The Method: Precision Sculpting

Jennifer Kries
Year Released: 1997

As has been mentioned, this video uses light weights (no more than 5 lbs.) for upper body sculpting, and no weights for the lower body. It is a 45-minute routine. According to the video cover, using this video will give you long, lean muscles without adding bulk. I definitely agree with Annie S. in that you have to really listen to Jennifer instruct and follow her form exactly. Otherwise, the exercises won't be effective. I had a difficult time remembering to squeeze my inner thighs and glutes for the entire workout. I prefer to use heavier weights for faster, more visible results, and I prefer to isolate the muscle that I am working. But if it is the lean look you are seeking, you may want to give this one a try.

The set is mansion-like with plants and white columns. There is quiet instrumental music in the beginning of the tape, but when the instruction begins the music stops. The tape is recorded in EP.

Instructor Comments:
Jennifer is very precise with her cuing. She wants to make sure you understand the proper form for the exercises. She does not mirror you with her cuing, though, which is prevalent in the Method series. She has a very business-like demeanor.
