Each area of the thigh and butt (inner, outer, hamstring) is worked with a set of squats in between. This a a tape in which you will truly feel the burn.

My only complaint are the lunges done at the end of the tape. Since I am not as strong I had to struggle to maintain proper support. The tape can also be made more difficult with the addition of ankle weights.

All in all a good bargain but watch your knees.


I'd say this is not just for beginners   September 9, 2001

I have this tape, and while it is one of my easier lower body tapes, I feel it still challenges me. I use a Spri rubber exercise band instead of the ankle weights and feel it is tougher by pulling for resistance, rather than a weighted leg. I also use heavy weights during the squat sections. Every leg exercise is separated with a series of squats. At the end of the routine, you do each exercise a 2nd time. Then at the very end, you do 2 sets of 10 lunges, but with those you use plyometrics and switch your legs in mid air. I often use my heavy weights and just do stationary lunges instead, then switch legs on the 2nd set.

I don't have to do much to make this workout harder--just add weights to the squats and do the lunges different. The rest is as tough or as light as you want it to be, but not just great for beginners.

This Tamilee web video is a great workout. I picked up this video because I am gym shy and want to gain some strength and flexibility, along with good workout habits to build up the nerve to join a gym. She provides excellent advice for the novice especially about technique. The workout is less than 30 minutes but it is easy to follow, including the warm up and cool down. There is useful advice for both beginners (use a chair for support) and for more intermediate users (ankle weights and resistance).
