Certified instructor description: Easy-to-follow aero/tone intervals shown at four progressively more challenging variations. You’ll reshape your body with a varied medley of straight-to-the-point, athletic-style exercises (no fancy dance steps, no tricky body-sculpting routines). Both the cardio and toning exercises show one “base” move plus three intensified variations. It’s a great motivational technique — you can really push yourself, knowing you can back off to an easier level if you get tired (one exerciser always demonstrates the base move). Teri Ann Krefting is friendly and energetic; she — and her class — are obviously enjoying themselves. ©2007. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Crunch: Belly, Butt & Thighs Boot Camp

Too much 'background noise'
Teri Ann's great and this is a fun & effective workout, but the background 'whoo'ing is WAY over the top and unfortunately keeps me from pulling this out more often. - posted by Claire on 10/23/2011
Great Video for Beginners!!
I love this workout! I am a 40 yo mother of 4, who has done little to stay in shape over the past few years. I also have the pilates 20 minute workout that I have done off and on for the past 4 or 5 years. I love the pilates and this workout combined. I rotate the workouts. This instructor gives excellent cues when the exercise is going to change! You can really feel it in your butt and thighs when you are done!! Nothing is too hard to do and I really like how she starts out going slow, then moves to tempo! Great for those of us who are not well coordinated!! I know a lot of reviews called her Barbie, I do agree, but I wish I looked like her!! I feel its a great video for beginners, because it is easy to follow. I couldn't finish the whole workout at first, but that gives me something to work up to!! I highly recommend it!! - posted by Teresa on 5/19/2011
Teri Ann in Butt, Belly & Thigh Boot Camp
I'm really working with this video; I'm doing decent on keeping up. Just like the review said, beginner/intermediate--I'd stopped exercising about three months ago after only a short start back. So this range's category was important for me to get right. I want just what Teri Ann is claiming in this workout and in working with a Flexible Meal Menu Replacement this past week and the next fifteen ahead, I saw four lbs off this first week. Yea!! - posted by Evelia on 5/14/2011
Solid Workout
I enjoyed this DVD and while not "hard core" bootcamp, I found it challenging enough to keep up with. I appreciated her four stage approach to get you used to the combos etc. for the cardio bursts. I found her form to be very good and her cuing as well. Although it is fairly heavy on the lunges, my knee for once, did not act up too much and there is one participant who shows modifications. I have a ways to go before I can keep up with the floor work for the abs (one leg bridge is challenging) but I'll get there. All in all this is a workout I'll keep in the rotation! - posted by Pam on 5/10/2011
A Fun Kickbutt Workout
I've had this dvd since 2009 and it remains one of my all-time favorites. It is fun while at the same time gives you a great kickbutt workout. I like that the ab section includes one legged bridges. It's a great workout for anyone to have in their collection. - posted by Tiffany on 2/12/2011
Most fun cardio workout
I love this work out it is fun, lively and effective. You work hard without realizing it because the instructor is so motivating. - posted by Aretha on 1/28/2011
kick butt barbie
This is my challenge day workout. Like most women, my belly, butt and thighs are my challenge areas (especially since I have a desk job and 4 kids). I have done this video several times and still can't keep up with bootcamp barbie. This video really helps to tone your lower body. I think it is a solid intermediate workout and super great for the average woman trying to really get into shape. - posted by Crystal on 9/12/2010
Don't take it too seriously
I am an intermediate/advanced exerciser. I find this to be a fun workout for light days. Hard core bootcamp it is not, however it is a lot of fun with definitely no dread factor. I just up the intensity of the exercises in order to get my heartrate up. Wish it were a bit longer though, which is why I only gave it four stars. - posted by Suzanne on 6/29/2010
Great Workout with a Very Good Trainer
Although one reviewer called her, "Bootcamp Barbie," I think Teri Ann Krefting is a very good instructor and wish she had more workouts available to purchase. She does have workouts available on Exercise TV online. And, if you use a lot of workout DVDs, you will see her as "back-up" for other instructors. The workout itself is excellent. I consider myself intermediate and I find it fairly challenging. Every time I use this DVD, I ask myself why I don't use it more often. - posted by Tina on 5/2/2010
Challenging And Worthwhile
I bought this workout to strengthen my lower body and because the preview clip looked intense. I wasn't disappointed at all! Terri Ann is motivating without being too perky or too serious. However, I get a weird vibe between her and the background instructors that they don't get along but it's only easier to tell when you've done this DVD constantly. Every time I do this routine I feel the burn and break a sweat. My legs and butt are more toned and my endurance has increased. Even people with knee pain could do this workout thanks to modifications from an instructor named Michelle. Overall, it's invigorating and it works. Definitely recommended. - posted by Lindsey on 11/2/2009

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus
X
You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
