 Crunch DVD April 14, 2010
William P. Clinton (NJ USA)
Very simple and straight forward reshaping exercise program. First section focuses on movement and flexibility with the second section focusing on light, repeticous muscle building with the use of light dumbells.
I'm a male in my early sixties and these fun routines are enough to keep me loose & flexible, increase my heart rate, and keep my muscles toned.
Reviewed a number of exercise DVD's from my local library and found "Crunch" to be the one that most fit my lifestyle.
My price for this DVD with S&H was under $11.00 - a great value.

 Good toning work out March 22, 2010

This DVD is great for toning but there is no specific work for the abs.
Good for toning November 9, 2009

I was introduced to Kendall Hogan via Fit Tv. I love all of his All-Star Workout episodes they play, I believe there are 3 total. This DVD is the same enthusiastic Kendall Hogan that I loved from FitTV, but it lacked some of the cardio that I like in his other workouts I've done. When I do this workout I usually hit the treadmill for 15-20 first to get in the cardio that I want. With that said my husband really liked it b/c of the ease of the short cardio circuits he does and the great upper body workout. I agree that the toning when done with appropriate weights for your ability you can really feel the workout. They suggest one set of weights, but I use 2 sets (3's and 5's...a few moves I even use 10's- but my goal is always more reps than weight). From a male perspective my husband uses 15- 30lb weights and really likes the 45mins+ workout.
Overall, I think you'll enjoy this workout if you are looking for a toning routine.
Great work out October 26, 2009

This DVD is great! Kendell takes things at a managable pace. I am not at all coordinated but am able to follow along without a problem. My muscles expecially glutes and arms are sore the day after. I haven't lost much weight, but can see a definite difference in tone. I can actually see where my muscles are!! I've only been using the DVD for about three weeks, but so far I love it. Wish there was a little more focus on abs, but I can always work them on my own. Kendell is modivational and really keeps you going even when you want to stop.
This may be a great strength and toning workout, but it scorched the calories as well! October 5, 2009

I workout 6 days a week to a large collection of fitness dvds that I've amassed over the last few years. Because of this, I have a lot to compare this dvd to...and I'd give this one 6 stars if I could.
Strength: First, it's rare to find a dvd that hits the mark on so many levels. As far as strength training goes it's among the best. He really gives you just the right amount of reps to really make a difference. In all honesty, many strength workouts do too few. This will build muscle and tone which means you continue burning calories long after the workout (studies have shown this about strength training) and increase metabolism so you continue to burn calories even at rest as you build more muscle.
Caloric burn: That said, most strength workouts will offer the above benefits but not high caloric burn during the workout like a cardio workout would. (cardio typically burns way more calories DURING the workout) Not so for this one. I wear a bodybugg to measure my daily caloric burn and, becauase of this, I'm also able to measure exactly how many calories I burn total and per minute during a fitness dvd. I mention this only so you know what I say is based on scientific measurement rather than perceived exertion. Surprisingly, this packed as much punch as many of my cardio workouts as far as calaoric burn, without feeling like you are out of breath at all! he achieves this by a fun small cardio warm up to get your heart pumping and then utilizing moves that work both upper and lower body to keep it up during a great deal of the dvd.He begins with an amazing lower body workout and utilizing these large muscles in the body are great for higher caloric burn via muacle development. It's well thought out and, consequently, I actually burned MORE calories during this STRENGTH workout than some other CARDIO calorie burning workouts. Because strength offers additional caloric benefits this makes it a big winner in my book and a rarity.
Cueing: I have two left feet so I give away many dvds that trip me up due to poor cueing. This one is a keeper. I've never seen this instructor before (but I'd buy him again...more on that in a minute) but he's got the cueing down...not only does he let you know what you are going to do clearly before you do it, but even in the cardio portion he repeats steps until you have it down and they are all easy to follow but fun in a new and different kind of way. Not the usual moves you see time after time and you'll work your abs even in the standing movements. Great cueing and if I can do it anybody can.
Energy: excellent. The instructor has a low radio announcer kind of voice just a notch above the Allstate commercial guy tone so it's smooth and easy to hear, yet he is all about energy. Many instructors seem fake when they try to act like they are enjoying their workout ( I think of some of the Firm instructors who look bored but say things like "that was fun!" or "that felt great!" in a bored voice) but he truly looked and sounded as though he was having a blast and that was contagious. I often pause a dvd in the middle when I'm working out and hop on my elliptical for a few minutes or just do some jumping jacks or dance to mix things up, then go back to the dvd when it doesn't keep my attention span. This was the first dvd in a long long time that I DIDNT want to end. That shocked me. I MAKE myself workout...I don't look foreward to doing it often.
Set: Very cool and brightly colored and well lit gym with glass windows...quite cool looking for a gym look.
Body toning: full body, every muscle. You will FEEL this one...if you don't increase your weights. Even standing core and ab work is included...you'll feel it even without monotonous lengthy floor crunches.
Backup trainers: all followed along perfectly with no irritating "woooops!" and "yeahs!" or anything like that that you often see. Good energy here too.
Equipment: just grab some weights.
Negative: I try to end every review with a negeative since rarely is anything pefect...but I think this one is about as close as you can get. I guess if I had to pick something it may be that I know some people like to have "real" looking people in a fitness dvd along with the hard bodies so they feel like "they are doing this so so can I" and you won't see that here. They do all look like models or um, "dancers" but to me that's a bit inspiring...so it will bug some but I'm okay with it...It makes me think I need to keep going because I'm 43 and well, not in that kind of shape! It makes me want to be. (Ah, one can dream...) However, for those who may find this a negative I guess it's the only thing I can really mention. Which says a lot about the dvd.
Conclusion: A 6 star dvd in my opinion. Burns the calories, tones the muscles, with an instructor that motivated me better than others have in a long time. The energy is contagious and the moves are easy to follow. And boy will you feel it working!!!
p.s. His lower body workout offers a great fanny lifter! Yowza!
