2-16-98 I got Master Class Aerobics in the mail last night(thanks, Joyce!) and "Yow!" This is definitely going to be one of my favs, for several reasons not the least of which is Michael Perron, who has throughly charmed the

sweatsocks off me! On his bio he says he's 28 AND SINGLE. Now is that an advertisement, or what? He's in Dallas so if any of you ladies are interested, find out which gym he's at, grab a jar of peanut butter (his favorite binge food) and go! Yep, you got it, I wasn't just sweating, I was drooling, but damn those 57 minutes flew by!

His cuing was pretty good, although they could have panned back a little more so you could see his feet as well as his face. The combinations were fun, and not too difficult. Several twists and spins, which I don't do since I work out on carpet, but it's easy to leave those out. I expect to have the combinations *down* by the end of the third time I do this video.

Once again, Crunch has slid little comments between sections. I have three favorites: "Complaining about your thighs isn't aerobic"; "Isn't workng out at home great? No one can see you jumping around in your underwear!" (Which, by the way, is what I think the Asian woman in the video is wearing--dyed blue men's jockey-style underwear. Blech!); and then, at the end of the last aerobic segment before the cool down, came my all time favorite "Crunch-ism", "You know something? You look stunningly beautiful when you're sweating." !!!

It may be cheap and obvious, but I don't care, I'm hooked! I will do this tape over and over just so I get to watch Michael ("We'll do it again, don't worry." "Watch me." [Not taking my eyes off you!]), have fun)and get that last confidence boost.

The stretch *was* a bit skimpy, and the workout is probably not strenuous enough for the cardio queens, but this one is definitely going on my "favorites" list.
