Crunch: 10 Minute Abs

Janis Saffell
Year Released: 1998

Categories: Abs/Core


This is a 8 minute workout with 1 minute warmup and 1 minute cool down. This is a great ab workout that you can add onto another workout that doesn't have ab work or if you just need a quick ab workout. Janis uses a towel for added resistance on the lower ab work. This really helped me understand the muscle that I was working. You put the towel in the balls of your feet and push the towel with your feet as you pull the towel with your hands. Very clever! I felt the burn. Then you use the towel behind your neck to take the pressure off while you do crunches and oblique work. Janis also adds some punching with the oblique work which was unique. She adds a little bit of Kickboxing in her choreography wherever she goes:o) Janis is very friendly and encouraging throughout the video. It is the same cast as her Crunch 10 minute Buns. All the women are in great shape. There is no hooting and whooping like the original Crunch tapes which is nice. I like this tape because before you know it, you're done and you've got your abs out of the way. It's short and sweet. The set is nice and bright with lots of colors and hardwood floor. The music is upbeat but with no vocals.

Instructor Comments:
Janis cues well and has great abs to motivate you. Her ab choreography is truly unique from any other video I've seen. I love how she uses a towel during the workout to support the neck as well as add resistance to the lower abs. She wears much more makeup then her CIA video's which makes her look even more glamorous but she still is as gorgeous as ever.
