 Best workout EVER December 15, 2008
M. Brushaber (USA)
I have done this workout since it was first released. I have bought many many workout tapes and dvds, but I have only worn out this one, twice. She includes people of all body types as workout participants with appropriate modifications for each corresponding fitness level. I did this with some modifications (had to move off of the box during the 3rd trimester and watch my heart rate) until the day before I gave birth to my first child. No matter where I am fitness wise I can always do this workout without having to worry about twisting or jumping motions that hurt my knees. You can make this workout as hard you want just by paying attention to the moving your body through mud saying Susan says. This video also introduced me to the concept of measuring inches instead of pounds. I get much more encouragement from losing inches from my body than pounds, as the pounds come off more slowly. My favorite part of this workout is when Susan says another 20 more minutes towards the end to Debbie as a joke. The look on Debbie's face mirrors what mine must have been the first time I made it all the way through this video. After having 3 boys all less than 2 years apart and falling off of the exercise wagon (I was never one of the lucky ones who could diet and breast feed at the same time), I am counting on this workout to get me back into my college jeans.

Does anyone know how I can get a copy of a 1999 or 2000 tv show of Susan Powter on a domestic violence show did in Los Angeles??

I first bought this tape when it came out 15 years ago. To this day I have yet to find a workout that makes me feel as accomplished. When I first started this workout at 23 years of age, I was at my highest weight. I thought my heart would explode by the end of the warmup. I did the lower end of her modifications (based on fitness and level of ability) and somehow got through it. Eventually I was doing the high end, with a step, and feeling fit, feeling great.
I started trying different tapes because frankly the same ol' music and faces were getting to me. I could do it blindfolded while reciting every word Susan Powter said. I looked and looked for a new workout and couldn't quite find one as compelling. The closest I came was Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds (3 miles), and it's not that close, but it is the only other one that kept me motivated.
What I love about Lean, Strong & Healthy:
-- Starts by showing the before/after photos of her workout group
-- You actually feel like you're working your muscles. You're not just sweating...you're "lifting weights" too (imagine moving through mud).
-- You can do it with or without the step and using any number of fitness or ability modifications.
-- No matter how good you get, you can always do better (kick higher, swoop lower, etc.)
-- Susan Powter's encouraging comments to just keep moving
-- Variety of weights and fitness levels of video participants
-- Just the right amount of time: 45 minutes
-- Complicated enough not to be boring, but not so complicated that you give up.
-- It helped me lose over 30 pounds!
What I don't like:
-- Doing standing stretches at the end of the session is disappointing. I really feel I deserve to sit down to stretch.
-- Music is cheap and repetitive.
-- It's not sold on DVD!!! Boo hoo!

I'll join in the chorus. I have always LOATHED exercising. I was a 'heavy boy' and when I got to college, I determined to be 'thin.'
Not knowing exactly what I was doing, the combination of being twenty, eating salads twice a day, walking all over campus, etc. did it. I went down to 175 at my lowest.
Then, over the years, the weight gradually crept back. I found Susan's tape after we were married, and I liked her very positive manner, and did the routine, and 'modified.' Actually, I got pretty good with it, and the results were almost instantaneous.
Then we had kids, and it was THEIR needs. Now I find, at 'my age,' I look like I did when I was 15. I thought to buy this DVD for a summer of Doctoral study, and exercise away from the kids, doing it EVERY DAY, and lo, it's not available!! Grrrr.
I don't care. I am going to buy a portable VHS player, and hook it into the dorm tv. I like Susan's personality, her encouraging manner, and that there REALLY are OTHER 'fat people' doing this, as well as the type/volume of music. I cannot ABIDE the thumping, driving 'music' used in most exercise videos these days, I'm not trying to be a piece of meat in a bar, just to be healthy for my kids and my wife, TYVM!
Susan, I don't know why you disappeared, but these videos, their total package, their motivational factors, have kept coming back to you, even ten years later. God bless you!
Love this workout March 14, 2007

I wish this workout was on dvd, I have burned through 3 copies already. I am an exercise video junkie, if it's been made I probably have it, but this video is my ultimate favorite. It's inspiring and a great workout.
