Crunch is known for high-powered, innovative workouts with skillful, motivating instructors and usually as much choreography as you can handle. Crunch: Fat Blaster is a sweat-filled, fat-burning workout with a variety of fun moves. This video eases up on the choreography a bit compared to some of the other Crunch workouts. Instructor Jennifer Mills breaks down the moves into simple components and gradually adds on complexity, cueing the changes clearly. She repeats the moves enough that intermediate-level exercisers with a fair amount of coordination can get them without frustration. There are many "traveling" steps, so it's best if you have enough space to travel both front and back as well as side to side on the floor. If you only have a half-hour for your aerobic workout, this is a great way to spend it. --Joan Price

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointment, August 16, 1999

This review is from: Crunch: Fat Blaster [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I bought this tape a while ago and have not used it much since. The workout is compact, but does not have much else going for it. I used to watch Crunch fitness on a regular basis, and loved it. I am very dissapointed with this product. The moves actually start out difficult, resulting in a lot of rewinding to get them right, and get easier as the tape goes on. They also get more ridiculous as the tape progresses. I was looking for a tape that would get my heart pumping but though my heart rate did increase, I did not break a sweat while the instructor did. Her favorite move, "the swim", combined with her hooting and hollering did nothing for me. I would recommend other Crunch fitness products to people but not this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly produced exercise video, February 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Crunch: Fat Blaster [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I've seen much better exercise videos--they didn't put much thought into this one. I'm experienced with aerobics classes and have never had such difficulty following the moves. She's difficult to follow partly because the moves change quickly, and she doesn't give cues that adequately identify the moves. Also, the videographer didn't give much tought to the task: just at the point where you need to follow the instructor's legs and feet to be sure you're with her, the camera moves so that you're seeing the participants or instructor from the waist up. Too bad--it looks like it would be a pretty good workout if one could just follow it.

4.0 out of 5 stars LIKE IT ALOT, April 15, 2000

This review is from: Crunch: Fat Blaster [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am an advanced excerciser with lots and lots of tapes. When I do floor aerobics and need a fast not to hard work out I find myself reaching for this tape. I think it is alot of fun not to complex in choreography, like other Crunch Aerobics " Tracey York".However, It is noisy like all Crunch's stuff which I usually do not prefer.
