DVD Reviews of Cindy Crawford - Shape Your Body Workout
DVD Review: A great workout, with some modifications
Summary: 4 Stars
This was the very first workout tape I ever bought. I was sixteen, and I really wanted to get in shape so that I could make my high school dance team. I knew NOTHING about proper form, tempo, intensity--you know, all the things that are so important in a good workout. But once I popped this tape into the VCR, I was hooked! I did the routine day after day; and at the end of the year, I got picked for the dance team! I was definitely sore a lot, but I never experienced any injury. (Ah, youth--it truly is wasted on the young.)
Flash forward fifteen years. I was surfing Amazon a couple weeks ago, looking for a new routine to add to my home workout library, and I came across this old gem. I grew instantly nostalgic, but after reading the negative reviews, I was VERY hesitant to purchase it. I didn't recall it being such a bad workout, but then again, I didn't know anything back then. Still, I thought, "What the hell?" and decided to review it with new eyes (and a much less flexible, 30-something body).
What do I think of it now? Well, it's true what they say about Cindy--her form is pretty bad throughout the workout! It's a wonder that she didn't pinch a nerve flinging her head back so far during the warm-up, and I seriously don't know how her knees held up all those years doing lunges so poorly. Beyond the bad form, she races through the exercises so quickly that it's almost like you're watching the video on fast forward! I can see how a viewer (especially one who is an inexperienced exerciser) could injure him or herself by imitating Cindy.
That said, this DVD has some great exercises that you won't find anywhere else. I love the unique lunges and the leg swings, and I also like the abdomnial work. I feel powerful and sexy when I do this workout, and I love the fact that Cindy doesn't try to "encourage" the viewer by saying things like, "C'mon--you're almost there!" In fact, she seems to struggle through the workout as much as I do, which is its own kind of encouragement. I also really like the music she's chosen--it's both enjoyable to listen to and the right tempo to perform the reps in time to the music, if you like doing that sort of thing.
The trick with this workout is to keep your remote handy and pause often so that you can do the exercises with proper form at a slower tempo. Even if you don't feel like hitting the pause button, you can still get a great workout by doing slightly fewer reps in the ammount of time alotted, focusing on form and working in a safe range of motion. You'll still be sore the next day, just not hobbled.
In sum, I like this workout, but I would NOT recommend it for the novice exerciser. The risk of injury is just too great if you don't know how to modify the exercises to workout safely. In fact, I'm amazed that I never injured myself doing this workout as a teenager! But if you understand proper form and you don't mind doing the exercises at a slower tempo than Cindy, you can really get a lot out of this DVD.
