Rating: - boring..
I love tamilee but this video is soo boring. My buns dont feel at all sore. It was a nice cardio workout but thats about it. I was hoping for more bun work since it is called BUNS of steel.
I couldnt wait for the tape to be over. Ill never do it again, cause altho the cardio was good, i have dozens of step cardio tapes that are much more interesting :(
Rating: - Surprisingly good step workout...
I like this video, yes it's a little dated and it's not the toughest routine in the world but I always get a good workout with this video. Tamilee Webb leads you through a 40 minute step routine along with 2 background exercisers, Lori who shows some easier modifications, and Megan who is the advanced stepper and uses a higher platform. They are dressed in animal print outfits and are in the same drab setting as most of the Buns of Steel workouts are filmed. But for me it doesn't take away from the workout at all.
You start out with a simple warmup where the step is used for part of it, a brief stretch follows before going into the first combination of the workout.
The first combination builds gradually starting with alternating knee lifts, then raising the opposite arm once each, then both arms which gets a little tricky sometimes, I usually raise the wrong arm a few times but I don't stress over it, Tamilee actually does it once herself. Then you will do tap up/downs to one corner then the other adding opposition arms to it. After you have that down you will add over the tops, then walking around the platform to the other side. You will repeat each part a few times before adding a piece to it. Later on Tamilee adds lunges onto the step in place of the tap up/downs. I stick with the taps myself for this part. The final part that is added is a pivot turn on the last lunge. This is repeated several times as the combination is building and you will change lead legs each time which can get a little confusing.
The second combination starts with the alternating knee lifts again, but this time you will go into alternating L-steps on each side along with assorted arms movements. Then you start adding on with a 4 count march into a side squat first, then a tap up/down into hip extensions. The last part of the combination returns to the alternating knee lifts with a basic step inserted. Tamilee shows a optional variation of this part later where you do a quarter turn and you are straddling over the step while doing the knee lifts, etc. Again this combination is repeated often as parts are gradually added. Tamilee ends the workout by taking you through both combinations a couple more times. Then you cooldown and do some stretching.
What is helpful with this routine besides the gradual building of the combinations, is that Tamilee will occasionally step over to the other side and do the routine from the same viewpoint as you so you know exactly where your feet need to be. This is helpful as you are ... Read More
Rating: - not exactly advanced
This video is a decent, although somewhat repetitive, beginner/intermediate workout. The moves are pretty simple if you've done step before, and in general are well instructed and easy to learn. One thing that bothered me was that, like so many exercise videos, the beginning, very simple moves are reviewed extensively, and then some of the more complicated, high intensity moves are just thrown in without much explanation. This is only frustrating for the first couple viewings, though, because after a few times you've learned them. I am what I would consider intermediate, and while I do get a nice sweat going here I never feel very challenged. The moves WILL work your butt if you really commit to the moves (lots of squats and lunges). Basically, this is a good tape if you want a nice workout on a day where you don't want to really push yourself. Tamilee Webb is a friendly and non-irritating instructor, but the sound quality in the tape is awful. Several times you can barely hear her over the music, which is pretty bad. When you can hear her, however, she sounds great, supportive and energetic without the shrillness of other instructors. I enjoyed this tape, but the sound quality and lack of challenge for an "intermediate/advanced" tape made me feel it should be a three, not a four star rating.
Rating: - Definetly the way to get "Buns of Steel"
When I initially used this video, I thought that was lousy because, although it did get my heartrate going, I did not feel like it was especially concentrating on my "buns". But the next day, BOY, did I feel it. My bum was so sore. Although the moves are some what monotonous, I think it makes it easier for everyone to follow, while at the same time giving every level of workout junkie a great workout. Tami Lee is a great instructor and the video was well worth it. This would be my suggestion for anyone looking for a great toning and aerobic workout.
