Crunch: Boot Camp Training

Year Released: 1999

Categories: Circuit Training (cardio and weights)


With strength work, I am an intermediate exerciser, who doesn’t really want to move up to advanced work. I have really enjoyed getting into workouts on the ball as an alternative to traditional strength training and Pilates.

This is the first Crunch tape I have really liked after the first viewing. It is a 30-minute workout that crams a lot into a short time with compound moves. A lot of the combinations are different than ones I’ve done before and it is a full-body workout, including abs. Susan did a good job of doing one part of the combination and then adding on the next part.

She leads the typical Crunch group of exercises, except that the “whoop” factor seemed to be lower and the total trendiness of the exercisers seemed to be less obvious. In other words, the “irritation factors” in this workout seemed to be less for me.

Instructor Comments:
Susan is really encouraging and challenged me to stay with her.
