PLEADING
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, WHEN WILL THIS BE AVAILABLE ON DVD?HOWCOME EVERYTHING ELSE CAN BE FOUND ON DVD, BUT NOT THIS????LET ME JUST TELL YOU, I AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE REVIEWS!!!I HAVE HAD THIS TAPE SINCE COLLEGE, AND I HAVE BEEN THROUGH ALL OF THE OTHERS, TOO.AS HILARIOUSLY 80'S AND CHEESY AS IT SURELY IS, THE "ORIGINAL" IS THE BEST!IT IS THE ONLY ONE THAT DOESN'T CONTAIN 3 MILLION REPS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF SQUATS! (I HATE SQUATS AND THEY HURT MY KNEES)I AM ACTUALLY CONTEMPLATING BUYING A VCR JUST SO I CAN DO MY TAPE AGAIN!!!!PLEASE GET THIS RECORDED ON TO DVD... PLEASE?!!!?

The only butt routine i have found that really works!
I accidentally gave this tape away and now am going to buy a new one. I wanted a DVD so I tried the newer buns of steel DVD's, but none of them do the floor work outs. Greg gets you on the floor to really target all kinds of muscles in there that you didn't even know you had. And he makes sure you are in the right position and understand the move before starting each one. All the other DVD's just have you do squats and lunges over and over and it can be rough on your knees and they go fast without concern of tequnique or injury. Each one of Gregs exercises is unique and does not hurt your back or knees. I am an athlete, and let me tell you this video will give you above and beyond what just rigourous excercise can do. It gives you shape, form and reduction of cellulite in those very difficult areas! And greg is not annoying, at no time do you want to slap him like those peppy ladies. He is nice and encouraging

Your whole lower body will burn
I did not think this tape would have such an effect on my lower body.I never had done it before and my aunt gave it to me so I thought I would give it a try.Me and my mom went through the whole and by the end I was going to beg for mercy.

Great workout for the buns
I had to buy this tape again because I wore my old one out.This is literally one of my favorite Buns of Steels.This wokout is made up of lunges,side lunges,back lunges,squats,floor works thats intense and it has an ab section.
My Favourite Workout
I love this workout.The look of the tape changed, and I had lost my first copy and thought I wouldn't find it again, but here it is.I have lost wieght, and gained muscle and slim shape with this workout.For graduation from university, I wanted to wear a tight lycra dress and this tape gave me the shape to wear my dress with nothing dragging behind!Thank you Tamilee!

THE BEST!!
I have at least 20 exercise videos and not too much time to work out, and this one is TOPS.This video is short, intense, SAFE for my bad knees, and extremely effective.Be ready to have to increase your protein intake after doing this one a few times, because it'll really work your muscles.I just wore out my original video and have ordered two more before it's no longer available.You'll feel ALOT stronger and have better posture for having done it.I can't recommend it enough.Good luck!Nita ...

Love this video
I absolutely love this video.I am a very active person and usually get bored really easily by workout videos. I especially hate it when the choreography is repetitive and boring.
Thank goodness for a normal pregnancy workout
When I was looking for a way to keep doing aerobics, I turned naturally to Kathy Smith, whose tapes I have been doing for years.But the reviews editorially and from the customers were so bad, I didn't want to take a chance.I also do a lot of Buns of Steel work outs from the 90s, and so when I saw there was a pregnancy tape, I decided to give it a try.The moves are fun and she adds on so you don't get bored.She also does a section of lunges, squats and some stomach work.I think it is a great 40 minutes.Plus the people in the video are really pregnant!!!
Worth It
I really liked this video. It definitely made my thighs sore, so I knew it was working! Worth the money. ... Read more

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.
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.
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. ... Read more

An upgrade - in more ways than one
As a long-time fan of Tamilee Webb and her body, PLATINUM SERIES BUNS OF STEEL 2000 is not the first of her exercise videos I have viewed.But compared to all the others, it is equal to or better than the finest aspects of those other ABS OF STEEL and BUNS OF STEEL Tamilee Webb tapes.
Platinum Editions Are All Time Favorites
In reading the previous reviews on the Buns of Steel 2000 workout, I HAD to post my own review.All of the Buns of Steel (Buns of Steel 2000 Step Workout, Thighs of Steel 2000, and this Buns of Steel 2000 version) are truly AMAZING.I have been using the 3 of these (in addition to a couple other tapes) for about 10 years now (about 4 times a week) and it STILL makes me sore, at least while I'm doing the exercises.After 10 years I still feel that the exercises are working.And I can also see in how my body looks that they definitely are working.I honestly can't believe anyone would have anything negative to say about any of the Platinum edition Buns of Steel workouts.I find myself sweating and out of breath (signs that I'm getting a good workout) every single time I use them.I can't say that about most other workout tapes.If you don't have these and are looking for a good workout, get them while you can.They really need to get them all on DVD.I know my tapes won't last forever...

Great workout
Buns of Steel 2000 is a challenging, effective glute and leg workout that combines cardio, stretching, and toning.The music and clothes are good for a laugh--very 80s, high socks and thong leotards--but the moves hold true even in 2005.

LOVE this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been doing this video steadily for several years. Its my favorite one.I'd love to see it in DVD format!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great video!
This is the first exercise video that I have been able to follow and keep doing (I am a bit uncoordinated).Tamilee provides excellent instruction and good motivation without being too corny. Tamilee Webb is awesome as the video personal trainer
This video works wonders for beginners. It adds a little bit of challenge for the people who want it too. I also liked the wonderful fitness advice Tamilee Webb gives the workout audience. This is a workout tape for womenand men as well. :-) ... Read more

Buns, buns and more buns.....
This 40 minute workout is led by Tamilee Webb, who has led most of the "Steel" workouts.This one is super advanced for buns and lower body.Half of the routine is done standing and the other half on the floor.Equipment that is used in this workout are a step or box, light dumbells (1-5lb) and a mat if you do not have carpet.Of course if you do not have a step you can still do the moves without it.
At last!
Or, should I say, "at lust," as here is a Tamilee Webb BUNS OF STEEL video that lets you see Tamilee Webb's rear end.She only shows her thong-revealing buttocks for a couple of seconds, though.Odd, when you think about it, as what is the point of promoting a buns exercise tape without showing the instructor from the rear?Check out Tamilee Webb's ABS OF STEEL videos and the camera is all over her stomach, after all.

The burn is worth the rewards!
I could not believe how well this video works on the abs! I felt the burn immediately, and noticed that I was holding myself with better posture after the first workout. After having done the video only a few times, I can tell a difference already.

A very useable video for a new mother
I love the way that this video is broken into 4 segments. It makes it possible for me to excercize regularly without feeling bad that I can not do an entire tape at one time. Just wonderful
I really liked this video. It was a bit tough right after the baby was born. But it got better, because the video is set up for you to get stronger gradually. And contrary to the title, it helps strengthen your abs, legs, and buns! A good purchase. ... Read more

An okay tape
I like Tamilee and Tracy but Donna gets very patronizing and has some overly complicated combinations.The tape is only about 20 minutes aerobics, 20 minutes of squats, and 10 minutes of cool down/warm up, which isn't bad but I would like more aerobics.This is an okay intermediate tape, but the squats do their job pretty well.

This one works!
This workout is one of the best I have ever used.Three instructors alternate with their different styles through a step routine during the first half.The second half is spent using the step to do squats and lunges working every muscle that allows us to walk.The music used by the instructors is perfect for the workout.I have owned all the Buns of Steel 2000 videos and while they are all great, this one gives the best workout.

A Bun Buster!
This step video consists of a 25-minute step routine (includes a warmup and very short cool down) and a 25-minute toning routine for legs and buns.Tamilee Webb, Donna Richardson, and Tracy York all take over the instructor roles throughout the video which I like.It brings a nice change of pace to the workout.The step portion is similar to the routine in the Buns-of-Steel 7 video, but is a little more challenging (in terms of applying power moves) and not as repetitious as the instructors change.I was able to do the step routine the first time I popped the video in, so it is not very complicated.It is also fairly short, but you will make up for it in the next segment: toning.Read more

Great for beginners
If you are horribly uncoordinated, like I am, but want to start doing step, this is the perfect beginning step workout for you. Or if you need a step workout to do when you just don't feel like working out at all. This video gives you a great workout, don't get me wrong, but it is only 30 minutes long and the moves are uncomplicated, so it's easy to follow. I got my heart rate up and felt great doing it! I wouldn't suggest it for the person who is looking for a fast-paced advanced step workout though. I have used this video for quite a few years and still love it.

Best Step Aerobics Video for Beginners!!!
Marsha Macro makes this video easy and fun!Her positive attitude and encouragement throughout the video makes it very enjoyable as well.This is great for beginners.It is the only workout video I was able to complete the first time I tried it.Most workout videos are so intense, that I could not finish, and then I would feel badly about not finishing and eventually give up on the video and excercise.I get a great sense of accomplishment every time I do the video.I highly recommend it, and I wish it were on DVD, so I do not have to worry about my tape eventually wearing out!!!I guess I should get extra copies instead. ...

Best Yoga tape I've used
A friend gave me a stack of yoga tapes for beginners. The first few seemed more like yoga-robics they went so fast. I couldn't keep up. I'd be trying to learn the move and they'd be on to another. I had no time to appreciate any pose at all, either, to get the maximum benefit from it.
Yoga and so much more
I have been using this same video for years now and finally had to buy a new one after giving up on ever seeing it turned into a DVD. Although I have a variety of yoga workout tapes, this is the one I most enjoy and use most consistently and frequently. It is easy for the beginner to pick up yet doesn't become boring for the more experienced user. But what I like best is that feeling of serenity and peace at the end of the workout - the instructor does an excellent job of integrating this benefit of yoga seamlessly and effortlessly throughout the entire workout.

5 stars from me, too
I don't have much to add that hasn't been said by other reviewers, but wanted to put in my 5 stars' worth. :-) I love this video and hope it comes out in DVD someday. Marguerite is a very talented instructor who is very warm, kind, compassionate (I've taken many classes from her in person); these qualities come out in her video. ... Read more

Not what it seems by the cover..and thats good!
The cover of this yoga workout is very deceiving to the more detailed eye...in that the posture of the woman on the cover is terrible in so many ways...the pose is way out of alignment for the knees and back and feet are not even on sure grounding. Why that pose in such a way I don't know because the workout is actually just the opposite. There are three people..showing modifcations..the woman on the cover leads it. Overall it works slower than I imagined and its not bad at all. While the workout is not for me and my own pace...its good for others. Its a little too talky for me...its difficult to be looking at the camera...do the excercises and que everyone including yourself...this can get the instructor and the viewer a bit stuck. its beyond me why and how they did not see how not yoga aware that picture is. But if you want to check it out do so...its cheap on ebay...about a $1.00 I've seen it for... don't be deterred right away by the cover.

Good Power Yoga Introduction
I have many many yoga tapes by many instructors and in different styles. Overall this tape is pretty good and I do like Ms. Broman. The setting is real nice and I do like the music as well.
Been Using for 4 Years
I've been using this video for four years and I still do it every other morning.It's still challenging and relaxing.It's not typical yoga in that it's main focus is fitness, then mind, then spirit.So if you want to get into shape and give Yoga a try, this tape is perfect for you.The more you do the workout, the better you'll be able to hold the pose and the more fit you'll become.Hope you enjoy it! ...

It takes practice
I got this vhs from a friend of mine who has two left feet when it comes to anything other than walking. I figured since I've always been a quick learner and love dancing, this would be no sweat. Well it was a lot of sweat and I felt like I was the one with two left feet! It took me several tries to get the foot-work (without the arms) and at one point I shelved the video out of frustration. But eventually I made up my mind to keep trying and that even though I couldn't get the hang of it right away, if I broke it down in segments eventually I'd get it. I mean, these instructors probably had a hard time getting it together, too. Once I learned the foot-work I was smiling cornily just like they were. Even my sister is in awe of my ability to keep up and hardly make any mistakes, and she's 11 years younger than me. It's a great workout once you get it. I would have given it five stars since I love it now, but that wouldn't be fair to all the people with two left feet.

Stick with it!
I agree this video is not the easiest to learn, but its really not that bad. Start by just doing the legs, and then add the arms as you get the hang of it. The steps are more complicated than the usual basic series of lunges and squats, and it moves pretty quickly. However, that is exactly why it is so much fun once you get the steps down. I have been doing this video for years now, and I never get bored with it.

Nice short workout!!!
Very well instructed. Short but relaxing. I like his instructions, very well done and you do not have to think so much about what you are doing as he goes slow and is very clear in his instuctions. I found it very easy to follow. I would recommend this one for beginners like me.

I think you will be pleased
I really like this one. Its easy to follow and learn. I liked the flow very much and the pace was perfect.I had gotten some that were awful so when I received this one I was very happy about it. If you order it I think you will be pleased.

Easy to follow explanation and demonstration of steps
Outstanding. The various steps are demonstrated in slow pace, while the camera focus directly on each movement as it is verbally explained.One easy video for beginners to learn basic steps throughly and then go on tomore advanced stages of Tai Chi. ... Read more

It is worth the buy, a must to add to all the steel tapes!!
I just did this workout(the aerobics part), and I really thought it was fun and not to difficult at all, I got all the moves by the first or second try and I didn't even view the tape first, each instructor has a new routine and they take you step by step building up to all the moves. Don't be afraid to try this fun tape, the bad reveiws I read kept me from completing my total steel collection, I finally grew so curious, as to why this tape was so bad and I just loved and enjoyed doing the rest of them, I just bought it and took a chance, I'm super glad I did. This tape is a great workout!! Try it!!!!

Toning section is great
i agree with the others. the toning section of this video is awesome but the aerobic part is to "fancy". the instructors are moving and changing so quickly i found it hard to keep up with. i found myself going back to the basic step continually. i think the instructors could have been more serious. i don't recommend this video to anyone who isn't professional jazz dancer. lol

Too Complicated!
I was so excited to get this video, only to be completely let down.Instructors went through moved very quickly and advanced on before I could figure out the initial moves.It became impossible to follow, and I eventually turned it off.One would have to watch the video multiple times beforehand or know all moves from a more advanced level to be able to participate. ...

Ooww, it hurts
This video is good, but there is room for improvement. Such as there isn't much power streching going on, though there is aerobics. But, this video is great if you're into relaxation.

squat with scott
Misleading title and no consistent theme. This 50 minute video has several sections, none of which involve any stretching until the last 20 minutes.Set in the Arizona desert, the techniques combined with themismatchedCaribbean-flare music during the warm-up had me laughing out loud.Ithought it couldn't get worse, until this Caribbean warm-up was followed byaerobics set to African tribe music! It wasn't until Scott told me to"Get down with my bad self" that I really lost it! This is not stretch, it's more LOW impact aerobics.
At first I thought the tape didn't match the box! This is fast moving, more very low impact aerobic style. I wish I hadn't bought it. ... Read more

Fun and to the point
I enjoy working out to this video, it's fun and easy yet you still feel the burn!!

Fabulous tape!
My husband and I just started our workout program a few months ago after being couch potatoes for too long. We used a Greg Smithey beginner tape to start and have progressed to this tape. It gives us a great workout. They ladies are enthusiastic and the exercises are easy to follow. The combination of aerobics and toning really works wonders. I went from a size 10 to a size 6 in about 4 months! I wholeheartedly recommend this tape.

Quick Workout
Although I consider myself in the advanced workout category, this low impact, beginner workout did just fine. I just wanted something quick to start the day and not be late for work. I thought this video was good for beginners or seniors who are trying to get into exercising. The aerobics portion is only a half hour so not overwhelming, and the steps are pretty simple, low-impact and enjoyable. I thought the toning section could have been more intense, even for beginners. ... Read more

Good step workout...
Lynne Brick leads you through this 30 minute step routine, she instructs one on one, but is friendly, enthusiastic and cues well.The choreography is pretty easy to pick up, you will see basic steps, v-steps, knee lifts, step kicks, over the tops, straddles, etc. She teaches one combination at a time and at the end of the workout you will do all of them one last time.She also gives options to increase the intensity should it become to easy, as well as options for keeping it at lower intensity.
It DOES make you sweat
It took me awhile to warm up to this tape. I really don't like the work out tapes where you learn a move, then do the whole routine, learn a move, do the routine and so on. I prefer to learn several different routines instead of one routine with several different moves. AWESOME!
I love this tape!! You WILL sweat! I purchased this video for [money] at a [local store] two (2) years ago, when I began my fitness program. This tape is a must for your fitness library because as you become more fit, this tape will continue to challege you. Read more
