Crunch: Master Class Sculpt [VHS]
Once again, Crunch has produced another terrific workout tape. An enthusiastic teacher who is wonderful at reminding you to keep your navel in and your back flat, Nancy Popp leads this sculpting class. Throughout the video, Nancy reinforces how you should be holding your body for maximum results and so you won't hurt yourself, and she's careful about explaining proper form for each of the exercises. Don't be put off by theMaster Classin the title: This is a challenging workout, however, and it is a well-rounded one that you can perform at your own pace. It's great fun, too. The 57-minute workout has three sections (plus, of course, warm-up and cool down): lower body, upper body, and abs. A set of weights is necessary for the upper-body workout. Unlike other Crunch tapes, this video has steadier camera work, so it's easier to follow the movements of the exercisers. This is definitely a tape that you'll enjoy working out to,andit will leave you happily sore the next day.--Jenny Brown
