As some reviewers have said, this video is pretty quick paced. But, if you are familiar with basic moves (lunges, etc) it isn't hard to catch up with the instructor. The moves are fast, but not tricky. I felt like I got a good workout, but I wouldn't say it was a tough challenge. Adding heavier weights would easily take this workout into a more challenging zone. I really enjoyed this workout though! It went by so quickly and I felt energized upon completion. Some reviewers have also complained about not having enough reps. My thought would be to pause the video and add a few reps of your own. You own the pause button...pause away! Bonus-it is only 31 minutes in length...leaving enough time to do some more hard-core weight training or some pilates if you desire. I will most likely use this video on my more "off" days or follow this up with some intense weight training.This DVD consists of isolated leg workouts (with or without light weights- no Transfirmer step needed) and cardio sessions.Each leg is equally worked out and the movements are not hard, but the cueing isnt the best so one may need to watch the movements before performing. I'm not a supporter of very fast movements (explosive perhaps) that ask the workout person to hop and perform knee movements since that is such a tender area. So use caution until you get used to the overall movement/concepts.These are unique movements/exercises that I havent seen elsewhere. I like this more for the time concentration and I feel that I get a decent workout in the 30-min than I might do on my own.Realize that this DVD is both leg exercises combined with cardio.Ok, so I'm totally not out of shape but wanted to firm up and def lift my booty. I got this in the mail right away and started my first session last night. It's about 40 mins long of a workout! This kicked my butt!! I had to take a 15 min break and gulp my protein shake (I use Syntha-6 and creatine from GNC) then back at it again. My mom was watching making sure I completed the video. Today, My thighs are a tad sore and I feel my glute muscles tightening. Please note: I have been squatting for 3 weeks now. This is a must get if you want something fast paced! Some of the exercises I couldn't master but I substituted. Also, creatine IS NOT for losing weight. It makes you gain muscle for those who want a muscular body. Also, you will need more than ten glasses of water a day with this stuff since it makes you hold water.I did like this video, but I was looking for more unique steps and some hover squats but this video encompasses most of the 500 calorie movements for the Lower body and the lower body portion of calorie explosion .. If I wasn't using the other 2 DVD"s I would enjoy this one more .. I still got s good workout I just increased the intensity. It is easy to follow you may Have to watch the video first and mimic the routine so that u can maintain form but I had done this already from previous workouts like this collection .i have quite a few firm dvds, and i would have to say this is definitely one of the best i have bought so far, top 3. its strictly lower body toning, with continuous "calorie blasts" to keep your heart rate up and burn extra fat and calories. you need some 5 lb dumbbells, and maybe some 3 lbs ones to double up with the 5's, or a pair of 8's if you don't wanna hold extra to double up. i recommend this video for a person who is in fairly good shape, i'm 20 and i've lost 30 pounds and i consider myself in decent shape but this video had me huffin and puffin halfway through, and the woman leading the video is in her late 30's too i believe! but i would definitely recommend this video, great muscle toning for your butt, legs and hips with a good stretch at the end, all in 30 minutes :-)This is a great, short workout to add onto other vids or to use in a time-crunch. Kelsie is a GREAT instructor, very pleasant and natural as a lead. She is probably the first instructor I have worked out to thinking that she would be a perfect personal trainer.The workout includes target toning of the lower body, with 30 second cardio bursts.. once I did the video once and knew what was coming, I started the movements at the "advanced" level to up the intensity. It is a solid intermediate workout, which you can customize by adding more flair to the movements. I also loved the cool-down, the stretches felt sooo good. Definitely worth the purchase if you want to tone your legs and lift that butt!This is what is advertises. 30 min workout focused on lower body. Some cardio involved too. Good video to mix with others or do on a day you have less time. Kelsey is very clear and direct. I like her as lead instructor. I've used the FIRM for years and always like something new to add into my rotation.I purchased this because I wanted something that was short, with emphasis on lower body toning, that I could do as a "secondary" workout in the evenings. I workout daily in the mornings, but enjoy an evening "metabolism booster" from time to time. Well this workout is great if you are looking for a supplement or just want a short, effective workout. I don't know why people wrote that it is too "slow", it is not. I am an advanced exerciser and I had sweat dripping down my face/back. If you need more intensity, use heavier weight or put on ankle weights. I am SO glad I did not listen to the negative reviews about this and decided to purchase! I will be using this with my other Firm workouts and Jillian Michael's DVD's.I've read quite a few reviews of this DVD on a number of different sites and so far every reviewer has given this DVD top marks. After doing this DVD I decided to write a review giving top marks too.Tight Buns and Killer Legs is a 30 minute lower body workout presented by Kelsie Daniels and is the first DVD I've done in a long time which has made me consider going with the beginner's modifications. This is hard but in a really good way. After a five minute warm up Kelsie moves into the workout which really works your lower body. Beginners are advised to follow Sue Mi who does not use weights, everyone else should have some medium and heavy weights to use. Kelsie moves throught a series of weighted sections which she breaks up with short bursts of cardio. In the weighted sections you'll be doing moves such as the curtsey dip (an absolute killer), knee lifts, squats and glute lifts. The moves are first done in a basic way and then variations and extra moves are brought in. Cardio includes jumping jacks, a hopscotch move and high knee lifts.Kelsie goes through the moves quickly and I couldn't believe how fast the 30 minutes passed by. My legs were shaking at the end of the workout and for the rest of the day I could feel that my legs and behind had had a good workout. This DVD really works you hard and you'll definitely be sweating at the end of it. I noticed a difference in my legs after just a few workouts with this and it's definitely a great addition to my other exercise DVDs. Some of the moves may seem tricky the first time you do the DVD and you may have to watch the segment then rewind and have a go but persevere with it and you're bound to see results.This is my first of the 'The Firm' dvds (I have quite a collection of 10 Minute Solutions, Davina & Jillian Michaels). I really wanted to like it - indeed some of the moves are quite original and I really feel them working, BUT I find it really frustrating trying to figure out which side I'm meant to be working on. When doing DVDs I either follow the instructor's directions exactly (left leg, right arm etc etc), OR do a mirror image of what I see on the screen. But with this one I'm convinced she directs you to work on one side, and she does likewise, and the next minute she'll give you a direction and then she'll do her opposite side. Each time I've done this dvd I've ended up re-winding and repeating sections as I think I've done the same side twice. I've not had this problem with any other exercise dvd. Maybe it's because the pace is fast that I've got confused? I'll give it one more try - failing that it's going to the charity shop!This is my second dvd by the Firm and as usual I wasn't disappointed. It is just 30 minutes, but it was hard work. The thing I was surprised about and will take me time to master, is the amount of core stability you need in this workout. I was expecting the usual lunges and squats but again, the girls at the firm manage to bring out something not seen before. I found the balance aspect of a few of the exercises almost impossible, but I am going to have to practise and master them.This is a good product, no doubt, although a pre-warning to any potential buyers there are several fast moments that just suddenly pop up unexpectedly! You do feel it working and it's recommended that after 10 workouts you can see improvements, I've done 8 and I'm pretty sure there are improvements, but I think it would vary between how hard you work- the beginner modification is without weights. I'm a competitive Irish dancer and show jump horses regularly, so I'm not unfit, but I would still like to be fitter. I went straight to the weights version and felt it the morning after! I wanted to firm these areas and I think that with a couple more workouts, it will be successful.YEah, not that impressed - it's a lot of jumping around and feels like the aerobics classes my mom used to take me to in the 80's....was really looking for something more intense and focused on legs/bun muscles.
