Rating: Summary: Wonderful workout Review: This workout video was great. It's always hard to find a workout that you enjoy and can stick to. I love this one. I FELT skinnier the day after I used it and I felt the results. It was great. I would definitely recommend this DVD.
Rating: Summary: Tamilee at her best! Review: I was getting to a point where Tamilee's Buns of Steel Quick Toning series wasn't even making me break a sweat anymore, and since I'm a huge Tamilee fan, I decided to try out I Want That Body! on DVD. I am absolutely thrilled with it! The workouts are squarely targeted and fun, you can unmistakably feel your muscles working, and it really gets your endorphins flowing. The workouts are only 15 minutes apiece so there's no excuse not to do them.The beginner's workouts are a challege even for me, the advanced workouts are absolutely killer, and you can advance smoothly from the former to the latter simply by using bigger handweights. Having the programs on DVD makes it easy to access the workouts you want in any order you want, instantly. Most people will skip past the "science of fitness" segments, but I actually found them very interesting (being the big science geek that I am). It's great to see a fitness instructor who's so intelligent (she's got a master's degree!) producing such an excellent video. Not to mention that this DVD combines all the programs from the Abs, Arms, and Buns videos, which makes it a terrific deal and a space-saver. I highly recommend this DVD!
Rating: Summary: BEST WORKOUT VIDEO IVE EVER DONE! Review: I really wasn't too sure about getting this one..... I had no clue who she was but I thought what the heck... it sounded good. I'm so glad I did! I honestly can say that I love this video... everything about it. Instructions are clear and wonderful, it's focused completely on making sure you have the right form and you do the exercises right, and you WORK those muscles. There is not any time wasted..... just getting in shape. My muscles burned after all of these workouts. And once I get good at the fist 15 min workouts for the abs, arms, and buns, I can move on to a more difficult one for each of them! Honestly the best workout investment I've ever made.
Rating: Summary: A Brilliant Way to Work Out Review: I already owned a couple of Tamilee's Quick Toning videos and worried that the exercises covered on this DVD would be just a shuffling around and re-editing of those, but was happy to discover that she's put a lot of new (or new to me) exercises on here. The DVD is organized so that Program One for each body part is "easier" and Program Two is more difficult. I've been working out pretty faithfully with this DVD since January, and I am still amply challenged by Program One for all the muscle groups (read: I haven't dared to see what's in store for me in Program Two yet). I find that while each exercise might not be terribly difficult in itself--crunches, dumbbell presses, or lunges--the way Tamilee orders them is very challenging, especially by the second set for abs and by the second and third for the arms and buns. I do wish that there was more time spent on stretching at the end, because after the exercises, I feel like I really need it, but the Total Stretch for Beginners is excellent for that--highly recommended. Just a word about the Alternate Angle and Music Only features--I can't see where the different angle really helps me get a better picture of how to do the exercises, and the music on this DVD is nothing special. What makes this a really cool way to work out is that you can go right to the section you want, without messing around with rewind and fast-forward. And I think it's nice that instead of barking at you to do more reps, Tamilee says "4 more please. Don't give up on yourself." I think that's a lot more motivating than the drill sergeant approach.
Rating: Summary: This is a GREAT DVD!!! Review: I've been working out hard for almost 6 months and I found this dvd to be very challenging. I use dvd's in my workout almost daily, and I have a lot of them. I will have to say that this is my new favorite. Tamilee is a good instructor and the exercises really are effective. There is a lot on this dvd too. There are 3 sections (Abs, Arms, and Buns), and each section has two 16 minute segments. I've been doing the Buns workout at least twice a week and boy does it "get" your buns along with your legs too. It's a great workout. The only thing I think could be better is the arms section. I say that only because I am trying very hard to build my arms, I want definition. The speed that Tamilee goes on this section makes it impossible to use really heavy weights. But, for toning and tightening, it's a good workout. My favorite dvd before this one was the QF Total Mix (which I still love), but I'll have to say that this workout is much more intense than that one and I would highly recommend it!!!
Rating: Summary: With Tamilee, you KNOW you are working out!!! Review: I felt this DVD was a great value because it contains THREE workouts (abs, arms and buns) on one DVD plus each workout is done at 2 skill levels so you can choose how hard you want to work on a given day. Each body is different, so you might be at level 1 on one bodypart and on level 2 for another. For example, I can get through both the level 1 and 2 arms workout (with 2-pound weights) but am not even close to being able to get through the level 1 abs workout. I can get through most of the level 1 buns workout but it is kind of tough on the knees with all the lunges (then again, I am over 50 so this may not be of concern to you if you're 20 or 30). It was clear to everyone in my office that I'd done the Tamilee workout this week because I was walking gingerly! LOL You not only know you're working out WHILE you're doing it but the next day even moreso! I have a set of 2 lb. weights and a set of 8 lb. weights at home. The arms program is too easy for me with 2 lb. weights and some parts of it are too difficult for me with 8 lb. weights, so I think I will pick up a set of 4 lb. weights and that will be just right for me. I look forward to the day when I can get through the abs workout without stopping because it is REALLY challenging!
Rating: Summary: Excellent, effective workouts for your arms, abs, and buns! Review: I just received this DVD and have gone through the whole thing. It is divided into 3 workouts - Arms, Abs & Buns. Two 15 minute programs are offered for each of the three, with the second program being harder than the first. The DVD allows you to quickly select a program. A chair and hand weights are required for some of the programs. I have only had this a week and it has already replaced all of my other strength training videos. Tamilee Webb, as usual, has a very quiet and professional style which I prefer over the "cute" instructors. She reminds you about correct form, and is very easy to follow. The music in this DVD is unobtrusive. It's a very professional package and well worth the money. I have been working out for about 4 months, and consider myself to be at an intermediate level of fitness. I found the Arms segment to be quick but effective. The moves are simple, but really target the arms and shoulders. If it gets too easy - just move to a heavier set of weights. The Abs segment is also very effective. Both programs have some very difficult moves. Some of the moves are the classics, some are new. Program 2 concentrates more on the sides than Program 1, but all areas of the abs are worked in both. The Buns segment is very tough. I almost didn't even do that section. I am a serious bicyclist and don't really need to work my glutes. However, I had a tough time getting through the workout, and I really felt it the next day!
Rating: Summary: Excellent! Review: This is an excellent workout focusing on abs, arms and buns. You'll need an excercise mat, a chair, and a set of dumbells (she uses a 5-lb pair). Tamilee is serious, but not in a drill-sargeant way. She is encouraging without being annoying or cutesy. She is knowledgeable (has a Masters degree in Excercise Science). Each of the 3 sections has two 15 minute programs that begin with a rather short warm-up session( but that's okay, because I can do my own adequate warm-up/stretches before I start the DVD). The movements are easy to follow, but boy are they effective! I felt the satisfaction of a workout in my arms, abs and legs (for buns excercises) afterward. I like that Tammilee does enough reps in the video so that I don't have to rewind to do more. She reminds her viewers to keep proper form during the excercises. The only caveat is that in some parts of the DVD, Tamilee's voice is out of sync with her lips. And lastly, it is not a cardio workout (although your heart WILL feel the workout!), but then again Tammilee never claimed it to be.
Rating: Summary: Best DVD I Own! Review: I just purchased this and recently completed 3 program 1 segments (abs, buns & arms). Awesome Awesome Awesome. It's just her and she's talking quietly, nothing annoying. Best of all, the routines are easy to follow and learn, because there isn't a lot to them. I'm feeling the burn throughout my whole body and really happy that I bought this DVD. The video does offer music only, but Tamilee's voice is soothing and doesn't bother me at all (unlike many other videos!).
Rating: Summary: Great workout! Review: I just picked this video back up after taking a break. I have a few workout videos, like Tae-bo, but this is my favorite. After only 2-3 weeks of doing the Abs one, I already started to notice definition in my abs. The arms programs are a bit more frustrating for me. The tricept and shoulder exercises I feel a lot (I use very old 3.3 lb weights) but I almost never feel it in my biceps! Sometimes I will do Arms program 1 and 2 just to make sure I am working my arms out. As for the Buns, I found that Program 2 is better for me since I have knee problems. Program 1 is just squats over and over and after the first set, my knee would give out and I would do the exercises wrongly. I find I can do at least 8 out of the 12 reps in Program 2 for each exercise and still feel good when I'm done! Just doing one program from each when I exercise, and the time flies by!
