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.

Although I pick up steps easily, even I got frustrated with Latinasize in some parts, as there were a lot of steps to learn.
This has more repetition of very simple steps, so you're not concentrating so much on the moves that you don't move as much, as was sometimes the case in Latinasize.
The warm-up is much more active than in Latinasize, so you really feel like you're doing another mini-work out.
This is folowed by five routines. The meringue, which is very easy to learn, but is really difficult when you start doing the legs - ouch!
The Salsa - I prefer the old one in this case as in this my waist didn't get as well worked out. Saying that, It did get my heart pumpiung.
The mambo is my favorite. This really works the waist, your legs get a workout to with lots of kicking, and your arms get worked out to! This is the best one if you're in a hurry and just want an all over workout.
The Tango is fine in the first part, your legs and arms feel really toned. Then along comes the floorwork. OUCH! If you can't straighten your legs straight up (most people then) it can be frustrating, and there's no one to show any easier version of it.
The African Samba - I like this but i don't feel as worked out as with the other ones. But it really does get rid of tension.
The cool down doesn't feel as nice as it did in Latinasize. Some of the stretches are difficult to get right. If you don't think you can get it right don't do them, figure out an easier version. The stretches, if done wrong, can do more harm than good. Seriously!
Overall, a good workout, I would imagine it is better for beginners than Latinasize was and I came away feeling quite exhausted (I did the whole thing - I know i'm not supposed to but I was having a fat day)and toned.

This is the second of Lilia's fitness DVDs and has benefitted from some great new additions including the reverse angle footage and the Latin demo with her husband and dance partner, Darren Bennett.
The routines in this Latinatone have a little more repetition then the ones on Latinasize and with the addition of the optional rear view this makes the routines easier to pick up though still challenging, varied, exciting and effective.
The Make-up and Costume Tips are a nice intersting addition to this fun DVD.

I just completed this workout for the first time and I loved it. I thought it was really fun, especially the African Groove. I loved the Salsa section, and the others are great too, although I found the moves in the Merengue section quite repetitive.
Altogether I found the steps quite easy to master, especially if you watch the lesson for each section before you start that routine. My waist felt as though it had had a good work out and I definitely worked up a sweat!
I also love the fact that you can devise your own routine before you start - you can choose which dances you want to do and in which order, which should be good for beating boredom once you've done the DVD a few times.
I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who loves dancing and wants a workout that's different to all the traditional (and often boring) aerobics DVDs.

Not quite as interesting routines as Latinasize - but still great!
I bought this as I have Lillia's Latinasize DVD and wanted to expand my repertoire of Latin dance-based workouts as I get bored quite easily! Read more

Quite repetitive!
This DVD is OK - it's pretty average. I found the routines very repetitive and not at all inspiring. Read more

Boring, flat, lacks energy & authenticity
This is really boring, Lilia does not have the positive warm energy so necessary for latina dance. It has been filmed in what looks like an empty blue peter studio, lacks fun,... Read more

Latina tone
It's a very good dvd but you still need some coordination to be able to move the arms around as well as the hips. Read more

A BRILLIANT GREAT FUN WORKOUT THAT WORKS
I found Lilia's `Latina Tone' DVD extremely good and most beneficial for weight loss and toning and without doubt much more pleasurable than going to the gym! Read more

I love it!
I like this DVD. Warm up and cool down are exellent. I don't do merengue and African groove because they are simple and repetetive and I don't want to waste my time. Read more

Fun but not strenuous enough.
I have mixed feelings about this workout. On the plus side, the different sections are quite good fun. Doing a bit of dancing makes a change from bog-standard aerobics DVDs. Read more

amazing, the best of all the 'strictly' exercise dvd's.
This was the first dance based fitness dvd that I bought and for me its still the best. All exercises/steps are fully explained and the music is fantastic. Read more
