Although this dvd has been reviewed quite a bit, I thought I would add a current review. This dvd stands the test of time for me. This is an extremely thorough lower body strength routine that will never leave my collection. On top of that, it’s short! The exercises have already been broken down, so I will just post my thoughts. I thought overall that the workout was extremely thorough, maybe a bit overkill on the quads (did we really need another round of squats and lunges?), and I liked that it worked one muscle group while the other rested. Cathe was encouraging and joking throughout. I liked at the end when she asked for a count and nobody knew, Cathe says something along the lines of, “You’re supposed to be helping me here!” It was awesome!

What I Liked

LOVED that the one muscle group worked while the other rested. Great alternating. When I felt my quads couldn’t take it anymore, we would switch to working the hamstrings and calves.

What I Didn’t Like

A bit too much quad work compared to hamstrings, calves, and inner thighs. But not by much. Additionally, I don’t feel that the warm up was adequate at ALL.

What You Should Be Aware Of

Those with tweaky knees, be aware there is tons of squats, lunges, low ends, pulses, etc. of that ilk here. However, my knees are tweaky, and I didn’t have a problem with this routine. Oh, and some people don't like pulses and low ends. Run away from this if that is the case; every exercise has them :)

Instructor Comments:
Cathe is professional, funny, and encouraging throughout the entire series. Her enthusiasm is contagious!
