When I first previewed this video I thought it would be easy and not very challenging. Wrong! The workout has you doing supersets of exercises for your quads, glutes, and hamstrings. You do 15 reps for each exercise as opposed to her upper body tape where you do fewer reps as you increase the weights. The weights increase but you still do 15 reps in this tape. (Hope that makes sense!)

The only thing I didn't like about this tape is Joyce doesn't use any weights for the floor work. I didn't feel like I was getting any benefit when I didn't use my ankle weights so now I just put them on for most of the tape. There are only two exercises that couldn't be done with ankle weights, lunges and one where she has you do a half lunge back combined with a knee up. (I use 3lb. ankle weights and get a great workout now). I have become very quick at getting ankle weights on and off, thanks to years of doing Firm tapes. :-)

I think this is a good lower body tape that is a nice break from heavier weights. It even has a section at the end that works your calves which are overlooked alot of the time in some tapes.

Instructor Comments:
I like Joyce, she is the type of person that just says whatever is on her mind at the moment. Sometimes it's whacky but always entertaining. She's motivating and gives form pointers throughout. I like to follow the woman in the background that is keeping count for Joyce. She has great form and is easier to follow sometimes.
**Just wanted to add that I have emailed Joyce with questions and found her to be very helpful and motivating. Down to earth and friendly.
