Crunch: Fat Burning Pilates |
 Love Love Love This Workout |
| I bought this dvd 9 years ago and This is the 3rd time I've bought this video. Cant get enough of it. Ellen is motivating and uplifting. I used this video to lose post pregnancy weight with my first and it was very effective. Low impact, great for the legs and I couldnt wait to workout everyday. I'm not an exercise fan at all but this dvd was fun and enjoyable. I'm pregnant again with my 3rd and am using this video (minus the mat work) to get me through. Highly recommend the dvd. - posted by Courtney on 1/3/2013 |

| Ellen Barrett |
| This is my second purchase of Ellen Barrett workouts. I love her style. Everything is fluid and right on que. I'm warm but not dripping in sweat. I'm inter/adv in my workouts and I like this change from the high impact cardio I was doing for so long. You get results with this too. Plus it's fun. - posted by Margie on 10/18/2012 |

| Loved this |
| I am an Int/Adv exerciser and I am happy to have just discovered the world of Ellen Barrett... This workout is different than what I'm used to (heavy cardio, heavy weights), but I liked the fact that in this workout, I used my own body weight and felt a full range of motion to work my entire body out in a short period of time. I also like that I feel refreshed and warm when it's completed, so I use this work out when I feel stressed and my body has tensed up. The music is also great and different in this workout. Nice change of pace. - posted by Shelly on 10/12/2012 |

| Great Ellen Barrett from the Crunch series |
| This Ellen Barrett workout is listed as "Intermediate" and it is maybe a little more challenging than some of her others. I am a super-fan of Ellen and a former fitness instructor myself. I'm familiar with LOTS of fitness styles and instructors, and now that I'm 60+ and still pretty fit, Ellen is my ideal instructor. This one is fun, with a live drummer and good up-tempo moves. Like all of Ellen's routines, it's very well cued, scientifically designed to work all the muscle groups, fun, and motivating. This is one I keep coming back to, but then that's true of most of Ellen's DVD's! - posted by Rebecca on 10/11/2012 |

| Great video |
| This is my first workout with this instructor and I really love this video. I am a life long jazzerciser but like to mix it up. However, after living in South America with concrete floors, and now with more back, knee and foot problems, I thought I'd try this out and so glad I did. The combination of pilates movements with cardio was the perfect combination, not too much, but enough that I feel the stretches each time I do them. Also, there is no irritation whatsoever on my back which is hard to find in an exercise video. - posted by Jo Nichols on 7/24/2012 |

| Faster paced |
| This is one of my favorite Ellen Barrett workouts, if not my favorite. The thing that sets it apart from her later Studio and Live workouts is the faster pace which is great and makes the workout go by fast. I also like the drum music better than some of the music in her other workouts. In the middle of a few of her newer workouts I also find myself wondering how much longer I have to go (but I enjoy them anyway) but never with this one. - posted by Anne on 4/29/2012 |

 good addition to my collection |
| I really like Ellen's style in all her videos I own! Not crazy about the drums but you get used to it. I have been pairing this video with something else either cardio or some weight lifting for a good solid work out. - posted by Lisa on 4/19/2012 |

| Gets your abs working |
| Good workout and I like Ellen. You can feel your abs getting a work out. I agree with the other reviews that the DVD is distracting when they keep showing the drummer when you want to see what Ellen is doing, not the drummer. But besides that it is a good workout. - posted by Jen on 3/30/2012 |

| Oh, does this workout make my legs feel great! |
| Fun choreography -- not too repetitive -- and energizing music. I had to deduct one star because Ellen's cuing is not quite up to her usual standards, and at one point the camera is lingering on the hot drummer when it should be picking up on a movement change. But pickiness aside, I really enjoy this video. It's probably at the middle to lower end of the "intermediate" spectrum, but it does nice things to my legs. - posted by Rose on 2/22/2012 |
