DVD Reviews of Crunch - Cardio Dance Blast
DVD Review: Awesomely and intensely irritating
Summary: 1 Stars
This dance dvd is just so annoying on so many levels, I don't know where to start. But I'll compare it to other dance fitness DVDs I have and hope it helps you make a decision.
I've got Marie Forleo's Prevention Dance Yourself Thin - she's really great in that - explains the steps clearly and is pleasant and encouraging. My only criticism of that DVD is that it is a tad slow and you spend a lot of time marching rather than repeating the steps over and over - you have to do it yourself to work up a sweat. But she's very pleasant and doesn't shout at you in this one. There are maybe 4 backup dancers who aren't distracting but help you follow the steps.
So I bought the Crunch Cardio Dance Blast thinking, based on other reviews, that it would be a great workout and as I liked Marie, was looking forward to it. But I find with this one, she's totally different - she shouts "that was awesome" just so many times ,she tells you to "crack it, uh-huh" ( whatever that means!), she squeals quite a bit, she rushes through the steps (yes, you can rewind and replay but still, it's annoying) and the steps are just not much fun. I couldn't believe it was Marie because she is just so different. Also, there are about 7-8 backup dancers who look like they're at a party (one looks like she is high on illicit substance) , they are distracting and it just makes the screen look so busy. They hoot and holler too, and are not that helpful if you can't follow the steps.
It's like this Crunch DVD is aimed at a slightly younger audience -( I'm in my thirties) with all the "attitude", the squeals, shouting and "whoo-hoos". I wouldn't mind so much if the dance steps themselves were effective, but they're not very interesting and I've barely gone through the complete routine. After becoming familiar with the steps, maybe I've done it twice in a month ... and even then I need to turn the sound down so I don't hear all the squeals.
If you're new to fitness dance DVDs, like I was, and don't know which to get or who is good, then I suggest the Crunch Fat Burning Dance Party and 10 Minute Solutions dvds with Jennifer Galardi. She is a much better instructor - the moves are fun and entertaining and she is not at all annoying, kinda cute the way she encourages you with the steps. While others have said her steps are hard to follow, it's just a matter of watching, rewinding, doing it in slow motion until you have it. I've never done any dance before in my life and have picked up the steps easily enough. You do work out a sweat with those ones.
So this one just makes my blood pressure rise and it's no surprise that I do not recommend it. Marie's other - the Prevention one, is good for beginners, but not terribly vigorous , whereas the Jennifer Galardi dvds are fantastic.
