Is Most of Reformed Deformed?
TGC Blog | June 26, 2012
I wonder, though, if these recent attacks reflect an underlying insecurity about our standing as Christians in the world, especially in America. By nearly every numeric metric you care to cite, the church is treading water or even falling behind. For a long time we Americans looked at Europe and thanked God for our relative position of strength and influence. For a long time we evangelicals looked at the Roman Catholic Church and Protestant mainline and thanked God for our relative vibrancy, largely gained by poaching their ranks. But we're under no such illusions today. Much of the recent criticism of Calvinism comes from within the Southern Baptist Convention, America's largest Protestant denomination and a rare 20th-century success story for reversing the devastating effects of theological liberalism. Problem is, according to Lifeway Research president Ed Stetzer, "membership in the SBC is now on a multi-year decline. Our 'growth' trend is now negative and our membership is decreasing." Baptisms have decreased 20 percent since 1999. More than a decade of passionate calls to reverse this worrisome trend with a renewed commitment to evangelism has not been able to stop the slump.
When things go bad, we look for someone to blame. The rise of Calvinism among evangelicals happens to correspond to this decade-plus of decline. Might correlation actually be causation? Would the church be in better shape if everyone agreed that God "endows each person with actual free will (the ability to choose between two options), which must be exercised in accepting or rejecting God's gracious call to salvation by the Holy Spirit through the gospel"? As a Calvinist, I say no, but then I disagree that you must affirm this statement in order to find motivation to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and see more than a handful of hell-bound sinners transformed by grace.
So how does a Calvinist diagnose our problem? Why are so many of our churches small and dying? Why do we baptize so few new believers? Why don't we have more large churches welcoming thousands of new members? Why does so much of our supposed growth come from church transfers? More importantly, what's our solution?
Critique Movement
The much-discussed and derided "new Calvinism" arose in the last several decades as a critique movement. As a result, we're not particularly popular with some established church leaders. But contrary to popular belief, the new Calvinism does not see the church's problem as insufficient loyalty to a Calvinistic system. Rather, through the ministry of popular writers and little-known preachers alike, many younger Christians learned Calvinist soteriology from Scripture and glimpsed an expansive new vision of God. They gave thanks that "we have redemption through [Jesus'] blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us" (Eph. 1:7-8). They rejoiced to "know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose" (Rom. 8:28). And they have sought to share this contagious new joy with others, Christians and non-Christians alike.
Calvinism helped them to embrace grace as a free gift from God we can offer to others, "not a result of works, so that no one may boast" (Eph. 2:9). Longing for a sense of transcendence, desiring personal transformation, and seeking a connection with tradition, many young evangelicals have found God-saturated, gospel-centered resources in Calvinism. So why didn't they find this transcendence, transformation, and tradition in their churches? Because our churches aren't really dying for want of Calvinism, nor as a result of Calvinism. Churches die when they no longer help you see God high and lifted up. When they forsake the costly path of discipleship. When they cast aside the Christian past as a hindrance to growth goals.
Calvinism has thrived, then, as a fire engine sounding the alarm and bearing water to put out the flames consuming American evangelicalism. We're not surprised by the bad numbers. In fact, even inside some of the biggest churches in America, we've seen the limits of any strategy that fails to account for our God-given need for transcendence, transformation, and tradition. Numbers are a lagging indicator of unhealth. Even during the megachurch boom of the 1980s and 1990s, all was not well with the evangelical soul.
Everyone Dysfunctional
I've seen the best and worst of non-Calvinist churches. The pastor of my youth in a United Methodist church advised me against prayer, opposed my efforts to raise money for a mission trip where we preached the gospel, and told me "God helps those who help themselves." In the same town, a young Wesleyan pastor braved community opposition to start a church, where he preached the gospel to my middle-aged parents. They were saved less than a decade ago while I set out to document the rise of the new Calvinism. My bad experience with Arminianism (really, in this case, Pelagianism) doesn't invalide the system any more than the good experience proves it. Sinners can distort any biblical truth, and God can work even through flawed churches. Good thing, because every church is at least a little dysfunctional in its own way.
I rejoice in any movement that delights in and freely shares the one true gospel of Jesus Christ. As our friends in the Southern Baptist Convention recently modeled in their annual meeting, a large and largely lost world needs all men and women of genuine faith to shoulder this burden and embrace this privilege to make disciples of all the nations. In no way does our shared calling invalidate the significance of our disagreement. But this urgent calling offers perspective on our foolish and inexcusable tendency to mistreat fellow blood-bought believers in Christ.

I've been a member & teacher in an SBC church for over a decade. I find the winds of Reformed thinking blowing across the Evangelical landscape quite refreshing. To read the critics, especially in the SBC, makes me wonder where they're getting their info? They don't seem to be reading or interacting with any contemporary Reformed writers/bloggers. Re: decline in SBC baptisms/members. From my little corner I'd say a christan ed system in dire need of renewal/revival. An inability to think outside the box of Sunday School as the all-encompassing means of education/evangelism. Also, altar calls with almost no theological substance behind them make me cringe. The people are some of the finest Christians I've ever met. I wonder for how many of them the SBC system has been an endurance contest?

Thanks for the post, Collin. I just finished listening to Ed Young's sermon and it's heartbreaking to me that he would attack fellow believers in Christ in such a way. I am not against sound criticism done out of love and concern--indeed I think that can be healthy. Instead, Ed engaged in putting forth straw-man after straw-man; after generalization after generalization. This type of attack marginalizes and stifles people's ability to lock arms and contend for the Gospel as the unified body of Christ.
June 27, 2012 at 10:48 AM
isn't it also too that there is simply no "perfect" theology? Calvinism (which i am reformed I'll admit...at a Reformed church no less) has it's flaws and holes...just as any man-made theology, no matter how much scripture we use to prop it up. Isn't it humility that's most needed? Humility that leads us to say that in some areas we might actually be off or wrong...enough to listen to others, rather than make them adhere to the exact 100 tenets of our theology before we can have any fellowship with them?
June 27, 2012 at 09:59 AM
A great article, thanks very much.
I'm a Christian in the UK, and there's a lot of unity developing within the city amongst Christians. My city's a place with a large number of evangelical-led Churches (partly due to people like Charles Simeon positively exploiting of patronage, which - to me - seems like an appalling system! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Simeon), many with a charismatic-tilt (many part of the 'New Wine' network). There has been a lot of relationship-building over recent years, meaning that more traditional Churches on the one hand (where members might be just there for the Sunday stuff and not to up on theology and evangelism, etc., whether Baptist, Methodist or Anglican or whatever), and Hillsong-types and Toronto-types have also been able to engage. The only ones that haven't really engaged (although the Hillsong-types have struggled a bit), from what I can see are the few Liberal congregations and the strongly conservative ones (although even the Liberal ones get involved with events, despite them probably not agreeing with the way Jesus is portrayed).
It bugs me a lot that the more conservative Churches don't engage at all, particularly as they can sometimes be quite 'top down' congregations, meaning all their members don't engage with other Christians as much also. I think that, someone bizarrely from today's perspective, the leaders of the most conservative congregation used to meet up with one of the most charismatic leaders and they even preached at each others' congregations, however when Toronto happened it was too much for the conservative congregation, which I suppose is fair enough. However it seems as though all contact was cut and a great deal of fear is there, as a result, about what happens when you engage, and so they just shut off to engagement with other congregations and leaders.
I think the difficulty is that we live in a very cerebral society, and particularly in the Church, where it's is all about WHAT you believe (which puts the emphasis on man) rather than WHO you believe IN (which puts the emphasis on God). I think if we can rediscover that it is Jesus and Him dying and being resurrected for our free salvation if we trust in Him that is the most important thing, then unity starts to develop. As a result of this, as Christians develop trust of one another, then where they disagree of theology, they will discuss it with one another, looking to scripture and God's nature and character so that, rather than just accepting the other's view point and ignoring them, both people are brought closer to a truer picture of who God is.
I actually think that to ignore Christians we disagree with is a violation of the second greatest commandment, given by Jesus, and if the reason we ignore them is because we fear judgement from God for associating with them then we really haven't understood the gospel of grace. I mean Jesus hung around with the worst of people so why can't we hang around with those we disagree with? Now obviously, if they continue to deny Christ and reject God in aspects of the gospel then we need to make clear that we disagree and might perhaps even, at that point, disassociate (but leave the door open to later dialogue). However, Church congregations and leaders often reach that point too quickly and the door is slammed shut, meaning we bury away into our own little world. I really do think fear is the main driver in this, but we must remember that perfect love (which God gives) casts out all fear. :)
Thanks again (and sorry for the essay!)

One of the most evangelistic pastors of the last 50 years - the founder of Evangelism Explosion - was a 5-point Calvinist, D. James Kennedy. The practice of Reformed theology fueled & grounded his zeal.
Overseas evangelism is growing by leaps in bounds; in the U-S, church growth is stagnant.
Could it be that our problem as the U-S church is not theological but practical? That we simply are not doing the simple basics of what we have been called to do (Matthew 28:18-20)?
June 27, 2012 at 09:13 AM
Thanks, Collin!!
June 27, 2012 at 08:40 AM
Thanks for your thoughts on this issue.
I am Reformed in my theology and I am a Southern Baptist Pastor. This is an issue that has been and will be discussed within our denomination for years to come.
The timing of the "traditional statement" would indicate that the writers wanted this to be an issue of discussion at this years Convention. I was there, and it was referenced, but not at a level of any great significance.
At last count, I believe about 800 people had signed the "traditional statement". As a denomination of 16 million, that is a very small percentage.
Prayerfully, those 800 can continue to lock arms with the rest of us and focus our efforts on reaching billions with the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

The part of Young's sermon that was the most disturbing to me had little to do with Calvinism. He openly mocked an unnamed church for 'only' baptizing 26 people the previous year. (He then boasted about his church baptizing over 2600, but that's not really the point.)
How many of our smaller churches, faithful to Christ's call and to the gospel, struggle to baptize even a few? And what kind of arrogance does it take to poke fun at those pastors/churches for these reached with and responding to the gospel? Young belittled 26 miracles wrought by the Holy Spirit in order to build himself up. (I don't say that lightly...after he cites the numbers, he talks about how he couldn't sleep at night if his church only baptized 26 new believers...implicitly saying it is his programs, his strategy, etc., and not the HS that is responsible for the number of baptisms.)
I hope we see a public repentance for this behavior, but I won't hold my breath.
Who says it is the Calvinists who are always angry?
June 27, 2012 at 02:09 PM
Calvinism has nothing to do with the issue if you are speaking of the extended theology regarding covenant theology and/or church order or baptismal issues. But, having said that, if the Reformed doctrines in that framework "add" to the Gospel and pollute the same it does kill. And a lack of the Reformed Gospel Doctrines of Grace understanding certainly does kill the Church's message for it presents a false Gospel due to "adding elements" to the Gospel such as "raise your hand and you are saved, sign on this card your name and pray a pray after me and you are saved, or walk down this aisle taking the first step and God will meet you when you move forward, or any other rule or law given to a person besides the pure Doctrines of Grace." Charles Spurgeon once said the Doctrines commonly called TULIP is the Gospel. He rightly understood what those terms meant totally without any fluff added or taken away from the Gospel message. The message is more than just stating the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Christ, but rather, a understanding or teaching or explanation of what those terms mean. Why did Jesus die, Why was He buried and raised again and ascended back to heaven to be seated at the Right hand of the Father. What was that all about? Emotional appeals and other activities can make people do a lot of religious things but only the pure Gospel preached can produce true redemption and salvation. This is not to say a person lost needs to understand the theological or finer points of all of the Gospel message but certain elements certainly have to be preached and taught to have a pure Gospel presented to man. Galatians keeps us on track concerning this along with the entire book of Romans. This easy believism which is based on religious dogma or works mentality stuff creates a false concept in the hearts and minds of people. Many go down the road to destruction but few find the narrow road which leads to Life and those few are called and chosen by Christ who stated, "no man comes to the Father except through and by Him"!

Lindsay Lohan Is Now A Grandmother
It seems like only yesterday that Lindsay Lohan was that fresh faced little kid on Freaky Friday and now she is a grandmother. Wait. She is only 25. How can she be a grandmother? I guess I should clarify. Lindsay looks like a grandmother. Actually I have to say that when my grandmother passed she looked way way younger than Lindsay did last night. You know, when she is not being airbrushed, photoshopped, and photographed at night, Lindsay looks old. She has packed a lot of drugs, booze, smoking, late nights, men, women, drugs, booze, smoking, parties, stealing, drugs, booze, smoking, rehab stays, prison stays, drugs, booze, smoking, arrests, fights, parent drama, movies, drugs, booze, smoking, television shows, fashion work, drugs, booze, smoking, lawsuits, depositions, drugs, booze, smoking, flashing, Playboy shoots, drugs, booze, smoking, and some more drugs into her 25 years. One thing she has learned, but somehow forgot last night is don't wear white and stay out of the lights. Take a look at the photo and if you did not know how old she is, I know you would not guess 25. You would say she looks really good for 40.

Luke 3:7-18 (New International Version)
Luke 3:7-18
New International Version (NIV)
7 John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 9 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire."
10 "What should we do then?" the crowd asked.
11 John answered, "Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same."
12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized. "Teacher," they asked, "what should we do?"
13 "Don't collect any more than you are required to," he told them.
14 Then some soldiers asked him, "And what should we do?"
He replied, "Don't extort money and don't accuse people falsely—be content with your pay."
15 The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John might possibly be the Messiah. 16 John answered them all, "I baptize you with[a] water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with[b] the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing fork is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." 18 And with many other words John exhorted the people and proclaimed the good news to them.

Williamson Lures® Benthos Speed Jig
Glows in the dark!
Its diamond shape means that this jig drops vertically at high speed, allowing you to get down to the fish you're looking for -- even in a heavy drift! Detailed painted fish attracts attention and triggers a quick strike; pre-rigged with single-assist hook.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 10
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tatisquieto Super effective jig
This speed jig is a must on my lure box, I have hooked many yt at Sea of Cortez using color purple-blue, paint color resist lots of hook sets, hook is fine, up I always like to replace it for a bigger assistant hook.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Humusbcool Great lure at a great price
I've used this lure on a number of tuna trips in the Gulf of Mexico and it works great. It has a very durablefinish and it is my first choice when I start fishing. As this lure has only one assist hook I add a second. The single hook is the only fault I can find.

Ask your questions. Share your answers.
being that the hook is at the top do you use any type of leader and does that impede the performance of the jig? It seems that any toothy creature would cut i right off?Answers
I fish for tuna in the gulf so I use 40# florocarbon leader on a 5 oz jig. Based on the number of fish I've caught The leader isn't a problem. I haven't tried wire or cable type leaders which would be more appropriate for the more toothy species.A:
I use them for tuna and even at night tuna are are sensitive to braid. I tie mono leaders to my jigs and lose more than a few leaders and tuna to the occasional barracuda... I have tied wire to leaders when fishing for other types of fish, so if they are not leader shy, you should be fine with leaders.Details:
I am wondering why the hooks are by the eyes. I can see why they would be there for the drop, but not for trolling or jigging. Can someone shed some light on the hook position?Answers
When fishing for yellowtail they go for the head (red eyes) but for the most part yellowtail take the hole jig (20 to 30) pound fish. I change out the ring that is attach to the jig, I put a larger ring on them and then put a hook on each side,of your leeder or line. one long 2" and one 1" long. this gives you a better chance. when jiging these lures they dance all around. They do hook fishA:
Can't tell you how they work, only that they work really well. I've seen several people add a treble hook to the bottom of the jig as there is a loop there. I've fished side-by-side with people using this "stinger" set up and did not see any particular advantage to the number of hook ups or fish caught. The jig only comes with a single assist hook and I do add a second. I feel that the second assist hook helps but couldn't tell you how much.A:
most of the strikes will happen as the jig falls. as it falls it turns and the hooks lay against the side of the jig, most fish strike at the head of their prey so the hooks are positioned where the fish is most likely to grab the jig. these jigs are great for jigging which they were designed for but for trolling, there are better trolling spoons/jigs out thereA:
I have tried tying the line on both ends. What works best is tying on the top and adding a hook on the bottom1 of 1

Make a Powerbook in to a Wi-Fi access point!
by Phillip Torrone
November 21, 2005
Editor's note: This How-to was originally posted in the MAKE blog.
In Make volume 03 we showed you how to make a "StompBox" - a device that uses a high speed EVDO wireless access card and Wi-Fi to create a mobile wireless access point. The StompBox centered around a 12VDC-powered embedded computer, but if you have a Mac Powerbook with PC card slot and a EVDO card, you can make the same kind of thing, broadcasting free Wi-Fi for anyone around! Here's how...
What is EVDO?
EVDO is a wireless broadband service, broadband internet access through the newest-generation (3G) cellular network. It aims to provide Wi-Fi-like speeds over cellphone-like geographic coverage. I've been traveling a lot lately, so I recently started subscribing to Verizon's EVDO network, NationalAccess, and picked up their high-speed EVDO access card. Just pop it in a Mac or the card slot of a PC, and you're off. This card lets me access the web without needing a Wi-Fi hot spot, usually at speed of around 400-700kbps.
From EVDOinfo.com- EVDO or Evolution Data Only, Evolution Data Optimized, often abbreviated as EVDO, EV-DO, EvDO, 1xEV-DO or 1xEvDO, is a fast wireless broadband access (3G) without needing a WiFi hotspot (a common misspelling is EDVO). You are the hotspot. You can have fast internet access, anywhere. No need to find a hotspot. For example, get high speed internet access in a car, train, clients, anywhere you can open your laptop.
Also, 1xEVDO is based on the 1xRTT standard. 1xRTT is basically available wherever cell phone coverage is and can give you 2-3 times dialup speed (both Verizon and Sprint offer this). Typical speed is 60 - 100K upload and download speeds. So, even if you are NOT in an EvDO area, you can still access the internet (learn more about 1xRTT vs. EVDO).
Here are the specs on my Verizon/Kyocera card, shown above. (I wish it didn't have a picture of some corpo ENRON looking fellow on it, but anyway...):
Kyocera KPC 650 Passport 1xEVDO PC Card (KPC650)
- KPC650 is a next-generation 1xEVDO PC card
- High-speed wireless data access of up to 2.4 Mbps
- Dual-band receive diversity and high-performance antenna design allows for higher data rates and improved coverage
You see, I was getting really tired of paying for four different Wi-Fi accounts, and airports/other places always having ones not on my "partner list," and therefore still having to drop $4 to $5 for a quick dose of access. The service for the EVDO card ranges from $50 to $80 month. Corporations often have employee deals, so if you can get it through where you work, you might hit the $50/month range. You can buy the card itself for as low as $20 from the EVDOinfo.com folks-- I haven't used them, but this is what it says on their site:
$19.99 (after $100 rebate) for PC Card, and Activation Fee: $20 for 2 year or $35 for 1 year contract. Monthly Fee: $79.99.
As for the coverage, so far it has been great too-- but I also mostly travel to the major cities, where EVDO coverage is better. In areas where you don't get full-speed NationalAccess EVDO, the service uses the slower Quick2Net, which provides 14.4kbps connectivity-- good for email and some browsing. Here's a NationalAccess EVDO coverage map (and more info):
So far, it's been amazing. I now bring my laptop everywhere, and I'm even getting a lot done in the car! The time before a flight, taxi and bus rides from the airport-- I'm really getting a lot done.
iChatting and Skyping, while stuck in traffic.
Testing the EVDO card on a tiny Sony Vaio.
In MAKE volume 03, we showed you how to urn your car into a Wi-Fi hotspot, then use GPS and webcam input to map your current location online and auto-generate a photo travelog. It's a fun project, so if you like this how-to, you might want to check the StompBox article out as well.
If you subscribe to MAKE you can view this right now for free in our digital edition here.
Another way to parlay your EVDO service into your own mobile Wi-Fi, Ethernet or other LAN is through this cool box, from Junxion.
But now, if you have a Powerbook with a PC card slot, you can do the same thing. Just get the EVDO card, load the software and share the connection with the people around you.
Why share?
Sharing your connection is not only a lot of fun, but extremely useful. I was traveling with my wife last week, and she was able to play Second Life, check email, and use my connection from her Windows machine, just like any other Wi-Fi hot spot. We're both paying for my EVDO service, so why should she have to buy another Wi-Fi account just to log on?
It's also really useful for public transportation. If you have a long daily commute on a train or bus, you can get everyone you're traveling with onto the internet. There have even been a few newspaper stories on people sharing their connections on trains. Be the hero!
Originally, this was going to be a slightly complex HOW TO, but just as I was writing the original version of this article (August 2005), Verizon released EVDO network drivers for Mac OS X. As a result, the process of turning your Mac into a Wi-Fi access point is now quite simple. In fact, for old Mac pros, the procedure is just standard internet connection sharing-- in other words, super easy.
Previously, you needed to "hack" the drivers to swap out vendor IDs and rebuild the kernel extension cache to get this card to work on a Powerbook. If you're interested, the HOW TO for that is here.
There's no reason to use this method now, since Verizon has Mac-specific drivers, but it's still good info. Also, you don't need to use the specific EVDO card I use, the Kyocera KPC 650 Passport. But all my EVDO geek friends said it was the best.
The old way... no longer needed.
[Note] Windows also internet connection sharing, but I haven't had much luck getting to work. So for now, this Mac-based HOW TO is what I could write up. If anyone can confirm that you can also do this on with a Windows laptop, let me know.
The only bad news is that the Mac version of VZAccess Manager doesn't have the built-in text messaging like its Windows counterpart. But I have yet to really need that.
Ingredients for this HOW TO
- Apple Powerbook 15" or 17" (with PC Card slot)
- Verizon EVDO card (I use the Kyocera KPC 650 Passport 1xEVDO PC Card)
1. Install and launch VZAccess Manager software (EVDO drivers for Mac OS X)
Assuming you already have the card and service, download the Mac OS X drivers from Verizon from here. You'll need your assigned phone number.
Install the software. Here are some of the screens you can expect to see:
The software can detect and use other wireless devices on your system, such as an Airport for Wi-Fi. I'm not sure if it's required, but I chose the last option (detect both Wi-Fi and EVDO).
Interesting, it detected some driver differences (I had hacked up the old drivers). But I just OK'd and it still worked.
Device detection.
Both networks work. The slower Quick2Net kicks in when there isn't NationalAccess.
Once the card is installed, network build-out updates (from any new towers) will download automatically.
And press connect! We're on!
Here's a what the VZAccess Manager's UI looks like. The Web tab opens Firefox for me, and the E-mail tab opens mail. But the only thing you really need this application window for is signing on and off.
To test my connection speed, I went to Speakeasy's Speed Test site and ran their test. Here are the results:
Not too shabby! This is in Seattle, WA.
2. Share the connection
Now it's time to share this connection!
Open System Preferences and choose Sharing, under Internet & Network.
For some reason, I had to click the "Share your connection from" pull-down menu twice before AirPort appeared, but it did. Check AirPort.
I named my network exactly what it was, "Free Wifi enjoy!"
Under the Firewall and Services tabs, I turned on Personal Web Sharing.
3. Join in!
Now that I'm broadcasting my wireless, I can hop on any other Wi-Fi enabled device, Mac, PC, or Linux.
Hey, look-- free, open Wi-Fi!
This is a smart warning. I could easily be logging packets, and so could others. In fact, a mobile hotspot like this is a good honey pot to set up if you want to steal private information.
And lastly, another test. I get the same speed on this machine that I did from the access point.
Here we are at the airport, sharing my connection. My wife was able to play Second Life perfectly.
EVDOInfo is pretty much one of the best and only places that has all I needed to get going. Post up any others in the comments too.
Verizon support for the Kyocera card.

Perhaps like so many others you're wondering what is a Zumba Latin dance workout?
If you have not seen Beto Perez on the "Good Morning America Show", or on any other national television programs, then you're in for a treat. Oh before I forget, perhaps you have seen their infomercial on late-night TV.
This Latin dancing work out is an exciting blend of salsa, merengue, rumba, flamenco and other Latin style dancing themes. What makes this aerobic work out different than any other cardio workout is that it utilizes interval training as part of its exercise protocol.
