Buns of Steel

Greg Smithey
Year Released: 1991

Categories: Lower Body Strength


The video is from 1987, so the clothes and music are very outdated and unintentionally amusing. The students are very varied in appearance and body size. It was encouraging to see some of them struggling a bit with some exercises and joking with the instructor to hurry up and move on to the next exercise. Most importantly, the exercises are extremely effective. I felt a difference after just the first time. The warm-up and abdominal exercises aren't very challenging, but the leg and buns exercises are great! They may be a bit difficult for a beginner, but I started out with fewer reps and built up to the number of reps that Greg and his students do.

Instructor Comments:
Greg makes lots of cheesy comments and jokes, but he is also very encouraging. I find many video instructors intimidating in their perfection, and he's very normal (if a bit nerdy) and non-threatening. He also does a good job of explaining how to do each exercise and makes everything very easy to pick up.
