Summary: Absolutely amazing
Comment: I finished doing this video for the first time exactly one minute ago, so I can't testify yet for long-term results. However, I have to say that I found it amazing. I have knee problems, and I liked to see that Kathy Kaehler not only made sure that each exercise (especially lunges, squats, hamstring stretches) was done in a way safe for the knees, but she repeatedly reminded me of the proper ankle-knee alignment.
I love floor leg work, and this is the most intensive I've ever experienced. It might not be as good for flexibility as Pilates, but it's also not jerky or bouncy -- just a steady variety of leg lifts that get your thighs and [...] burning in no time. (Yes, I was also frustrated with Claudia for not feeling the pain the way I was. Then again, she probably feels that pain every day.) Even the inner thigh lifts, if you really try to lift your leg high, produce an immediate effect.
The video is odd because you hear mostly Kaehler's lower, softer voice giving instructions, counts, and tips, with a few of the main instructions and encouragements from Schiffer. I kind of liked it though.

Summary: Love it - wish it were on DVD!!!
Comment: I have owned this tape for 10 years - bought it from a Newport News catalogfor $10 at the time. MAN do I wish I had been doing it for the past 10 years!! Now 38, I am really feeling the "approaching 40" expansion of my hips & thighs; and was devastated when I measured and found that my THIGHS were the size my WAIST was when I was 23. Boy does that suck.
So, I dragged this tape out with not very high expectations. I have been doing it roughly twice a week for about a month and a half. Lo & behold I have taken about an inch off of my hips & thighs, and my calves are quickly retoning themselves. I have much more energy as a result.
While following the tape, you may find yourself cursing out Ms Schiffer and Ms Kaehler (particularly when you realize neither of them are sweating, huffing or puffing one quarter the amount you are), but stick with it - you will not be sorry. I recently added the suggested ankle weights - completely worth the extra effort!
I really wish that all 4 of her workouts were on one DVD. I'd really like to give the others a try.

Summary: Solid workout for thighs and hips
Comment: This workout burns the side thighs and hips very nicely! The rhythm of the counting was off way too frequently, and that was distracting, but I now just turn down the volume so I follow the visual and count on my own. Three sets of ten for most exercises, easy enough. Doing the hamstring lifts are so much more efficient with added ankle weights, as they suggest. And I am sorry the stretching is so brief. I pause the tape to do a deeper stretch while I'm heated up so I can keep my muscles long.
I do like the exercises in this program, and they are effective. Though the tape isn't perfect, the burn is worth my time.

Summary: Get sleek, sexy, and shapely legs! I did!
Comment: I am a big fan of this tape. The moves are simple but effective and you will feel the burn. Doing these exercises along with cardio will get you results. My previously chunky legs are so beautiful. There is no chatty instructor. Kathy Kaehler, the trainer, will briefly show you how to do the exercises, and then you just hear counting, brief tips from Kathy and Claudia is shown in several different frames doing the exercise. The style of the video is kind of artsy, but nothing is too distracting not even the music.
You start out with a brief warm-up with includes plies and a few standing lunges along with stretches. Then the first segment includes squats and lunges. You do 3 sets with 10 repetitions of each. I could stand for a few more reps of lunges, hence the four stars instead of five.
The next segment entails hamstring curls and calf raises. (You use a chair for balance and leg weights are optional. You will still feel the burn without them.) In total you actually do 6 sets of calf raises with, three sets are slow and the other three are pulsing with 15 reps each. You change the position of your feet with each set (toes pointed out, in and then neutral.) Then you do three sets of hamstring curls. To end this segment you stretch the muscles you just worked.
The final segment is done on the floor and you can use optional leg weights and a mat. You do leg lifts and kicks to work your inner and outer thighs. You alternate between a set of slow repetitions and pulses for 3 sets each. This segment really burns. Ouch! But your legs will look so nice. You finish with a nice soothing stretch.
Overall this is very effective workout which I highly recommend! :)

Summary: This Tape Works!
Comment: I love reviews becuase it is real people talking about their experiences and I find them very helpful. Over the winter I put on a few pounds, especially in the hip and thigh area. I tried everything and got very frustrated. I started this tape and saw great results in only 2 weeks. My jeans started to hang on me and I felt great. It is easy to follow, not boring, and you have no annoying person trying to motivate you. Some of the reviews say Claudia looks awkward in some of the moves. I agree, but believe it is because she is tall, with long legs. I love the location and music. Try this one and I don't think you will be dissappointed.
