Crunch - Boot Camp Training

Summary: No Denise Austin....Thats a good thing!
Review: This video worked out well for me. It mixed different types of exercises so that I did not really get so bored. The woman who is the trainer on this video is not fake or overly sugary like Denise Austin is. Her comments generaly revolve around the exercises with a few dumb little side comments. I have not however seen such an odd assortment of people working out together in my life. Their background chatter does get a little tiresome but is not overwhelming. I am glad that I bought this video and would say that I am loosing some weight.

Summary: Time Crunch? Try Crunch Boot Camp!
Review: I love, love, love this video! Because it is a multi muscle workout you raise your heart rate while toning! I am a working Mom of 4 and I need for my time investment to pay off! This packs a punch for a 30 minute workout! I'm uncoordinated so I don't like a lot of dance/aerobic tapes. After the second try I had the moves mastered! (no easy feat for a someone with two left feet!) You can raise the intensity by increasing the size of your hand weights! When I complete this boot camp video, I am really sweating and all my muscles feel awakened! This is my new favorite home workout! There is an instructor who demonstrates a low impact version of the workout and she is visible to offer the low impact version of instructor Susan Hintzeman's high impact version!

Summary: Deff. not for Beginners
Review: I thought this video was very challenging and I would say I am in decent shape. Although some of the steps she did quickly with no explanation it is deff. a GREAT workout for 30 mins. It got me sweating, but is more for toning than cardio

Summary: AMAZING
Review: I absolutely love this video. It's only thirty minutes which is good so that you can go on and do other things with your time. But don't think that just because it's short it doesn't work you. This workout is very tough and efficient and fun. When you're finished you feel so accomplished since you've completed such a workout. And you'll love it when you can do more and more pushups from workout to workout!

Summary: so-so
Review: I thought that this video was ok. The title is very misleading, I thought. I was expecting a challenging workout but found that this was too short to effectively do anything. It was fairly entertaining but I didn't feel like I got a good workout. The Method Cardio boot camp manages to give you more workout in each of it's 15 minute segments, so I'm not sure what makes this video feel so rushed. Also, there is little discussion about form. If you are doing the jumping lunges, and you do it incorrectly, you could really hurt your knees and end up not being able to exercise for a long while. I didn't mind it for something new to do, but I needed to do another tape right after to feel anything. I will use The Method Cardio Boot camp when I want this style of exercise-it's much more effective and you have the choice to do any of the 3 15 minute workouts or two of them or all of them. You get much more out of your money that way. I'd say pass on this one.

Summary: Instructor barks orders at the viewer...not for me!
Review: I bought this video due to the numerous positive reviews I read here on Amazon, and was very disappointed. I know the video is called "boot camp", but much to my chagrin, the video made exercise feel like work to me, and was not fun (just like real boot camp)! I didn't like the instructor's harsh style of barking orders at the viewer, not to mention the fact that there is not much emphasis on form. It may be a good workout, but the style of the video was such a deterrent for me that I will be sticking to my other videos instead.

Summary: Quick complete workout
Review: This video gives a great whole body workout in a short time. The instructor explains sequences so that they can be easily followed even the first time. She does say some annoying things though like 'each time you come back I want you to pick up heavier hand weights' really we're going to have 50 lbs weights soon. The exercises aren't too easy or too difficult, and there are also alternate exercises (some of the time) if you want to take it down a little or are just beginning. I like the whole body aspect of this workout. There are cardio sections, but there are also calisthenics that work most other major muscle groups including arm and leg exercises using hand weights (and many varieties of push-ups), several types of ab exercises, and funky pushups that include back leg lifts to work the glutes. I don't like the active stretching (stretching in which you are always moving and not holding a stretch for any period of time) that is used for the cool down, so I often skip that. I usually like to do more (longer duration of) cardio than this video provides, but if I'm short on time or just too tired to do more, this tape gives a great complete workout in only 30 min.

Summary: GREAT
Review: This is the best video I have ever done. I began using it the day my daughter turned 6 weeks old, with the ok from the Dr. Within two weeks I could make it all the way through and by the time she was 10 weeks old I was skinnier that before I got pregnant. I was a size 7 before pregnancy and now size 5 is baggy on me. It is a tough work out, but worth every minute.

Summary: Great Working Mom Workout!
Review: If you are lacking on time and need a quick workout to get your heart going and leave you feeling energized - then buy this video. It is so short that I can fit it in before or after dinner, but the intensity makes you feel like you've worked out for much longer. The instructor is fun and makes me feel motivated to keep using the video. I've been using it for over a year at least twice a week and it never gets boring and I've lost weight and kept it off. Great buy!
