The Firm: Better Buns & Body (aka Better Buns)

Jennifer Peluso, Jen Carman, Taber Bruner
Year Released: 2000

Categories: Lower Body Strength


This video has been described in detail already, so I'll just give my overall opinion. I think this workout is fabulous! I love the tall box press combined with the tall box climb; it doesn't even bother me to keep picking up my weights and putting them back down again. I am a bit confused that there are two or three segments that don't use weights (I think two sets of lunges, and floorwork); some days I add weights anyway, some days I'm thankful I don't need to use them! Even though this workout is only 45 minutes, it's pretty fast paced so I still feel like I'm getting a full workout (I'm a brat, I'm used to doing a full hour!). I highly recommend this video, it's both entertaining and effective.

Instructor Comments:
Jennifer Carmon is my second favorite Firm instructor, next to Tracie Long, so I was ecstatic that she leads (or co-leads?) this workout. She is in excellent shape, and her personality is upbeat throughout the workout. I didn't like Peluso the first time I did this workout, I don't know if it was her voice or the fact that she's almost too thin, but after several dozen workouts, she grew on me! I'm indifferent about Taber, I think she's fine as an instructor, I just can't rave about her like I can Carmon!
