When model Cindy Crawford wanted to trim down and firm up after the birth of her baby, she chose trainer Kathy Kaehler, who had gotten herself back in shape after gaining 80 pounds with her twins. This program includes two short, easy workouts and one long one. Workout A (12 minutes) is a light-intensity routine, mostly stretching with some strength moves such as lunges and abdominal curls, nothing strenuous, with bland background music.

Workout B (16 minutes) includes cardio moves that are very simple and low-impact, such as knee lifts and marching, no choreography. You can use light hand weights if you want to add intensity, although your shoulders might fatigue before your large muscles. Workout B also includes strength moves such as squats, lunges (while picking up playing cards for a balance challenge), crunches, and pushups. Workout C is a full-body workout consisting mostly of muscle endurance with some segments of cardio. The cardio is more complex and intense than in Workout B, but not dancy--combinations of marches, squats, and kicks, for example, with or without hand weights.

The production is full of visual stimulation: constantly changing views--color or black-and-white, clear or grainy, insets, beach scene or workout room--and changing camera angles. The workout doesn't stand out as exciting, but it is solid, and if you saw Crawford's awful first workout video many years ago, you'll be thankful that she traded in Radu's unsafe, poorly designed routine for Kathy Kaehler's safe and sane one. --Joan Price

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Post-Natal Workout!, April 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cindy Crawford: A New Dimension [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Just what I needed to get me working out again! This tape is geared towards an intermediate exerciser. It's divided into three separate workouts, that can be combined if you want. The first workout (workout A; 10 min.) is designed for getting you started. It contains stretching, kegels, pelvic tilts, light abs, and light toning without weights. Workout B is 15 min., and is the next step. It contains stretching, light cardio, toning with light weights, squats, push-ups, lunges, abs, pelvic tilts, and kegels. Combining workouts A and B makes a great 25 min. workout. Workout C is 40 min., and is a complete full-body workout with cardio and weights. It contains stretching, weights and cardio intervals, squats, lunges, push-ups, leg toning, abs, and kegels. It stands well on it's own as a great workout. You could also combine it with workouts A and B, for an hour of stretching, cardio, and weights. The video is beautifully photographed. The music is excellent, with modern, real music; like they play on the radio. Not that terrible workout elevator music. There's also some footage of Cindy pregnant and with her new baby. I love this tape, and I think you will too!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is great!, May 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cindy Crawford: A New Dimension [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is probably not for experienced exercise freaks but there are plenty of videos out there for them. I'm 38, out-of-shape, the mother of 8 and my body was starting to show it. I bought this tape on a whim and am I glad. I'm not a supermodel fan but Cindy comes across as just an ordinary new mom who wants to get back in shape. I don't know what she looked like before her baby, but she is a beautiful woman with breasts and curves - I'm tired of the stick-look (ala Allie McBeal.)

I've seen a big difference in my fitness level and strength - I alternate Workouts A & B (adding 20 min. exercise bike) with Workout C. I still can't do the push-ups but I'm starting to keep up with the rest of the video. I love the low-key approach, up-to-date outfits & music, and very professional production with interesting multiple camera shots. I also am really enjoying using weights - I worked my way up from one pound to three pound.

Any suggestions from anyone on what would be a good video to buy that has a similiar laid-back, calm, but challenging approach? I'd like to alternate with a more demanding routine as I really start to get in shape. I've given away all the bouncy, 80's, bubble-gum, complicated-dance-step videos that I never really used.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is not JUST for post pregnancy! GREAT for anyone!, March 16, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Cindy Crawford: A New Dimension [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I just got this tape and it is great. I have been working out for a couple of months and am in pretty good shape, and really wanted it for the third workout (the tape consists of 3 workouts A, B and C).
I love Cindy's first tape, and I really liked the fact that it wasn't a lot of aerobics, but mostly toning, the kind that makes you sweat, and it included a warm up and cool down. If you like her first tape you'll like this one; they are very similar in video editing and format, with a few similar moves. I didn't do work out A (10 mins for anytime,anywhere) or B (16 mins), both of which are shorter and easier than C.
C is a 40 minute workout that includes a warm up, then toning arms with weights in bicep curls, arm raises, tricep extensions, and many more to work all of your arm muscles (maybe 10 in all). Then you move on to working the legs by doing some squats, plies, kicks, butt exercises, and some non-impact aerobic moves while you hold your weights. There are many moves, all easy to do, and a good variety to keep you moving. Finally you work the stomach with about 5 different kinds of crunches. The video has mellow music (in the pop/rock genre)- not too fast and not dance music. There are a lot of different angles and shots during the workout (Cindy on the beach, in the studio, etc.) very aesthetically pleasing...
I definitely enjoyed the workout. Good for anyone just getting into a workout routine with the intro workout A, good for post-pregnancy, and good for those who have been working out to all kinds of tapes if you want something new and different.
