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.

Awesome abs!!
This video offers a great ab workout.I've already worn out two videos and I am now on my third tape.I've used this video for over eight years and never get bored.The exercises are always effective - even after all these years.I really appreciate Tamilee's knowledge and experience.

Great abdominals
Tamilee Webb really knows what shes doing.This tape a three seperated ab workouts for three seperate days.I got this tape a while back now and it still works.My abs really took shape.I do this tape with my other workouts for added variety.Let me tell you this is one of the best abs tape ever made.I have a lot of abs tapes that I use from the Firm,Denise Austin and others,I like them alot too.This is my favorite.It makes want to check out the other Abs of steel tapes.I think I will.You people who have not tried this yet,Let me tell.BUY IT

An abs workout that 100% works!
Tamilee's abs workout is great. She provides three 10 min workouts that you alternate with. This ensures the you never plateau. Her instruction is clear and easy to follow. You even get a glut workout too. To see results, however, you must follow her program regularly. In addition, you will need to combine the abs workout with regular cardio exercise and a proper diet to really see the results of Tamilee's program. I highly recommend this workout for anyone serious about getting their abs in shape. ... Read more

Abs of Steel 2 - AWESOME!
After having five children and being 46 years old, there was no way I was going to have good abs.I was wrong.This tape has done what nothing else has done in the past 17 years!I have rock hard, washboard abs, and no one would believe that I have ever had five kids!Granted I do do both workouts EVERY DAY; one in the morning, the other at night, and I am on a high protein diet, but this tape WORKS.I also sometimes do Tami Lee's first Abs of Steel, just for variety.Another good one!

More intense than the first one
Abs of Steel 2 uses most of the same exercises from Abs of Steel 1, but increases the reps, speed, and duration of them. She also adds modified push ups to the routines. A definite all-around workout for the abs. Great for at-home solo training.

Tamilee gives you killer abs fast
I've had video for close to 10 years now, and it's still a regular part of my exercise rotation - because it works! The two 15-minute programs are advanced and challenging - the first focuses on the front part of the abdominals and the second focuses more on the obliques. Both alternate abdominals and push-ups. Most of the exercises are done with the legs and arms off the floor so you can't cheat. Tamilee is always smiling and looks like she's having a great time doing the workout. She has a master's degree and teaches you all the proper names for the muscles as you do the workout. So you get smarter as well as stronger! ... Read more

Excellent Workouts
I like Jaime's videos. I hate to work my thighs and buns. But this workout is fast and effective. I have bad knees so I have to modify some of the moves but that creates no problems as I still get a very effective workout.
Good buns workout
This workout is a good compact workout for the glutes at intermediate level. I don't know if beginners could keep with it at first. The second part for legs is not challenging (except for the numerous lunges) but it will keep you toned up.

Good routine
I was looking for something that could easily fit into my schedule and produce real results.This tape definitely fit the bill.I use it a couple of times a week and even after the first week I saw improvements in the tone and definition.The fact that its so quick (a total of 16 minutes for buns and thighs) make it easier to keep up with as well.It is a bit difficult physically with a couple of the exercises but overall its a great video. ...

Can't review it, because I can't seem to get it
I've been waiting 2 months for this item, but it never seems to come off of backorder. I recommend trying another item.

Excellent video for back pain
After suffering with back pain for months and using doctor prescribed strong painkillers, I got very little relief and wasn't keen on continuing using painkillers long term. Gradually I started researching alternatives and read reviews for this video and bought it. I don't have enough good things to say about this video, it gave me relief within days, I don't have back pain anymore. Now I use this tape just for stretching after a long day at work. I like Rodney Yee's calming voice, he has a pleasant face and the background music is soothing too. After this yoga I feel relaxed and can sleep better, this is a great buy for those with lower back pain.

Great for beginners
This video is okay if don't want something too intense.I prefer a workout where I can really feel the burn and this one just didn't do it for me.I do think, however, that this is a great video for beginners.

WoW!
A friend recommended this video to me. I was kind of skeptical to try it. As you know what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. But, I tried it and it worked for me too!Give it a try, I know I am glad I did.

Tough Tape!
I have been a fan of Tami Lee since I purchased the Abs of Steel video (so many years ago I can't remember when!). I have had the I Want Those Abs video for over 5 years and have been using it faithfully.

Great video!!
Denise does it again.Hard to top her when it comes to spot toning.I like her chatter as it gets you through the workout
I love this ab video!
I will still swear that Denise's "Super Stomachs" is my favorite ab video of all time but Get Fit Fast Abs is my number two.This video has three short 10-15 minute levels which is great for those who don't have a lot of time to devote to working out.The excercises are slow and controlled which makes them challenging.Denise spends a lot of time with her back ups demonstrating the correct form and is very motivating in all the right parts when you feel like giving up.I highly recommend this video if you want to see fast results from a short period of excercise time.

Denise is no longer allowed in my house
my husband has heard enough about me complaining that Denise Austin makes videos that seem to put the body at risk, and these ab workouts might help some, but they are very hard on the lower back and caused my intense pain, i will not keep using this video, and think many people will agree that this video is not the best ab video for all levels, it is a typical Denise Austin video that will allow you and grate on your nerves, as she does so easily...try something else! ...

Great! Definately does the Job
I think this tape is really great and 8 min is short enough that you can work it into your routine 3-4 times a week. I have a tendency to gain weight on my upper body, after doing this video for about a month I have noticed a difference!

The most practical way to tone up
This is an exellent way to trim and tone up your body in only 8 minutes time. My parents got this tape back when I was younger [I'm only 14] and I watched my mom do it all the time. But when I got older I started doing it and it was awesome my abs were actully harder and tighter then before! But unfortunitly the tape was recently eaten by my vcr, but of course I loved this so much I went on good ol Amazon and orderd the dvd package which includes 8 minute abs, buns, thighs, and arms, but I havent recieved it yet.But if your concidering getting this I highly recommend getting the whole 8 minute workout pack which I mentioned above because it's around the same price of this one tape but you get all the workouts on 2 dvds. Bottom line this 8 minute abs is a practical way to trim and shape up your body in no time.

Worth the money and your time
If you don't have 8 minutes every day to devote to doing these simple, low impact, user friendly exercises, let's face it, you're probably not motivated to do ANY exercises.

Love it - wish it were on DVD!!!
I have owned this tape for 10 years - bought it from a Newport News catalogfor $10 at the time. MAN do I wish I had been doing it for the past 10 years!! Now 38, I am really feeling the "approaching 40" expansion of my hips & thighs; and was devastated when I measured and found that my THIGHS were the size my WAIST was when I was 23. Boy does that suck.
Solid workout for thighs and hips
This workout burns the side thighs and hips very nicely! The rhythm of the counting was off way too frequently, and that was distracting, but I now just turn down the volume so I follow the visual and count on my own. Three sets of ten for most exercises, easy enough. Doing the hamstring lifts are so much more efficient with added ankle weights, as they suggest. And I am sorry the stretching is so brief. I pause the tape to do a deeper stretch while I'm heated up so I can keep my muscles long.
Get sleek, sexy, and shapely legs! I did!
I am a big fan of this tape. The moves are simple but effective and you will feel the burn. Doing these exercises along with cardio will get you results. My previously chunky legs are so beautiful. There is no chatty instructor.Kathy Kaehler, the trainer, will briefly show you how to do the exercises, and then you just hear counting, brief tips from Kathy and Claudia is shown in several different frames doing the exercise. The style of the video is kind of artsy, but nothing is too distracting not even the music.

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 ...

impressive!
i borrowed this tape from someone and was impressed enough to order a copy for myself. this is a more beginner-friendly pilates-type workout. the sets are shorter than some of the other pilates tapes, the tape is filmed in a beautiful studio with live drummers. nice change from all the bad 80's style music in so many tapes. a good workout any time, but i prefer to do this one at night. the more variety in your abdominal workout, the better results you will get. this is a nice addition to my daily workout.

A good workout
I am a new mom and have a hard time getting off to the gym so I have invested in workout tapes.I have tried about four others and than recently I got this as a christmas gift and popped it in.I immediately liked that it moved fast. The point is, is that you don't do the same excercise 20 times and than move on - you do it a couple and than move on -BECAUSE IT WORKS SO WELL -IT WILL TONE YOU AND WORK OUT THAT AREA - instead of unneeded repetition. You get a workout everywhere.the next day I was the most sore I have ever been, and I thought the workout was easy.I have done the tape two more times - and I am excited beforehand! I DON'T HAVE TO NAG / MOTIVATE MYSELF TO DO IT. :) I highly recommend this to anyone - I have NEVER done pilates or ballet and this was a little hard, but easier each time you do it!

Great Tape!!!
I picked this up for a change of pace and was pleasantly surprised.You will definitely feel it not long after doing it.I have a lot of other yoga/pilates/stretching type tapes, but none have made me as sore as this.This one is a winner! ... Read more

I thik all 4 of her videos are amazing. The legs video is my favorite, because you see results within two weeks.I really would love to see them on DVD, they are the only reason I have a VCR still.
Please Please PLEASE release these all on DVD!!
I love these videos but it's a pain to hook up my VCR so I need them on DVD now. They're so great & effective, please put them on DVD already. I've been doing them for 9 years now and they are the best comprehensive home workout around. Judging by these Amazon reviews, I'm not the only frustrated Perfectly Fit-fan. So please put them on DVD ASAP and I will buy them all over again!!

Good AB Workout
When I first did this video I thought this isn't doing anything. I don't feel like I'm working out at all...then the next day my ABs were sore (in a good way)! I was surprised such a low impact workout could work so well.

Excellent ab routine
Excellent workout but too hard for many beginners. Great relaxing workout
This tape is phenomenal.I never thought I could find an ab workout relaxing, but that's exactly what this tape offers.There's a strong focus on breathing and some of the new age things you come to expect with yoga, but it definately provides a great ab workout in a short amount of time.Read more

Very Good Workout
It's hard to keep up with when you first start out, but all 3 workouts are great & you can go at your own pace. I'd definitely recommend it. I do one 12 minute workout each day after doing some aerobic exercises, & I started seeing a difference after just a few weeks.

fun & effective!
i really like this tape. the workout is challenging but well paced and after nearly two weeks i am definitely seeing results in my biggest problem area: the ABS!
Easy to stick with
I have only used the ab portion of this video, but the results are great and quick. I do not have the flattest belly, but when I use this I can see a huge difference within a week or two. The best part is that you only need to really do it 3 times a week, minimum. The reason I think it works is because, though it is only 12 minutes, it's 12 minutes non-stop ab work. As soon as you start saying "ouch" she moves onto the next exercise. I've lost my original copy so I just ordered a new one........I'm so glad it's still in print. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ... Read more

Excellent - Feel the burn
This is a great video and Brungardt is a superb instructor. His book is the best I've read on abs and this is one of the best ab videos I've used. There are actually three workouts on the video. Each gets a bit more challenging.
ONE OF THE BEST AB WORKOUTS ON THE MARKET
I am a women and I love this video.Years ago a guy in blockbuster video recommended it.I tried it and I was pleasingly surprised.If you're a beginner, then you should definitely start with level one and work your way up.Each level is challenging and effective.Kurt Brungardt is an awesome trainer.He works each section of your abs.No muscle is left out.Doing this workout along with a little change in your eating habit, I assure you, you would be amazed at the results you'll see.I highly recommend this video.

Smart, very smart
"We're gonna train hard, but we're gonna train smart": Kurt Brungardt delivers on this promise. This video is extremely well thought-through; Kurt spends ample time warming you up and cooling you down--more than the actual workouts, and those are graded in a realistic progression. The one person who didn't give this video five stars probably didn't follow Kurt's advice about not trying to do all the reps when starting out; it's entirely possible to follow the program at one's own pace. Kurt is a lot more saavy than your typical fitness guru; you'll appreciate the thought that went into this tape as much as the abs that come out of it. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Belly dancers are known for their ability to isolate and move one body part at a time. This video helps you tone arms and abs by learning isolations that target just those muscles. The arm routine uses smooth, flowing movements that complement the accompanying hip moves. Special motions of the wrists and fingers make the moves look dramatic and fluid, sometimes snakelike. Meanwhile, you're working your abdominals by lifting, shifting, and circling your ribcage. This video, more than the others in this series, makes you feel and look like a belly dancer. For example, you do "Egyptian arms" (picture yourself balancing a dinner tray on each hand, elbows at shoulder height, flexed wrists at ear height, fingertips away) while lifting and shifting your ribcage from side to side. The 30-minute workout includes some difficult abdominal moves done on the floor, body weight resting on feet and arms, torso lifted. Read more

Unique upper body toning routine
Bellydance Fitness Arms and Abs is designed to tone your upper body using bellydance-inspired movements. In the first half of the workout, you will do a variety of arm movements, most of which require you to hold the arms at shoulder level or above. Although the voiceover instruction suggests that these moves will tone your biceps and triceps, I felt them mostly in my shoulders, which quickly became fatigued. Eventually, you move on to working the chest and ribs, mainly through isolation movements. The final ten minutes of this workout are performed on the floor. You'll start with several non-traditional abs exercises--eg, leg lifts while propped on your elbows--and then you'll work on more traditional crunches. The workout finishes with several yoga-inspired stretches, and the total time comes in at about 28 minutes.
Oh, my poor arms...
I barely made it through the warm-up, so I know this one is good.My arms and abs are probably the weakest parts of my body, so I was drawn to this video by its title.Veena and Neena aren't nearly as annoying as some exercise video instructors, and they make it all look so effortless.I'll definitely be working out to this video for a while, until I can make it through the whole thing.Fun and a great workout, which is what I've been looking for.After this I'll buy anything Veena and Neena put out.

Very decieving!
I started out on this and it was easy...but as time went through..by the end of the half hour I was in pain!! If this doesnt make me loose nothign will! ... Read more

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!!!

Great arm workout!
I have used this tape a few weeks now, twice a week, and it still isn't easy to do. My arms and shoulders feel worked! I really like how this series of exercises works all three aspects of the deltoids, as well as the upper back, chest and arms. I'm getting ready for summer, none too soon. I'm sure this series will get me there. (I especially like the legs workout in this series as well.)

Great arm workout!
I have used this tape four weeks now, twice a week with 5 lb. weights, and it still isn't easy to do. My arms and shoulders feel worked!

I'm sure this series of tapes will get me there. (I especially like the legs workout as well.)

The best upper body workout EVER!!!
I started this tape in the beginning of January 2006. I started out with 3 lb weights and after three weeks I was up to 5 lb weights.

Wish it was on DVD
This is an essential, highly effective workout. I've had it for years, and whenever I see my abs get a little poochy, I pop this in my VCR. Did I mention how gret it would be if they put this out on DVD?!I've even received comments on how flat my abs are following so much as one of these workouts. Good cueing, good flow of routine. I normally skip the cool down portion,and do my own, as I don't think there's anything special about it- would have given 4 1/2 stars if possible. But again, this is a highly effective and reliable ab workout.

Simple but effective
I have had this tape since 1998 and it's still one of the best routines I've encountered even after taking special abs classes at the gym. I've tried other convoluted ab moves by instructors at the gym, but I often go back to this video because sometimes you just want a simple and effective ab workout. This is especially the case when I had to go to physically therapy for my low back/tail bone. My back pain prevented me from performing many ab exercises, but most the moves in this video were safe enough for me to do without aggravating my back as long as I kept my knees slightly bent.
The results speak for themselves.
I completely agree with the review by "pioq" given 4/17/03, on every point. But would like to add that if you are like me, unable to take high impact exercise, you will probably enjoy this series for its intense yet gentle approach. Repetition is key, and the stretching and cool-downs are also very effective. I can count on these workouts to give me results that are quick to show and feel plus they are long lasting. And they speak for themselves. ... Read more

AWESOME!
This video is PERFECT for an athlete looking for a great ab routine.I've talked body builders into trying it (the kind who do 800 crunches a day) and it totally wipes them out.Fit it in just once a week to your fitness and diet program and you WILL see results!

This is the best workout I've ever did
Except for my back pains. I just started yesterday and I can really feel my abs and butt getting stronger. But my back is really killing me. Maybe a pillow under it will help.

tae bo on crack?
this workout plays as if it's on fast-forward, down to the music which literally sounds like a cassette tape that's playing in fast mode. and the music has to be the most godawful workout soundtrack i have ever heard! having said that, if you do not want to risk pulling a back muscle, try doing the workout at a slower pace. the ab work is good and works the whole group of muscles BUT there is simply no need to go at that breakneck pace. advanced doesnt mean it has to be faster. ...
