In this release designed specifically to turn that spare tire into a six-pack, master trainer Tracy York leads an energizing workout specifically targeting the stomach area. A circuit-based cardio routine starts gets the entire body burning calories, and a five minute, aerobics segment tones and shape the abs. For those who want to get results but struggle to find the time to exercise, a twelve-minute total body blitz offers just the solution needed to keep the heart healthy and blast that pesky fat. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

It's been said that the hardest part about beginning a new fitness regimen is simply getting started and staying on track. This video is designed to help those new to a workout program get solid results fast and stay with the plan to get the most out of it. 7 Day Solution features exercise instructor and author Johnny Bowden, who demonstrates two special workouts (the Ultimate Calorie Burner Workout and the Tone and Firm Workout) as well as a 7-Day Custom Diet Plan, which, when used as instructed, will help users lose weight, gain muscle, and develop the fitter body they've been hoping for. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This 35-minute, mixed-impact video offers high-intensity, minute-long intervals called "power bursts." Like many of Crunch's workouts, the 25-minute aerobic section is divided into four parts (those few seconds between each segment are great opportunities for quick water breaks). Each section has its own choreography and its own "power burst." But the bubbly instructor, Tracy York, keeps things moving at such an energetic pace that the contrast between the regular choreography and the power bursts isn't all that big. While this somewhat minimizes the benefit of interval training -- it's supposed to create an aerobic/anaerobic combination that burns fat more effectively -- it certainly makes for a sweat-inducing workout. York overflows with enthusiasm, and her cuing is great. And while her group of exercises is all young, glowing and in great shape (a frequent feature of the Crunch series), this should not be intimidating for those without perfect bodies -- the choreography is very easy to grasp. Although the moves are basic enough for someone who's just starting to learn aerobics -- there are a lot of grapevines, and York talks the exerciser through mambos and box steps -- the energy level is closer to intermediate. This tape is best for those who already have some familiarity with aerobics and who want to intensify their workouts, or for those who have been using cardio machines (treadmills, stairmasters, etc.) for a while and are looking for a new challenge. ~ Janiss Garza, Rovi
