body Stretch workout. Can you by any chance upload it? I would be so grateful if you did. I really need to lose some lbs, and those workout- workout routines don't cut it for me. I have done the Exhilirate and Activate dvds, I am starting with the 10 day program. Thanks so much!

    The exercises in the Total Body Stretch workout are:
    Overhead Arm Stretch
    Chest Stretch
    Neck Stretch
    Shoulder Stretch
    Quadriceps Stretch
    Calf Stretch
    Hamstring Stretch
    Hip Flexor Stretch

    All of these stretches are basic type stretches. And really the stretching that is done at the cool down sections of the Exhilarate and Activate workouts will cover the above exercises.

  17. Hi Sandra,
    Im a bit confused. My friend burned her DVD and then she gave me a soft copy of the workout. I have like 4 videos in the Ripped folder and so on so I'm confused. When the schedule says ripped do I do all 4 videos?
    Sorry it might be straight forward in the DVD set but its confusing with the soft copy.
    Thanks

  18. Sorry for the late reply.
    I only have two workout on the ripped DVD.
    What you might see is that each workout also has the option for verbal cuing or music only.
    I can't find the schedule right now but each workout is about 30 minutes so you can just do whatever you have time for.
