Thanks to all the other reviewers who wrote in such glowing, thoughtful reviews of this video. This feedback, combined with the advice of the Collage video sales consultant convinced me to order the video (even with the US exchange rate of over $1.53 Canadian to each US dollar!). I only have one other strength training video (Rachel McLish's 1995 video), but I prefer this one, hands down. The workout is advanced - challenging to say the least. I've used weight machines in the gym, but never used a barbell. So, I began with only 15 pounds. I did the video for my first time this morning and enjoyed it. You can really feel the muscles working - heaven help me tomorrow and the next day when the soreness really sets in.

I do have pain behind the knee cap, and was unable to do lunges off the step. For now, I do them on the floor and it is plenty hard enough.

Instructor Comments:
She offers plenty of encouragement without being overly chatty. Her cuing is excellent and she knows her physiology. She is very petite but buffed!
