Crunch: Cardio Dance Blast! |
 I've Warmed Up To This Rather Quickly :) |
| Okay, I'm one of those uncoordinated girls who find it hard to move her arms and legs the right way simultaneously. The first time I did this, I looked like a complete moron and thought that it might have been a waste of money since the dances are so quick-paced and the moves are a little big for me. But after working out every day for at least 30 minutes (usually alternating between strength-training, cardio, tai chi, yoga, etc.), I decided to try it again a week later. I was surprised at how fun the dances were and how well I improved on them. Yes, it does have a little "cheese factor" with some of the outfits and the moves but it's a great workout overall and you get a nice sweat and feel happier. It's now in my weekly rotation. - posted by Lindsey on 8/19/2009 |

 Am I Doing The Same Workout? |
| I had to triple check that I was doing the same workout as all the reviewers here. I cannot believe this is a staff favorite! It's SO boring, easy, annoying, etc. I don't even know where to start...My heartrate never got elevatated, and I was modifying to make things harder (i.e. jogging instead of marching, jumping when they didn't). Her slow demos were painfully long, and she did it in every single section. Each section was super short, so at least they didn't drag out, but I think I get a better workout walking to my mailbox. Oh, and don't get me started on the giant, fake smiles on all the women in the DVD, and the instructor who repeats the same phrases over and over and over...Just, no. - posted by Jamie on 7/22/2009 |

| Flew by! |
| I really love all the dance Crunch videos, and this is no exception. It truly flies by. The best part is, I kept having to stop to check my heart rate, because I couldn't really tell I was working... And yes, it was way up there! I recommend this video to anyone who wants to burn extra calories and feel totally silly (in the best way possible) at the same time. Excellent! - posted by Mandy on 5/18/2009 |

| funky!! |
| I wanted a purely aerobic dvd and that is what this is. I liked the fact that it is constantly changing, so little chance of getting bored. I found some of the routines a little frustrating, but, I know that with practice I will be able to follow along and "work it" a little more. The music is fun and funky, the costumes are fun too and go with the whole theme. I am just getting back into working out and didn't find this dvd intimidating at all, just a fun aerobic work out. - posted by Sarah on 4/7/2009 |

| Fun, fun! |
| This workout was so much fun, lots of fun moves. I think some of the choreography is a bit more than basic. It isn't a hardcore workout but at my age, I know I will never have the body of a 20 year old and am more concerned with just getting enough daily exercise to hopefully ward off disease as I age. The goofy expressions and silly costumes didn't bother me, I thought they made it interesting. Marie is a very likable instructor and has fabulous abs. - posted by SDHR on 2/11/2009 |

| Fun Dance Workout! |
| This was my first exercise video ever and it is still a fave. I am seventeen and I got this video a few years ago when I was looking for a dance video and came upon this one. It was tough getting through it at first but very fun, so I kept sweating through it. Got me hooked on exercise videos and I now do Int/Adv and Adv videos. I like to vary my workouts (weights, pilates, ballet, kickbox, etc) and when I want to do a dance workout I still do this video when I want something fun and not too hard a workout. Easy to get into the routines. I also do not mind the whooping and the cheesiness and find it makes the workout more fun:) Marie looks awesome as always. - posted by Vanessa on 10/18/2008 |

| Excellent beginner workout |
| This is the first video that I did after my pregnancy to get back in shape. It is definitely a beginner video, or for someone like me who just had a baby and wants to really start working out again. I actually looked forward to doing this video each day because it was actually fun as well as effective. - posted by Michelle on 3/28/2008 |

| Lots of fun! |
| This was a blast! Unlike a lot of dance workout DVDs, the moves are a bit hipper and more current, which is kind of a rarity to find. My only gripe is the length: I wish it was a full hour! However, I did break a sweat. This workout is ideal for a lighter day. - posted by Molly on 2/22/2008 |

| Pretty good but I like Dance Workout for Dummies better |
| I found the "Dummies" workout easier to follow and more fun. I did like this video however and although I had some trouble following the moves I know I will pick up on them a few times through. I agree with the reviewer who complained about the costumes, there were a few that were so awful you just can't believe it. And lose the hats! That said, Marie has great enthusiasm and energy and I enjoyed her a lot. I look forward to the next workout! - posted by Sassy on 2/12/2008 |

| Fun, fun, fun! |
| I love this video! Marie is so upbeat and positive, and I happen to love her little comments. The whole vidoe has this cool, hip and happening feel. The moves are fun, once you get the hang of it. It was a challenge for me to learn some of the moves - I am so not a dancer - but I kept at it, and I'm glad I did. - posted by Miriam on 12/6/2007 |
