Year Released: 1996

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


I had bought the Billy Blanks Crunch video and did not like it, so when I saw this Master Blaster video, I decided to give the Crunch series another try. I soon discovered I strongly disliked this video. The camera changes right in the middle of doing a particular step and once I got lost, the entire set of steps became more difficult. Many of the camera shots are from the waist up, or as she is explaining a move, the camera is showing another person in the background, and not even their feet for that matter! The girl with the long hair down to her butt was disgusting to watch. I liked Tracy's high energy, but I found her difficult to follow. Maybe in time once I learn the moves better the video will seem fine, but I initially shut this video off about 18 minutes into the workout because I spent more time tripping over my own feet than anything. And I do have dance background and I work out to videos EVERY DAY. Furthermore, all the grapevines require much floor space. I move my bed every day to work out and have quite an ample amount of room to work out, but even this required more than I had. I'll continue to work on it, but I would not waste the money.

Instructor Comments:
I liked Tracy's high energy and upbeat attitude. I always watch the video prior to using it and just listening to her made me want to jump up and get started.
