I am so glad no one can see me trying this. I am positive I looked like a middle aged, beer bellied, construction worker dude who hasn't even heard music trying to dance this. It was fun though. Cheers

Believe me girl, I wasn't even thinking of trying that-

We are all coming out of this quarantine looking fitter than ever 🕺🏼

[Yasemintekinx]

This helped me a lot to lose weight past month but it helped me mentally too. When i am sad, i get excited to be happy with Nicole and the girls. I am all alone at home during quarantine and it helped me a lot ❤️

anyone else here during self quarantine? also this is so fun I love this

[mariaemedina]

as a latina myself, this is the happiest i’ve ever been doing a workout...THANK YOU!🙏🏼

[juliepeters]

Kill it? I bloody murdered it. It was like that episode of Friends when Monica joined a dance class and couldn't follow any of the moves.

I am over 60 and was completely out of shape. The first time I tried this video I had to modify the modified version and step in place when it was too much for me. One month in I can complete the entire workout. I still have to modify portions due to age related issues but I can do it! I've lost almost 15 pounds now and feel so much better. Bless you for this. I can continue this and get back to where I need to be.

So glad you guys are liking my Cardio Latin Dance workout! The ladies and I had a sweaty good time filming this. I hope you all continue to work hard, shake it, and just have fun❤️

[KassParish]

I'm certain I didn't do any of this right but I'm sweating and I had fun so, mission accomplished! :D

[kiersten]

I can't overstate how impressed I am that Nicole can calmly speak while doing this! This video is so fun, I find it so much more rewarding when exercise is entertaining 👍

[DanielleBitton]

I haven't worked out in a year as I was battling breast cancer and had a double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery. this was my first cardio workout since and I can't tell you how much I loved it and how much joy you brought to me! Thank you for your DIVINE ENERGY NICOLE, I look forward to more workouts with you. ps. I am sweating good and FUN!

5:38 "I hope you're killing it at home, I know you are"

me on my bed: 👌

[zinthin]

Best work outs ever! And I am having so much fun doing it. I have been trying to do more exercise to cure my depression. Everyday I am so excited to get up and dance along with you. Thank you so much for all the fun, positivity and excitement you bring along with your exercises. It's really helping me cope

Day 1 of Covid-19 quarantine... this is keeping me healthy and happy!

[antoniasinfield]

So pleased I found this. I've stopped doing HIIT, endless burpees and mountain climbers after too many aches and pains and it's dull as hell. This is much more fun and I am *drenched* in sweat 😅 Thanks a lot ❤

[asmrlacedwithpearls]

Me before the video: No worries my Latin roots got this 🏅💃🏽

Me after: uhhh well it was a VERY humbling experience 😳

[fatimasegura]

literally did not feel the 30 min like that was so fun

[carmencaro]

Ok, as a Latin woman I have to say, Nicole really knows the moves, you got that merengue as if you were born with it, please make more of these videos, with Samba and Calypso,
