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

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

Categories: Lower Body Strength


I nearly passed this one by. After reading the reviews I decided that this was an "easy" Firm workout, and I seek tapes which will challenge me - otherwise, why bother? I got this tape through one of the Firm's quantity discount deals. It was a freebie. I figured I could always trade it if I didn't like it.

After doing Better Buns several times, I've decided that it's definitely a keeper.

While I consider this tape to be easier than Cathe's PS Lower Body tape and the Firm's Standing Legs and Lower Body Split tapes, Better Buns is by no means a walk in the park. It's the perfect tape for those days I balk at doing a lower body workout (not my favorite thing to do) and yet want to feel I've put my time in toward strengthening my abs and lower body. I seldom characterize lower body workouts as "fun," but I feel Better Buns is one of the most fun strength workouts I've ever done.

My only complaint has to do with the upper body work. It's so paltry that you may as well skip it.
