If you are looking for variety in your weight workouts, TRY THIS TAPE! Its a killer weight training workout that focuses on muscular endurance. It feels as though you are having a personal training session with Keli. This music is hardly noticeable but I don't mind because it allows me to focus on form and the muscle I'm working.

Keli gives excellent form pointers and instruction on how to find perfect alignment. In this workout, Keli uses an Exerbar, but I easily substituted heavy dumbbells and you could probably use a barbell for some of the exercises.

There are not many reps is stated in previous reviews, so you really do have to use maximum weight for each exercise, but Keli uses different tempos so your muscles will be fatigued, for example, while doing squats, you do some reps at normal tempo, then you do a series of 4-count slow descent with 3-4 pulses at the bottom, or for bicep curls, you do regular curls, then you do 2-count curls, then she does 4 count pulses halfway up, then complete the curl. The only thing I did with regards to using dumbbells was during the second squat segment where you alternate squats with standing rear leg extensions angling your leg slightly, I used 5 lb. ankle weights for these, she doesn't tell you to do that but I was getting the same effect if I would have used the Exerbar as resistance.

Finally there is a super-tough kind of one-arm push ups where you are lying on your side, and ab work from a push-up position where you lower both knees to the floor, and then a set of regular push ups (it was a MUST by then to do these on my knees), then you repeat this on the other side, KILLER!

This is an awesome video. Worth the $24.95 price tag.

Instructor Comments:
Keli Roberts is fast becoming one of my very favorite instructors. Her instruction on this video is impeccable surpassing Karen Voight with regards to getting perfect form and alignment. Her ab work is the absolute best I've done. I hope she continues making great videos.
