3.0 out of 5 stars
Get ready to work, June 2, 2000

Perhaps I shouldn't review this video yet after only two workouts with it, but here goes. The first couple of aerobic segments are fairly easy to follow yet get your heart rate elevated. The last segment is also not too complicated. But the segments in the middle are very difficult to follow. Your heart rate will go up while you are learning them, but not as much as they would if you could follow perfectly. I've been doing various aerobic videos (Kathy Smith, Crunch Fat Blaster Plus) regularly for over a year, but I can see I'm going to have to do this tape many times to learn some of these complicated steps! There are a couple I may always have to improvise on. I like it, and the instructor is good, but be ready to be somewhat frustrated, too.

Master Class Me Dizzy, August 7, 2000
This review is from: Crunch: Master Class Aerobics [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Okay, I've honestly only done this video once, but I'm not really looking forward to doing it again. I read other reviews and the consensus was that this was a little silly and that it was at times a little "too dancy" to be an aerobics video. But my ego said "Hey, you've danced for years, and it's just about getting up and moving, right?" Wrong. First off, the instructor's hair annoys me. And the little headband he wears to "try" and keep it out of his face doesn't work. I agree with the other reviewer that the first part of the video was relatively easy. It was and I found myself thinking that this wasn't hard at all. And then he got a little fancy. This isn't for a beginner at all and I don't recommend wearing shoes with this video if you have carpet. He (I don't remember his name) likes to display his dancing prowness. He throws in little kick ball changes and three step turns. Okay, running into my living room furniture with a dizzied twirl is NOT my idea of a workout. Yes, the exercises will raise your pulse. But it would have been better if the little dance moves and turns had been left on the cutting room floor.

A great motivator, August 25, 2002
This review is from: Crunch: Master Class Aerobics [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Of all the exercise videos I have, this is one of my favorites. Yes, it is a long video of high impact aerobics but the instructor kept me motivated and made me want to do this video more than once. It is difficult at first, but its high impact, what do you expect? Once you do it a few more times, the moves get easier while still giving you a killer workout. People who are serious about their workouts, ignore the look of the instructor and pay attention to what they get out of the workout. He also gives you the option to work out at high impact or to follow one of the girls for a lower impact workout. Personally, he made me want to stay at the higher impact and do his workout over and over again. I have been working out for a while now and he still manages to work every muscle. I still wake up a little sore. This is a great video.
