I've Got To Write More Reviews!
Danielle, I don't have Give Me Strength, though there are some segments of that in her All My Best compilation tapes. The tape I do have is Strong For Life, which consists of two half-hour workouts. Workout #1 works pectorals, triceps, biceps, quads, glutes, and hamstrings. Workout #2 works back, delts, calves, abs, and outer/inner thighs. If you wanted to do a total body workout, both segments of the tape would do that. Or you could do only upper or lower body if you didn't mind fast-forwarding to the proper segments. I usually do this tape in one sitting as a total body workout.
As for Getting Better, there are two reviews on this tape with breakdowns in the new reviews section, one by Barb L and one by myself. A review of Sculpture: Upper Body is here: http://www.videofitness.com/reviews/richard-sub.php Sculpture: Upper Body can be done as one or two workouts, each approximately 1/2 hour in length (with warmup/cooldown), or as one 51-minute workout. She does two sets each of pectorals, triceps, and biceps in the first segment, followed by two sets each of deltoid, back, and lat work, plus abs in the second segment. This tape is a major fryer for my arms. Sculpture: Lower Body is a 49-minute workout that can be broken into two segments. This tape is primarily floorwork. The first segment consists of standing calf and quad work, plus inner/outer thigh floorwork. The second segment consists of glute and hamstring floorwork plus abs. I usually do the tape in one go, but I like how she tried to make it flexible if time is short for you. The major difference between her Sculpture tapes and Getting Better is that there is some standing work in both Sculpture tapes, while Getting Better is done entirely seated or lying on the floor (since Margaret did the workout when recovering from foot surgery). I primarily do Cathe for weight work too, using heavy weights. Margaret's weight work is a nice change of pace, since it features lighter weights and more reps. Don't let the tiny weights fool you though. Your arms will feel like they will fall off. And her floorwork is as tough as early Firm floorwork but longer and more thorough. You've got me interested now in Muscle and Grace Toning! Would you be willing to do a review sometime of that one? I've got enough of her tapes for now to hold me, but if it ever comes up on the exchange or Ebay.... :rolleyes:
