DVD Reviews of Crunch - Fat Burning Dance Party
DVD Review: Pure dance workout
Summary: 4 Stars
Mix this workout with other workouts that keep your heart rate higher, it is purely an invitation to the dance. In particular, people like me who are past 50 and in good health are encouraged by experts to maintain and increase weight training, and this video provides none. I suppose you can add hand weights but my experience teaches me that this can cause painful injury.
Aesthetically, it's not great: Jennifer looks terrific on the cover but forgot to wash her hair on the day the video was made.
Other reviewers decry the way old Jen teaches tacky dance moves. However, a neglected part of aerobics, in my view, is the ability to gracefully follow instructions and learn a step: many people, especially men, who'd benefit from aerobics avoid it because literally they cannot follow commands to do things with their body: they have no experience in it (military service counts: in it you learn your left foot from your right: but in this age of the chicken-hawk, poor and lower middle class people make up the bulk of the trainees).
Personally, I like the way she breaks down tacky dance steps. Sure, they were improvised on Argentine wharves and San Francisco gay bars by out-groups and as such it's a bit of a lie to "teach" them: but in my view, it build psychological and physical health to learn them and keep a straight face.
The rock group Franz Ferdinand says it formed itself to play music for the girls to dance to. These aerobics disks are heavily biased towards women's needs, but there is a token guy (as well as a diversity of body types, including an exceptionally graceful fat girl who can shake quite a lot of "thing"). In an era in which a man can't dance unless he is learning how to kill, I find these cheesy and marginal tapes both eye candy (despite the lack of shampoo) and useful as part of a broad-based exercise plan.
Any coach who insists that you "must" keep your heart rate up above a threshhold is ignoring, I think, the aesthetics of exercise. I realize that the school can hardly teach physical education, and as such teaching, in PE, grace of movement is a nonstarter. But the result is the Trogdolyte of the city who knows he's been cheated out of Prometheus' legacy, and takes out his hatred in fundamentalism.
Gym philosophy, in my experience, has followed a dialectical curve: in the Fifties, it was a shadowland of homophobia and closet cases. The Sixties, in the New Games and early aerobics movement, said that all movement was good even if, perhaps especially if, you weren't puking at the finish.
Then, the commercialization of the phenomenon, and the unspeakable Schwarzenegger, dialectically returned gymnosophism to the shadowlands, a world in which only marginal characters feel at home, because the commodification has reified so many new categories of gym rats that people are afraid anew of transgression: women don't want to be "too" muscular, and male gym rats don't want to be "twinks".
Missing is of course freedom once again.
Plan Nine from Outer Space is to insist on being marginal.
