"I used this exercise video 2-3 months before my wedding and the results were great. I wish I had started even sooner! This is the best video for those "hard-to-tone" areas, epecially outer thighs, buttocks, and hamstrings! This is the only video that has given me the results I wanted in such a short period of time! I would highly recommend this video."

Less Jumpin' Around, More Squatin' Down!

"This is the third Kathy Smith video I've tried and, like the others, I easily jumped right into the workout from the first playing thanks to Kathy's very clear and precise instructions. This video has the same set and most of the cast from Kathy's "Step Workout" video. Like her other videos, this workout includes a warmup (8 minutes), a workout divided into three segments (total of 36 minutes), and a cool down (5 minutes). Unlike her other videos where you switch the placement of the step from a horizontal placement to a vertical one at the third segment, all segments in this workout use a vertical step placement. The first segment has the most aerobics. It is also the longest segment (16 minutes) but is not difficult. It's over before you know it. I found myself adding a lot of propulsion to the moves (airborne moves) to bring more exertion to the workout. The second segment (10 minutes) includes a lot of squats and leg raises. I have a troubled left knee, but I was able to do all the movements without aggravating it. There are a few moves she uses in this segment that I've never seen before (stepping with one foot on the step and the other on the floor, for instance). The final segment is all leg raises on the floor. There is not a lot of jumping around in this video as there is in the other two step videos I have (Kathy's "Step Workout" and "Power Step"). This video is a nice addition to my step aerobics rotation for days I don't feel like jumping around and would rather concentrate on intense thigh and bun work. The music is a little more "hip" in this workout (R&B with a little bit of rap even). It maight also be helpful to note that this video has two different covers offered on amazon (they have the same title), so don't buy them thinking they are different workouts."

You'll never regret doing this workout!

"This video targets the areas women tend to need help with: the hips, thighs and buttocks. The music is very upbeat. She is amazingly easy to follow, so you tend to not get all mixed up with the moves. Kathy uses fairly simple moves that are very effective. I have all of her Walk Fit Tapes that I use on the treadmill, but this tape gives me the help I need to get into that swimsuit. She is so motivational!!!"

Fun and effective...

"Great Buns and Thighs is a fun step workout. The music is pretty good (real dance-type beats) and the background people aren't annoying. The moves are easy and not too repetitive, but they really focus in on those muscles and you can feel the effects after just one workout. I really enjoy this video. It is pretty fun and there are lots of extra moves you can do to work at a higher level. Five stars, all the way."
