Others have already broken down the workout extensively, so I will just post my overall impressions. I think that this is a good workout for someone that is looking to increase lower body definition and strength. However, there were some parts that were lacking. I don’t feel that the hamstrings, calves, or inner thighs were worked hard enough. Additionally, I felt that the quads were worked a bit too much. There was not much variation in the exercises – front lunge, back lunge, squat, hover squat, tall box climbs, and side raises. Sooo many tall box climbs! Which wouldn’t be bad if there had been more hamstring and inner thigh work. However, since this workout is culled from Firm Volumes 1-6, it wasn’t possible to include additional exercises that weren’t provided in those volumes.
I know this has been compared to Cathe’s Leaner Legs a lot, and I can definitely see the comparison. However, I believe that Cathe edges out Standing Legs, simply because it has everything this one has (except for leg abductions) plus extensive plie squats, deadlifts, and several sets of calf raises. It also overdoes lunges and comes in under 40 minutes, not including ab work.

What I Liked

The music, the elaborate set, the tall box climbs, the 80’s cheesiness of it all. I also liked that there were some upper body exercises included to give this workout a cardio effect. I also really liked the calf raises off the tall step, but there were only two sets of those. I am pleasantly sore!

What I Didn’t Like

In some parts it seemed that the instructor moved a bit too fast. I believe it was a section with just straight lunges, not the lunges going into a squat. As, as I mentioned, I wish they would have included more variety in the exercises –more for the inner thighs, hamstrings, and calves.

What to Watch Out For

Keep your weights handy, because there are some spots where they transition quickly. If you don't include upper body work, it is easier to stay with the same weights you have for legs. If you have tweaky knees, there is a lot of tall box work, so be prepared to adjust your weight or your step. No ab work included, so you are on your own!

Instructor Comments:
I liked each of the instructors a lot. I was not distracted by the heavy breathing or the cleavage haha! I thought some more form pointers could have been given, and sometimes there was no mirror cueing, but other than that, the instructions were fine.
