Movie Reviews of Crunch - Cardio Dance Blast
Movie Review: Easy enough to start, fun enough to keep going.
Summary: 5 Stars
I will start out by saying that if you wanted to see an elephant dancing in a china shop, you should invite me. I'm a TERRIBLE dancer - very unimaginative, and uncoordinated... and too reserved. But I love to move my body, and getting on the machines at the gym isn't always convenient, or fun. I will also let you know that I am PLUS sized, and while I'm working on fixing that, I'm currently working out with a good amount of weight on my body.
Enter Maria Forleo, little miss gorgeous abs extraordinaire. I feel that her instructions are:
a) easy to follow
b) fun
c) a little silly and cheesy (which makes me smile in the middle of my workout, whether it's for the right reason or not)
d) motivating
Also? There's this curly-haired blonde girl standing to Maria's left (our right) who makes the WEIRDEST facial expressions when the camera hits her. Someone told her this was comedy opera theatre or something. GREAT overacting. That right there always makes me laugh when I'm working out. Just watch for her, you'll see what I mean.
Did I do the moves right the first (5) time(s) I watched it? Probably not. But I still got a good workout just from trying. And now, after owning the video for a few years, I have them memorized. It's not my workout method every DAY, but I do incorporated it one to two times a week to keep things mixed up. So can you do it too? Yeah, it just requires practice.
The moves are, pointedly, a little dated and silly. I think it's hilarious that anyone would user these moves in public, as the dvd case recommends. Maybe if it was 1993. However...
... maybe it's because I'm a bigger person, but these dance moves have me DRIPPING sweat by the end of the video. And although some people have complained that it's too short, for me, 35-40 minutes is my cardio goal. I am a young mom, and I just don't have time or energy for anything more than that.
So:
YES I would recommend it,
YES I enjoy it, and,
YES it works for me.
