Movie Reviews of Crunch: Yoga Body Sculpt
Movie Review: Sculpting, stretching, and relaxing all in one!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've honestly never done much yoga because I always thought it was a little boring, but when I decided to give it another try, I wanted a slightly easier DVD to experiment with. "Crunch: Yoga Body Sculpt" was the perfect DVD to try because it was fun, effective, and made me feel fantastic! It's led by Bethany Lyons, a dramatic yet encouraging instructor who makes the workout a lot of fun. Like most Crunch DVDs, there is a large background of backup people that are doing yoga along with Bethany, and they are not afraid to hoot and holler during the practice. This really adds to the fun factor of yoga, I felt, and made it seem less like a ritual and more like a workout. If you like yoga to be very quiet, though, you might not enjoy this aspect. One of the backup girls modifies some of the exercisers, so if you are brand new to yoga or just not feeling like pushing yourself, you can follow her slightly easier postures.
Now, you begin the workout with just some deep breaths in a seated position on the floor, some cat/cow stretches, and a modified boat pose. You then move onto flowing yoga sequences that Bethany does one time slow with you then speeds up for two more times. The first flowing set of poses is almost exactly a sun salutation, and if you don't know what that is, don't worry, you should be able to follow along by practicing and watching Bethany since she explains and demonstrates everything very well. Basically, you are required to fold down, get in push up position, and do some other basic things there. After this series, you do another flowing section that involves some of the same moves. After those, you move into a crescent section that really works your legs. This is basically a set of exercises while maintaining a lunge on your leg the entire time; it can be very tough. Finally, you finish with some stretches and a relaxing, almost-meditation part where you are lying on the floor and you are walked through a section of relaxing your body one body part at a time.
At the end of the workout, I feel relaxed yet energized, toned yet stretched. In other words, I feel great. It's a very simple, effective yoga DVD that lasts about 40 minutes and is worth every one of them. I highly recommend this to all people who enjoy yoga, because I think this DVD throws a fun spin on it that makes it very enjoyable to do.
