Lean Body/Stretch Routine

Gay Gasper
Year Released: 1994

Categories: Total Body Workouts


Two good workouts and well worth the $9.00. The VERY GOOD- Gay and her friends do these exercises at a slower pace than I've seen in any other weight lifting tape including Cathe's PS series and Cory Everson's 3 way split. The so so- they only do one set of each exercise except for lunges, where they do two. Every body part is worked, and if you are going to do a half hour of weights, three times a week, this would be just the ticket. If you just did the leg or arm section and rewound for a second set, this would be harder than Kathy Smith's Secrets to... set. This wt work is about 30 minutes long, with a five minute warm up and a five minute cool down. I liked the music in this tape, it was audible and kind of rockish.

The stretch routine is around 20 minutes long and hits most body parts. I think the hip flexor stretches were uneven, did one leg longer than the other, but I could be wrong. Nothing outstanding either good or bad.

Either of these tapes would be a good buy for 9 dollars, but both of them, its a bargain. Not for you if you don't like tapes recorded in EP. If you are an intermediate on a tight budget - BUY THIS VIDEO. There is so much room to grow and it has good, basic workouts for srength and stretching. Also recommended for those of us looking for a little variety, or a short full body workout to add an additional strength day to our splits.

Instructor Comments:
Gay is a good instructor, cues well, which is the most important thing to me. She's down to earth and encouraging without being cutesy. My only criticism - who picked out those outfits, very dated only a few years later.
