Crunch - Ass and Abs

OK, first - I did try to do the Crunch - Burlesque and the Crunch - World Wild Dancing Extravaganza, or whatever the hell it was called but the first one was RIDICULOUS.  It was Crunch Los Angeles, natch, and the trainer kept mentioning how SEXY everything was, because they were in LA.  At one point, she said that they were in the greatest, sexiest city - California!  Someone must have waved a map at her because shortly after she giggled and said "L.A.".  Oy.  I still was going to do it, such is my dedication to this blog project, but it was so stupid.  It was not a workout.  I gave up after about 10 minutes.  Then the Dancing thing was just silly and I didn't feel like it was going to be a good workout.

I used to go to some dance classes at my gym - Hip Hop Funk, for example, but it's different at home.  It's harder and I find absolutely no joy in it.  Plus I really hated that dumb girl who didn't know the difference between cities and states.

SO.  I did Ass and Abs, which was the same girl from San Fransisco that we worked out with the other day, she's fine.  It's a hard workout though, I am still sort of sore and shaky.  She does the lower body part first and then you do some ab work - mostly planks and oblique crunches and reverse crunches - there are no regular just crunches anymore, I find.  But I think it's because these really are better workouts to do - they are better for your whole abs and your back.  Still, hard.

Um.  This was hard.  I am still a little shaky.  I went out last night and drank some wine and I was DRAGGING as a result.  I was thinking, maybe I shouldn't drink wine if it's going to make these workouts so much harder.  Then I thought maybe I shouldn't work out if I am going to drink wine, which is just the way that I think, ha!

I liked the trainer, I don't know who she was but she was from "Crunch!  In San Fransisco!  And she loved to workout!  And you should love it too!"  You get the picture.  She had some fine looking people behind her working out, the same ones from the last crunch video that I did.

This was like the 30 Day Shred, or the Cardio Sculpt workout that Chris Freytag does but a little more intense.  I used two pounds of weights and sometimes three, which was fine by me.  I could get to a point where five would be fine, I'm sure, but it wasn't today.  It's a bunch of SHORT circuits, cardio and strength.  She talks about form a lot and she is perky but not annoyingly so.  Not annoying to me, anyway.

I like these Crunch workouts and it's a good thing, because it looks like there are several more to come!  I hope nothing changes after the new year, but we'll see.
