The workout has many moves from the original Buns and Thighs, but it's done with a resistance band. Not all exercises change much with the addition of the band, some become more awkward, like the scissors (band is very much in the way!) and straight leg kicks, where I don't feel the same freedom to point and flex with my foot because the band could slip off. I certainly feel her "fetal thighs" series more with the band. She finishes this workout with a nice bridge series with some pretty wicked pulses thrown in there for good measure.

Yes, Mari is funny! I think she plans to make her funny comments and they come across as rehearsed, but they are funny nonetheless. I'm enjoying her workouts lately.

You are right it is that one, and I actually own it! (I was surprise-gifted this by a kind VFer) This thread inspired me to do it today. I agree the band gets in the way on occasion but still I liked it for its efficiency like the other one. And, I caught the look. Funny when she did the identical "touch" on the first side I made a little silent chuckle. I wanted to do the Flat Abs Pilates but my kids came home...maybe later.

I will have to pay more attention. I usually am so focused on the moves I don't even notice the music.

Scorpio, thanks for your reply. It looks like a lot of props?

JEWELS5: Props in kit -- a weighted bar to which you attach cables w/ handles that can also be used on the feet, a door attachment.

You can use the weighted bar by itself, the bar pulls apart so you can use the weighted ends as 2# hand wts. you can either attach the bar & cables to the door and lie on the mat and use it that way--especially good for leg/tummy work -- or you can use just the bar and cables on the mat without the door attachment. It's pretty efficient and how you use it depends on which workout you're doing.
