This has to be the best lower body video out there. It's 45 minutes long and all standing-- but there is some "floor type" work-- standing leg abductions and glute lifts-- and believe me, they're a great break from the endless squats, lunges and leg presses. Your heart rate will stay elevated throughout the video. The hardest section is at the end, where you do leg press with the barbell and in between sets, you work each calf, keeping the other leg up on the box, so these are burners. Then you finish with several sets of barbell hover squats. You will be finished, believe me. I can't pair this workout with any other-- it's way too tough. But some people have mentioned dreading this workout-- I look forward to it and actually love doing lower body work now whereas before I just did it because I knew I should. This video is a steal-- I got mine for $8.99 but would have paid much more for it. All the Parts videos are bargains, and this one is one of the very best.

Instructor Comments:
All the instructors are from the classic series, and all pretty good. The guest instructor, Salina, has a gorgeous, inspiring physique.
