I won't go into great detail about the workout itself as some other people have done an excellent job of it already. Just want to add that this video is a completely different workout than her previous Weights II in that it is a circuit workout. The first half is all standing work that gives you a great upper and lower body workout. The participants use 5 lb. dumbells but the pace is definitely slow enough to increase or decrease the weight as needed. The second half has you laying on the floor doing pushups, abs, & chest. Fran has put lots of variety into this workout so you are constantly changing exercises. I really liked this approach because I could concentrate on my form alot better for each exercise. The music in the background is very low and slow. The set is very plain and not fussy. I really like this tape alot and think it's a terrific pure weight workout. I'm sure it will become one of my favorites. Oh, and the background exercisers were "real" women. They were very fit but not skinny. I like to workout with tapes that have realistic body types that I can strive to be like. But Fran is in fabulous shape in this tape. She was in good shape in her previous tapes but is in excellent shape in Weights III. Would give it a grade A!

Instructor Comments:
Fran is a very down to earth & likeable instructor. She gives very good form pointers throughout her videos and is always very encouraging. She has a very soothing voice and manner that makes it a pleasure to work out with her.
