Time graph for Crunch: Boot Camp Training

Well-sequenced routines that uniquely combine resistance, control and position variations for maximum body-shaping. In just 30 minutes you’ll get a thorough, total-body toning workout (you also get a little cardio benefit during some faster-paced sets). Each movement is designed to build on the previous one. E.g. you’ll start with basic squats, add some overhead presses and then increase that combo’s intensity by coming up from the squats as you do the overhead presses. Even the short ending stretch “active isolated flexibility” is innovative and fun. Sue Hitzman’s careful cuing and attention to technique are superb. Requires 3 to 10 lb. dumbbells. ©1999.

Crunch: Boot Camp Training

Oldie but goodie
This is an old dvd, I have owned it for a few years now, but I never hesitate to reach for it. As others have stated, it is a very effective cardio/sculpting workout when you're crunched for time. I still sweat everytime though. The plyo moves are no joke! Of course, since this is a bootcamp w/o, there is no shortage of push-ups. Get it, you will want this in your rotation! - posted by Jessica on 8/22/2010
Good workout overall
I liked the instructor on this one and it's a good overall workout. In the faster cardio sections the cueing isn't always clear and there are some semi-complicated moves. I should have them down after I've done the video a couple times. This will be a good daily workout. - posted by Esther on 7/2/2010
Tone Up Fast!
This DVD is easy to follow. I noticed results within a week. I was so surprised. Sue is easy to follow and I really like the demonstrations that she sequences in to the exercise. If you are looking for an easy workout that still gives good results than you need this DVD! - posted by Shirley on 4/15/2010
Great DVD to own
I have had this workout for several years, and it has remained in my rotation of 40+ home workouts. The instructor is great and to the point. For a 30 minute workout this one does get the heart pumping, and I like the focus on the arms/shoulders ~ I use 8lbs. Definitely a keeper!! - posted by April on 4/13/2010
One of my favorites
I love this video, I get a great workout in minimum time - it's a fun workout with a great instructor. Can't believe she only produced one workout video - I'd buy more from in her a heartbeat! My only beef is the stretches at the end are way too short - I usually pause or stop the video and need to tack on another 10 minutes of stretching my arms, legs and doing a back arch to stretch out my abs. Maybe they had to sacrifice the stretch time to fit it all into 30 minutes. Anyway I keep coming back to this video, and some of friends who are not regular exercisers have tried it and love it too. It's enough to be a challenge without being intimidating. Get it, you won't be sorry. - posted by Jackie on 4/5/2010
Terrific workout
Took a couple of weeks to be able to complete this workout without stopping, but believe me worth the effort. Works all body parts!! A 30 minute workout that gives great results... - posted by Sandi on 3/22/2010
Got Crunched?
I enjoy this tape for when I crunched for time or my energy levels are low. It is a fun tape that gets me sweating in no time. Sue has a great personality and the music and setting is upbeat. Even though it is a 30 minute video, you will get a nice workout during that time. Don't let the 30 minutes fool you! - posted by Gilda on 1/23/2010
A Keeper
Good cueing, great for cardio and strength training. Excellent for when you're short on time. One of my favorites! - posted by Jessie on 1/6/2010
One of My All Time Favorites
This was one of the first workout vhs "tapes" I bought back in 2k when I was trying to get in shape. It is still listed as one of my favs. It's great when you need a good workout but short on time. I plan to buy the dvd today. - posted by Yolanda on 12/12/2009
excellent for beginners or intermediate if short on time
I am 47 and have not worked out in about 3 years. I used to be an intermediate-advanced to advanced exerciser. I bought this video when I was at that level hoping to get a good short workout but it was way too light for me. But this time around I needed a video that could get me started again. It is perfect for that. It gets my heart rate up but not to some crazy level. just at the cardio level. This time around I was determined to start without the 3 days of sore muscles so first I started with no weights then added 3, 5 then 8 lb weights, so it grew with me as I progressed. Same for the other crunch- cardio I believe. I would alternate while starting out. I love the instructors and the videos. It is not boring and has been perfect for me when I want a short easy video. I will say if I get lazy and take a few weeks off then start up again, I can really feel it in by butt after my workout. for what it is, a short intermediate workout I give it 4 stars not 5 because it is pretty easy, more toward beginner. - posted by janet on 6/19/2009

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.
