Well this is quite a little gem that I picked up through the Exchange. Great music, high energy, normal Crunch atmosphere. It's a 57-minute floor aerobics workout. After the warm-up and stretch, you start with some basic moves and gradually build intensity through the different sections. No taking it from the top through the entire video like CIAs do. I love that!

Each section gets a little more intense and a little higher impact, but you can certainly raise the intensity from the beginning by using more power moves. Basic stuff with a little bit of danciness thrown in. Lots of step touches, knee ups, hamstring curls, skips, jacks, lunge-type moves, pivots, etc.

The only negative IMO is that he starts each section slowly teaching arm movements while marching or step touching. That's okay because the music is good and he moves into the actual combo quickly, but I'm not in this for fancy arm movements. It throws off my concentration and I'd rather just reach and pull or something. Even so, I'd give them video an intermediate rating and a definite A-. Plus, he's so cute that I want to see him again.

Instructor Comments:
What a cutie! He's a personal trainer and probably a bit better at that, but he's pretty good actually. Lots of energy and fun.
