Rating:  - OUCH!!!! I SWEAR BY THIS TAPE!
I found this video in college after gaining weight my freshman year. (I rented it from the local library) After a summer of doing this, I was back to high school skinny! I am buying another copy, as the tracking on my last copy is horrible now. I hate doing this video (my sister even pulled her groin the first time she did it) it is rough, so take it EASY, but nothing works better! I have countless videos and DVD's, and this is the only one that I swear by. It is old and awful, but EFFECTIVE!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!
Rating:  - Dated or retro still a great workout.
After using it for 11 years, this is still one of my favourite workouts. Of course, everything you've heard about the dated 80s look (complete with headbands and legwarmers) the bad music and the hosts goofy sense of humour is true. But you can always turn down the sound and play your own music. Even if it's dated, I still like it for the following reasons: the host gives excellent directions and it's easy to keep up, the opening cardio section is challenging but low-impact. The floor routine that follows will burn every muscle in your legs and booty, but contains some stretching and yoga that kills the pain. Beginners won't get lost, advanced will still feel the burn, and when it does, eventually, get easier - do what I did - add leg weights.
My only criticism of the video is the crunch section. I like to go more slowly with crunches and carefully guard my neck position. So when I get to that section I usually turn it of and pop in an Abs of Steel instead.

THE PRICE WAS RIGHT. THE TAPE DOES HAVE SOME TRACKING PROBLEMS. WE TOOK A CHANCE BUYING USED, AND DON'T FEEL LIKE WE GOT RIPPED-OFF.
Rating: - It works
I love this video. While losing my 63 pds. of "baby" fat I worked out to this video. It's fun...and covers more areas than the buns. I've worked out with other tapes, and even bought a weight machine. All of them are dusty.I keep coming back to this video... because it works.
Rating: - Excellent Workout! Jill Fleming, MS, RD of Thin Choices
I have been teaching weight loss classes for over 12 years. I am always reviewing & recommending videos for my clients. This video is my absolute favorite. You don't have to learn dance moves or even be coordinated to do these exercises, yet you will get a great workout. I still continue to do this video once per week (in addition to walking) to stayed toned. I do believe that this video deserves most of the credit for the fact that I do not have cottage cheese puckers on the back of my legs at the age of 37. Greg's outdated outfit and his goofy comments make me laugh... bonus, laughing is great for the abs!
