This is a keeper! Weights III is a total body weight workout....and it is not easy. Fran uses 5 lb weights throughout the video, but because of the slow reps, you can use *much* heavier weight. (I even used my barbell for the leg work) The workout is a "circuit style" workout. The first half of the workout is standing work (leg and upper body work), and then she moves to the floor for chest and ab work.

Most of the exercises are done in reps of 12, and Fran uses a much slower speed than many of the other videos on the market. I LOVED that! I would use this video as a slow/heavy workout to alternate with my endurance workouts.

I think much has been said about the production quality of this video. I did not think it was that bad. It did not take anything away from the workout, and I found Fran to be very pleasant.

If you are looking for a fancy set, thumping music, and lots of "woo-ing", this video is not for you. If you are looking for an effective weight training video...I highly recommend this one. Some day I will rid myself of these squirrel arms.....

Instructor Comments:
I thought Fran was very pleasant and gives great form pointers. She knows what she is talking about.
