DVD : Caribbean Workout: Sculpt That Body |
- Not Exactly Deaf/HoH FriendlyI originally purchased this DVD because it was supposed to be subtitled. No subtitles or closed-captioning to be found (I told Amazon.com to change the description).
And to make things "worst" for those who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing, the screen shot focuses on several areas rather than the whole body view.
Wish I could comment on the content of the video, but really can't if I couldn't follow the movements and instructions.
I wouldn't suggest the Caribbean Workout series for those who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

- Camera work detracts from the workoutThere are three workouts on this DVD, but the only one I tried was the chi ball workout and, I was so annoyed that I have no interest in doing the others. Whoever did the camera work and editing for this needs a good swift kick in the behind. If it was a travel video, the constant switching to views of the water and the sky and the scenery would be appropriate; however, this is supposed to be a workout video and the camera should remain on the instructor and participants so the viewer can see what the heck they are doing. Also, the camera often seemed to be focused in on bellies and chests when it should have been providing a full body shot so you could see changes in arm/foot movements. I suppose if you did the workout often enough, you would be able to anticipate the changes without needing to see them, but when you are first learning, it is definitely a hindrance. Had I not been so distracted by the camera angles, I might actually have enjoyed this workout. This is going on my trade pile.

- Good variety of brief workoutsThe thing I like most about the Caribbean Workout series is that the segments are 20-25 minutes each. I hate to exercise, but I can talk myself into 25 minutes at a time. This DVD contains 3 different workouts that are varied enough to prevent boredom and allow the viewer to choose just one or a combination. If you want to do more than one, you don't have to do two aerobics sessions; you can do a cardio (aerobics/kickboxing) and a muscle conditioning (chi ball) or strength and flexibility (Pilates). If variety isn't enough, the setting is beautiful, so, even if I am stuck in my living room, I can at least see the sandy, sun-drenched beaches of Barbados and take my mind off the yucky exercise.
