Tracy Shaw's Salsacise For Hips And Thighs DVD

Looking more like a trendy belly dancer in sequinned bra, shorts, and red trainers, ex-Coronation Street star Tracy Shaw is back with another dose of Salsacise. With choreographer and salsa maestro Michael Betts devising the session, this time the duo focus on hips and thighs. That’s not to say there are no Latin moves to take away: both the warm up and salsa split session are great fun. Note these aren’t real salsa moves, and you’d look pretty odd doing them in a salsa club, but anywhere else the steps would wow. As the session goes into a hip and thigh-stretching... Latin lunge, the dance moves give way to more conventional exercise, with the booty burner (for bums), side slimmer (for waist) and tum tightener (for abs) all being floor-based. The effects are certainly felt on the targeted bits, but avoid any of the floor routines in isolation as without adequately preparing the body, back problems are a risk. With each five to seven-minute routine clearly delineated, by far the biggest temptation is to skip the floor work entirely and stick to the fun bits. Whether this ends up shifting the fat off those hips and thighs is really irrelevant: they’ll be moving in a sexy way. As a bonus there’s a behind the scenes feature revealing Shaw eating a banana and having her bum powdered. --Lorna V [show more]
