Tracy York is very energetic and a pretty decent instructor. I just don't care much for the Crunch format with all the whooping and other sound effects that obviously aren't coming from the class.

This is a short (24 minutes) floor aerobics video with a 5-minute warmup and a 4-minute cooldown. Supposedly the interval style format helps burn fat faster. I didn't detect that this was an interval tape until I re-read the cover. I kept wondering what the 'power bursts' were that Tracy kept referring to, since I didn't really notice any big changes in intensity throughout the video.

Don't be misled by Collage's rating of this video as "intermediate" with "moderate" choreography. I think it's more for beginners -- I haven't done floor aerobics in years and this was pretty easy for me to follow without getting my heartrate anywhere near my maximum training zone.

This could be a fun workout for beginner to intermediate exercisers, although I'm not sure how much fat you can burn in 24 minutes at the intensity of this video. Maybe I'm just used to killer hour-long step videos. Don't hesitate to buy it if you can get in on sale and aren't looking for a super intense workout.
