A mat or rug and bare feet are highly recommended for the Pilates floorwork. .com "Calorie burning cardio plus Pilates-based toning," promises this 40-minute Crunch program, which combines Pilates-influenced standing and mat exercises. In the cardio section, instructor Ellen Barrett uses Pilates terminology (e.g. "standing imprint") as she adapts Pilates moves to rather repetitious standing exercises--mostly squats and leg lift variations--which work the core muscles of the abdominals and back as well as legs, thighs, and buttocks. The moves are sometimes slow and rarely "travel," so your heart rate might not stay elevated, although your lower body and core muscles will get a good workout. The toning section consists of Pilates mat exercises which work abs, back, thighs, and buttocks. One exerciser demonstrates easier modifications. The background music is dominated by a lively drummer who keeps the workout upbeat and enthusiastic. --Joan Price ## Images ![Crunch - Fat Burning Pilates - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41jAXiaHFPL.jpg) ![Crunch - Fat Burning Pilates - Image 2](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71LwzRMyYiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stands the test of time - So many things to like about this workout *by S***D on Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2017* I know everyone wants something different in a workout, but I wanted to write that this is my favorite workout DVD. I've tried others, but no other has truly stuck as much as this one has over the years. I first purchased it when I was 22 (a hard copy), and I'm 32 now and own the digital version. I guess I love it so much I bought it twice. :) Although I try to mix it up, I feel best when I do this workout at least once a week. Ellen does a great job of explaining things simply but effectively, so much so I believe anyone can follow and get it the first time through, and even improve after a few more. I love that this feels like both a workout and a stretching session, which relieves tension rather than creates more. Lots of squats and the arms are always very active in every element. Contrary to other reviews, I do break a sweat every time!..even as my fitness level has gradually improved over the years. The moves are basic and may even fool you into thinking they are "easy" and not worth your time the first time around. I have to humbly disagree. I have been able to maintain definition in my abs and arms, and I don't do much besides walking on the treadmill in addition to this. For reference, I would say I have an average level of fitness; I'm on my feet a lot but don't naturally get more than 4,000 steps per day unless I make a concerted effort. (For further reference, I trained for a 5K a few short months ago for the first time and ran it in 31 minutes.) I'm 5'5" and fluctuate between 122-125 pounds. My least fit area has always been my core, and this workout targets it in practically every move. I'm also a terrible breather (hence the 10 minute miles?), so I appreciate the focus on the breath in this workout. I'm so glad I discovered this DVD ten years ago and am grateful it continues to be a workout staple for me. Thanks for a true gem, Ellen/Crunch! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pleasant surprise *by J***G on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2018* I have been collecting some of Ellen's older DVDs and was really pleasantly surprised by this one. Typically I feel Ellen's workouts are a bit easy on the legs, but this one worked the lower body nicely. It seemed faster paced than some of her other cardio DVDs, which I really liked as well. I am 55 and had no trouble following along without need for modification with one exception (Pilates single leg switch which I always do with the upper leg bent). I consider myself intermediate fitness. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite work out DVD!! *by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2012* I'm new to Pilates, and to working out in general. I'm not quite overweight - I'm 5'4" and started at 145lbs about a month ago, now I'm down 7lbs due to doing this video most days of the week and counting calories. I'm eating a healthy amount of calories with the goal of losing 1-2lbs a week, but I was finding it was hard to stick to my calorie level without exercise. Doing this workout, and sometimes adding in about 20 minutes of some extra low impact cardio, like hula hooping while watching TV, allows me to eat a bit more and still lose weight. This is a GREAT workout! I was NOT fit at all when I started using this video - the first few times I did not make it all the way through at all. There are quite a bit of squats that just exhausted my legs. But my body quickly adapted, and my muscles got stronger after only a few times of doing the workout. The cardio is good - it's not so strenuous that I felt like I needed to take a break at the beginning, but I most certainly break a sweat, even a month later, and I do this video at least 5 times a week now. I also feel my abs getting stronger - I love that the ab moves have enough repetitions to have an effect, but just when you start to feel like you're about to give up, it's over and you're onto the next move that doesn't feel as challenging, until you reach the end of the reps again. There's someone on the video who modifies a few of the mat work exercises, and I definitely modified in the beginning, but now I don't need to. I think this is a wonderful workout - the moves are fluid, there's little repetition, some of the moves allow for rest/recovery, which makes the workout feel easier to do. I've done other workouts that are only 20 minutes long (see: Jillian Michaels) and I found those harder to stick with long-term because the moves were much more strenuous. And hey, if you're pressed for time, go ahead and give those condensed workouts a try. But I found that doing a less strenuous workout for longer let me keep up with it. I'm an Ellen convert and am now buying a bunch more of her DVDs, only because I'm getting a little bored with this one. That doesn't take away from what a great video it is though!! I am looking forward to more Ellen Barrett! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/13808773-crunch-fat-burning-pilates](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/13808773-crunch-fat-burning-pilates) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
