DVD Description
Star of Strictly Come Dancing, Lilia Kopylova introduces the brand new follow up to last year’s hit workout, Latinatone. Lilia, winner of the 2005 show with Darren Gough and the spectacular Christmas special this year.

LATINATONE also includes a ‘Create Your Own Workout Feature’ plus an extra special Lifestyle section for the true ‘Strictly’ fan where Lilia shares her dressing room secrets and shares make up tips and details of her costumes, and wardrobe – Lilia is not only a talented dancer – she designs all her own costumes too!

In LATINATONE, Lilia introduces a whole new selection of ‘latin’ based workouts that will ‘tone that torso’. With its original music score and fantastic dance moves, LATINATONE is set to mirror the enormous success of its predecessor Latinasize and establish Lilia Kopylova as a major force in the fitness arena.

LATINATONE sees Lilia introduce six original new dance routines – each choreographed to give each part of your body a sexy tone-up and a great aerobic workout at the same time. Lilia’s Hot n Ready warm-up will make sure you are ready to Move it with Merengue, learn a Sizzling Salsa, try a little Mambo Mania, master a Tango Tone and loosen up with an African Groove. And just when you think you can’t take anymore, Lilia will relax you with her unique Cool ‘n’ Stretch cool down. LATINATONE also features a very special dance performed by Lilia with her husband and fellow Strictly Come Dancing professional, Darren Bennett.

Synopsis
Lilia Kopylova--of STRICTLY COME DANCING fame--presents a fitness title aimed at toning one's body.

Customer Reviews

Good fun - and isn't that what exercise is about?
I've tried this DVD three times and I'm finding it incredibly good fun. The first time I played it all the way through and took my time to watch all the information. I found Lilia encouraging at the beginning, telling you to take your time and do what you feel comfortable with etc. The first time, if you watch it all the way through, she shows you in a slower mode how to do all the basic steps before each routine. I didn't join in every routine (I was tired!) but I watched it all. The warm up is excellent but the cool down a little tricky - that will take me some time. To run through it from beginning to end is about 90 minutes I think but you won't ever have to do that again.

The next time I used it I chose my own routine. This is a great idea and should alleviate any boredom I might experience. Doing it this way means you can choose a workout to match your mood. It automatically adds in the warm up and cool down and then doesn't include the instruction - so you are straight into the routines. It's great! A cool feature I haven't tried yet, but will have to as I'm not very good with a couple of the routines, is watching them from reverse angles - so you actually follow Lilia, rather than seeing her on the screen. The last time I tried it - this morning - I was able to manage 3 routines and feel really good about myself.

The other people doing the workout with her could do with a shake-up though, they don't look happy at all! If you can forget about them, this is a great DVD and one I'm really pleased I bought. I haven't watched the extras yet - Lilia dancing with Darren Bennett, some costume and make-up tips. I bought it for the exercise and this doesn't interest me. I'm certianly not very well co-ordinated and this showed on one or two of the routines but overall it's a great workout and one I'll continue to use. The best bit - choosing your own routine out of five options. The worst bit - getting the hang of the cool down.

Excellent Fun
This DVD is great fun to do and easy to follow. It definitely leaves you feeling worked out but left in a positive and up lifting frame of mind. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy themselves whilst in the process of getting trim.

Disappointed
I really didn't enjoy this. I found it very boring and repetitious. I was really look forward to it because I really enjoyed the 'Strictly Come Dancersize' and thought it would be of the same calibre. Unfortunately it wasn't - very below par. I didn't like the cheesy music either, it was quite off putting and I thought Lilia as an instructor was quite bland and I felt that she didn't really put a lot of thought into the routines. I'm actually sending it back to Amazon because I think it's a complete waste of money. 'Strictly Come Dancersize' is 100% better. The dances are fun and the music is great. You can definitely tell that Erin and Karen put a lot of thought into it. Although some complain it's quite hard, once you do it once or twice the step's are relatively easy to pick up. So I recommend that instead!
