CIA 8003: Double Crunch

It was about time I got around to reviewing this video, and when I realized my review could put the video into the Hall of Fame, I sat down to my keyboard. Others have described the workout, so I'll just add my comments.

This was the first CIA video I truly loved. Jennifer is a member of that rare group of video instructors whose personality completely takes over the video screen and draws you in--a category in which I might also include Kari Anderson and Johnny G. Fortunately, I love Jennifer's personality, so CIA 8003 is a treasure!

Jennifer is just so adorable--I don't know how she manages to keep those Jenniferisms like "uh oh!" from getting old, but she does. Like fellow CIA veteran Christi Taylor, it's obvious to anyone who tries this workout that Jennifer is having a blast doing this workout and wants you to feel the same.

I'll admit I prefer the hi/lo to the step workout--the step section is good, too, but I just can't get enough of the hi/lo and I've probably done that section twice as often as the step section.

I think Jennifer ranks up with the absolute best of the CIA instructors, both in terms of interesting choreography and her superb cuing skills (something that can be lacking in some CIA productions).
