My general impression of this tape is that it is a good leg tape for a light day. It is a nice change of pace from the Firm, Cathe or gym leg workout. Keli incorporates the BodyBar with all the exercises.

The workout consists of a long warm-up which uses variations of squats and lunging side to side, toe raises, body roll-ups and upper body reaches. The workout consists of various lunges with the BodyBar held behind you; you do regular lunges (forward stepping) and then you add a rear leg lift to it. You do a great exercise where you stand with one leg behind you and lift the rear leg up and down with the Bar behind you; this requires balance and it works the supporting leg even more than the moving leg. There is an excellent series for the inner thighs, where you have the feet in a wide second position and do half-squats or demi-plies, and then you start to move the squat from side to side while dragging one leg in. You do a lot of variations of those. In between each exercise is a set of the wide half-squats. You are holding the Bar the whole time. There is a series of lunges with upper body twists; first to the front, then to the side, then alternating front and side. You are holding the Bar up at chest level for these. There are also several sets of deadlifts and some calf raises. There is a basic stretch/cool-down at the end with good music.

All in all, I liked most of the workout. I always feel a bit worried about doing front lunges. So far my knees are fine but I just don't trust those front lunges. If you aren't a lunge person, then skip this tape or do the lunges by stepping back or stationary. The lunges with the upper body twist also felt a bit awkward to me, not because I had trouble doing them, but because they just didn't feel like a natural movement. The whole tape is about 30 minutes long, so it's good for a quick lower body workout.

Keli is great, as always. She is a terrific instructor with a nice personality. In this tape, she is serious and not chatty. She looks great with her blonde haircut and is in excellent condition. I really like her voice and accent. Keli has been one of my favorites since the Cher tape. Any video that she does is a winner.
