Crunch: Burn and Firm in 30 Minutes

Lori Dean
Year Released: 1998

Categories: Circuit Training (cardio and weights) , Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


Looking back, I'm not even sure why I bought this. It's a 30-minute workout alternating floor aerobics and toning. It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to guess that in 30 minutes you couldn't get a very decent aerobics AND toning workout. However, I think that if this had been expanded to 60 minutes, it wouldn't have been bad at all. The toning is fairly weak as it is, but in 60 minutes, maybe she could have spent more time on it. The workout as it is, is beginner/intermediate. This could be one to keep around for "short" days, but I myself would prefer to do *all* aerobics or *all* toning on short days. It seems like you get more out of it that way. Grade C.

Instructor Comments:
Lori Dean seems very nice and pleasant. It's hard to tell in this short tape what her teaching personality really is, but I think she'd probably be pretty good in a longer, more advanced workout.
