Standing Legs is a workout that I actually fear. I know it is effective, but it is SO hard. I am an advanced exerciser, and often I don't find Tough Tape too challenging (due to the fact that the maximum dumbbell wts I own are a set of 12 lbs). I find SL to be hard each and every time. It is all those leg presses and lunges! My heart rate even gets up, and the workout really makes me sweat. The great thing about SL is it is so hard, it really pushes me when other tapes can't. The not-great thing is that I really have to psyche myself up to do the workout. And it lacks that "fun" factor to get me to do it for any reason other than reshaping my legs. I would like to do the workout more, but I am not known for my discipline. Sometimes when I am very motivated, I will combine SL with the Upper Body tape, plus some abs. That is one great workout!

Instructor Comments:
The instructors in Standing Legs are pretty good. I prefer Susan Harris, Jayne Poyteet and LaReine Chabut. I am less crazy about the instructing of Janet Jones Gretsky and Sandahl Bergman.
