Movie Reviews of Crunch - Burn & Firm Pilates
Movie Review: Great for the thighs!
Summary: 5 Stars
Thank God I found Ellen's Pilates inspired DVDs. Years ago, I first tried pilates by Mari Winsor and that was a complete turn off. I wasted time and money with Mari Winsor. I'll post a review on winsorpilates to elaborate. Anyways, Ellen's programs ( I also have her pilates/yoga blend and love it) may only be pilates inspired but they gave me results. This burn and firm is a total body workout but it especially helped slim down my thighs; they don't jiggle as much and I fit nicely in those 'skinny' jeans. I really believe it's from the million plies in this video. I don't look forward to doing those plies but I remind myself of what those plies had done to my lower body. This is low impact and I sweat buckets when I'm done with this. This has compound exercises like the seesaw and the swan combination and that works the entire body. There are many more kinds of compound exercises here that are so effective. I highly recommend this DVD 'coz it's completely wonderful....Movie Review: Best Fitness Tapes
Summary: 5 Stars
I have struggled with my weight for many years and when I came across Burn & Firm Pilates, I thought I would try it. To my surprise I now own everyone of the "Crunch Studio" tapes with the exclusion of the dance (I still have to try). All the exercise are easy to follow. I have advanced into their Yoga and alternate with the other "Crunch Studio" tapes through out the week for a total body workout. They are alot of fun and the instuctions on doing the exercise are easy to follow. Sometimes you don't even feel as if you are exercising. The results are amazing for the little effort put forth. I have been able to stay into a size 8 (that was my goal), of course, along with healthy eating. Out of all the workouts that are out there (believe me I have tried them all even Tie Bow and the Core Ball). The "Crunch Studio" tapes are the best I can't wait utnil they come out with more. Do yourself a favor and invest in the collection.Movie Review: Outstanding DVD from Outstanding Instructor
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this DVD for three and a half months. I can definitely see results. This DVD really gets me sweating and I feel I get a great workout. To be more specific, this DVD typically burns about 260 - 270 calories, and I'm in my target heart zone for about 18 minutes.
The instructor is not perky in an annoying way. I really like her and own all her other Crunch DVDs and use them all frequently.
I do this one three to four days a week, and alternate with Ellen's other Crunch Pilates Cardio DVD (can't remember the name, it's the one with the green cover).
I can't recommend Ellen Barrett's DVDs enough. I've tried a lot of exercise DVDs, but these are the only ones I've stuck with.
I'd love it if she'd put out a DVD combining the ab moves from ALL her Crunch DVDs to make one Pilates Ab video. That would be fantastic (if she happens to be reading this).
Movie Review: intense, lots of dance steps & mat workouts
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fun dvd - it involves using light weights (which is optional), some dance steps & working out on the mat. You have a choice whether to do the class with the instructor or follow one of the girls in the group (who does the class on a less intense level). It's just as effective. You have to focus on the core. That is the whole thing about pilates - the core. And to remember to breathe. I listen to my pilate dvds 4 - 5 times a week. It is less than an hour & I feel I get much from the lessons. The more you watch the more it comes to you in case you missed a few things in the beginning. You have to be consistent in order to get results. It's easy to stick to because it's fun & in the house. I use them whenever I feel like it - either morning or night. I ordered more - it's good to have a variety - it makes you want to exercise because you constantly learn new methods of pilates.Movie Review: Great workout!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just discovered Ellen Barrett and really enjoy her videos. I have been wanting to take a Pilates class for some time but found many that just dont fit into my schedule so I decided to buy an at home Pilates video.
I am very impressed with this workout. You really feel the burn and feel that you are getting a workout. The light weights get your heart pumping but is not overdone so you really feel that you are in the fat burning zone.
Ellen's personality is wonderful. She is cheerful but not overly perky. Her instructions are great and she really tells you how each move should be executed so you are performing it properly.
I must say in the short time (just a few weeks)that I have been doing her videos (Fat Burning Pilates and Superslim Down too!), I have really noticed a change in my body. I feel more toned and slimmer.
