1.0 out of 5 stars Not up to Crunch's usual standards, September 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Crunch: Step & Sweat [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I usually really like Crunch videos, but I can't recommend this one. I've been doing step aerobics for 8 or 9 years, but I found the moves in this video to be too complicated to be effective. You spend so much time concentrating on trying to follow them, you end up hardly breaking a sweat. Also, the production quality is not up to the usual Crunch standards, either. If you want a short, fun step workout, skip this one and get Reebok's Dance Step with Petra Kolber -- like this video, it has a quick pace and assumes you are an intermediate-or-better stepper, but it uses basic and moderately complicated moves instead of the unnecessarily complicated ones this video uses.

Just in case you didn't believe the other 8 negative reviews posted here, I thought I'd chime in with one more. THIS ROUTINE IS UNNECESSARILY COMPLICATED. I'm no beginner - I've done tons of step workouts and can pick up all kinds of routines, but this one is ridiculous. One quick move after another - hardly any teaching and you don't build on the moves you've learned. The moves are not very natural or intuitive either. It just doesn't end up being effective. Even after you learn the moves (at least 3 or 4 tries), you still end up taking too many unnecessary steps for the overly complex routine. The extra step time would be better spent on some power moves or squats or something that would give me more bang for my buck, so to speak.

I bought the DVD of this, which was bundled with the Crunch Fat Blaster. It's a good thing the Fat Blaster was also on this DVD or I'd return it. The Fat Blaster is a MUCH better workout.

... I'm not the most advanced stepper, but certainly an intermediate one. Not only is the routine complex - which would be okay in itself - but it goes against the way our bodies naturally move! So the whole time I felt like I was on the verge of tripping over my own feet! Understand, I gave this the good ol' college try - and stuck to it through the end on 3 occasions. But even after learning the moves, it still just felt wrong... I gave it two stars for the cute lady on the left which I think now stars in V.I.P.
