This Crunch video differs from their other offerings in its length. The video is composed of a warm up, seven 6-7 minute blocks of choreography, and cool down/ stretch. It clocks in at about an hour, making it about twice as long as the average Crunch tape. Actually, it is longer than a lot of hi/lo videos out there. This tape really does not feel that long when you are doing it. This is due to the lack of tiftting. You learn a block of choreography, run through it a few times, and then move on to the next one. The tape builds in a logical manner. The routines gradually grow in intensity, with the fifth being the most intense (in my opinion). The intensity then lowers for the final two routines. I have seen the choreography described as basic. I really would have to rate it moderate-complex. Michael does not spend lots of time teaching a routine. I would rate the intensity intermediate/advanced (if you really throw yourself into it). There is a woman showing low impact options, but sometimes she is not entirely visible. It doesn't look as fun, either.
The music is typical Crunch stuff. It was high energy and I like it enough. Yes, there was whooping. I don't have a problem with it, but then again I kind of like being dorky when I work out (in my own home, with the curtains clamped shut!) This is one of my favorite floor aerobics tapes. If you can pick it up for a good price, it is definitely worth a look.

Instructor Comments:
Someone described Michael as having "a bad 90's frat boy haircut". So true. The tattoo only adds to his frat boy demeanor. He's moves and teaches well and does seem like a genuinely nice guy, however.
