I like this little gem. I bought this after doing the Crunch workout on a day off and decided to try a video. One complaint is the production quality... Crunch is a nationally known gym with top instructors and a daily show on ESPN 2. Tracking needs major adjusting. If not Firm quality at least call Step In Motion or Greg Twombley, (who has filmed quite a few Crunch instructors.)

Alright about the video. The choreography is simple and fun and I like the music because it reminds me of mid-80s Prince and his Minneapolis sound. It's about 24 minutes of beginner to intermediate cardio which makes it a good prelude to heavy weight work . It doesn't take itself seriously and Tracy cues beautifully. She doesn't miss a beat. I did this video after recovering from jet lag and needed to feel my body move again. The set is Crunch standard, colorful and bright. The exercisers aren't color co-ordinated so it looks like a regular aerobics class. It's not a Desert Island video but for a day when you need a light workout and need to get the kinks outs.

Instructor Comments:
Energetic and perky without being cloying like Denise Austin. She's a veteran instructor, (ESPN Fitness Pros and the Classic Buns of Steel series) Cues effortlessy, and is just having fun.
