This is a great arms workout!
I met Cory Everson YEARS ago when she was competing and appearing at body building shows and competitions.So, it was ironic 15+ years later to read out her videos that I knew nothing about (but wished I had before now).I did purchase this based upon an Amazon list and have really enjoyed this workout!I think Cory does a fantastic job in guiding the viewer through a quality arms and shoulders workout.I am a long time workout fanatic, but after finishing this video even I marvel at how "pumped up" my arms and shoulders are.Yes, it's corny with the thongs, big hair and dated earrings, but the workout is quality and stands the test of time.If you can get your hands on this video, do, it is well worth your time and effort!

Terrific arms workout....
I just received my 2nd copy of this video, my VCR ate the first one. It is a great video, parts of it are a little cheesy but it is well worth the money. There are 3 sets of 12 reps per exercise, you work shoulders first, starting with the muscle building exercise, overhead press, then you go on to front raises, rear delt raises, and lateral raises which Cory calls toning & shaping exercises. She repeats this pattern for all the muscle groups. Then it's on to biceps, the first being 3 sets of normal bicep curls with palms out, then 1 arm concentration curls, then hammer curls. You repeat the concentration curls 2 more times, but for the last exercise in the "tri-set" instead of hammer curls, you do normal bicep curls and bicep curls where you turn you arm in at the top. After biceps she work the forearms, forearm curls, wrist curls, and reverse wrist curls. I usually skip these and insert a few chest & back exercises which are not included in this workout. Lastly, it is triceps, you do lying tricep extensions first, then french press, kickbacks and the last exercise is lying close grip bench press which really works your triceps. There is also a brief warmup and cooldown.
Too fast paced for me
I've bought a few of Cory Everson's videos recently, this being one of them and I have to say that I was somewhat disappointed in this video as I found Cory doing her reps too quick for me to follow (actually this is my glitch with her in most of her videos) and I end up having to pause the tape so I can catch up with her.Read more

excellent workout
This is the best work out video I have ever used.I have used many including richard simmons, cathy smith, kathy ireland.And they do not compare.Cory is very motivational and keeps you going.I started doing this workout daily and I get so many comments on the way my shape is looking good.Even getting a six pack..YOU WILL LOVE IT....I will keep looking for more videos from Cory.

Excellent ab workout
I have an entire library full of exercise videos, and this tape by far has the best ab routine.I use the ab portion of this tape anywhere from 3-6 times a week, and I can still feel the burn during each workout. The glute portion of the tape works well, but the ab portion literally can't be beat. I highly recommend this tape for great results.

Uggggghhh, frightening....
I bought this tape as the first of Cory's tapes wanting to try a new instructor.Seeing the preview as part of theBody Vision series inspired me given Cory's reputation.I will just say, I don't think her strength is in the area of teaching fitness videos.I have been working out for over ten years and was previously a fitness instructor.I found this tape to have terrible organization.Choreography in terms of music is terrible if that is something that motivates you and the exercises are jerky and outdated.I would also have to say, after working out with Tamilee Webb for years and teaching as well, I find it hard to follow someone wearing evening length earrings and a "bumless" back to her outfit, for an exercise video...... ...

Great Video!!
I was given this video by one of my friends and didn't use it for a long time. Then I pulled it out one day to give it a try. It is one of the best workout videos I have. It doesn't require any major products and can be done in your basement. The video concentrates on using your own resistance and you can really FEEL the burn. The next day I could barely walk!! The video has a great warmup and cooldown and even though there isn't any cardio in it you really work up a sweat. I reccomend this video to everyone. Cory rocks!! ... Read more

Cory Everson's Total Body Workout
This video hit all the spots most women have troubles with. Cory's videos are really good. She's very positive. I weight train 4 days a week and do Aerobis on my alternating day's, this is a great alternating day workout. It is also good for beginer's. I'm a certified personal trainer and have been exercising for 17 years not to many workouts are really a challange, still looking for one . If you'll try this one you may like it, it's great for starters. Keep Moviated! Good luck!

Think twice about purchasing this video prior to viewing
This was the second of Cory's tapes that I have purchased and was equally if not more so, disappointed.Not having the opportunity to view it, I purchased it based on customer ratings from Amazon.If music and environment is important to you, this is not the right video.The music is not aligned at all with the movement, and either is her counting.Though there are five sections for a full body workout, the exercises are jerky and inefficient.There is no pre-instruction or notice prior to each exercise in addition to little to no safety in the movements or shifting from one to another.Though Cory's reputation with regard to her bodybuilding is well noted, I will not be purchasing any other tapes from her collection.It is the first "instructor of tapes I have noted, wearing evening gown length earrings in her workouts and she and the members of her training look more like first timers for the Playboy collection than serious and directed workout members.Their "bums" are bare for the workouts.All these factors combined, I find them more "show" than anything else.

The best workout video ever.
I am a jogger from Minnesota and I needed an exercise tape for inside when the weather prevents me from jogging. I have just placed an order for my second Cory Everson's Total Body Workout as I am fearful that my first onewill wear out. If inside exercise generally bores you to tears, Coryalleviates the problem.This is a fast paced workout with enough variety tokeep you entertained. She includes a warm-up and cool down, trouble zonetoning,strength training,step training and circuit training, everything awoman needs to maintain a healthy body in just one hour. It does require astep, for step aerobics, and hand held weights, but there are no gimics, noannoying music or irritating voices just a thoroughly enjoyable workout. ... Read more

A very good video for intermediate exercisers
With all due respect to Terri's review below, I have a question:Were we watching the same video? Cory has better videos than this one ...
I bought this video but ended up returning it.It's not for a home workout but more a gym tutorial.Plus it is not done in Cory's normal style. Sorry Cory...If you are looking for some really good tapes by Cory, I highly recommend these three:Cory Everson Get Hard - Arms and Shoulders; Cory Everson Get Hard - Abdominals and Glutes; Cory Everson's Total Workout.I use these three tapes weekly and am sore after each workout.

Surprisingly good
When I got this tape as a gift recently, I was somewhat reluctant because of the "80s" look of the video, figuring that it might be outdated in terms of proper form.However, I'm very pleased with the workout on this tape.It really focuses on pure muscle building and/or toning, and demonstrates how to alter each exercise based on the weight machines you have available to you (in my case, none... I prefer free weights at home, and it still worked great for me)Ignoring the clothes on Cory and friends, it's a very modern workout.I've since read some of Cory's books, and have come to be impressed by both her foresight and expertise on fitness issues, as well as become an admirer of Cory-Everson-the-person.She's a great role model! ...

Good Idea, Poor Execution
The concept of this step video is unique: the use of music and background images from different "eras" of rock music.This workout is divided into separate segments, each with a different theme such as "flower child" and "disco duck"(no hip hop or even 80s).Some of the moves incorporated in the combinations include the "airplane," "pony," "speed skater," "batter up," etc. Unfortunately, they do not use real music from these eras but generic techno music that remotely resembles the theme.The sections do not connect, but completely stop and then go into the next combo with new outfits, background, etc.The "unsafe" warm-up includes a move where you turn your knees in and out.I have a bad knee and definitely can say this move is not safe. I avoid it during the warm-up.There are two cool downs: one with "dog poo wipes" and "fire hydrants" that never seem to end, the other being a stretch. This is probably the worst step video ever!
I can only agree with the previous reviewer who advised to avoid this one.I think I purchased it and returned it to the store.It's been a couple of years since I did this video, but I still remember it as being awful.Cory's counting and cueing were off and many of the moves were unsafe.I would not recommend this tape to anyone!

Absolutely Horrible
To be avoided at all costs.There are so many good step workouts available- spend your money on one of them.The music is terrible, costumes are tacky, and the warm-up is unsafe. ... Read more

balanced, effective strength routine
The only reason this video didn't get 5 stars is the pull-up bar exercise that most home exercisers don't have.Other than that, it's really good.Cory does 3 or 4 exercises for each body part, with 2 sets of 12 reps each. Regarding the review above, there is no need to pause the tape and do morereps because you are supposed to choose a heavy enough weight that you willnot be able to do more than 12 reps.However, if you felt ambitious andwanted to do a third set you would need to pause (but I doubt you'll havethe energy).The entire sculpting series is excellent- her chest,shoulders, and triceps being the best.

Great video.
This tape really works specified areas. Cory only does 2-3 sets so you must pause the tape and do your own. Great tape to get started but exercise great for everyone. There is one exercise you do need a pull up bar forwhich I just to something else. Overall great work out. ... Read more

Disappointing,Waste of$!Exercises not as the title suggested
There are hundreds of fitness video targeting for thighs, butt, stomach but I couldn't find any tapes tagaretting on arms and chests. So I decided to order this tape from amazon at once. Not very useful for the at-home workout
I was disappointed with this tape.More than half of the exercises require a bench, which was not specified in the tape description when I purchased it.I did the whole workout, simply lying on the floor whenever Cory used the bench, but I did not feel that I got very much out of it.The triceps workouts were good (and do not require a bench), but if that is all you're looking for, I recommend trying something else.Also, the tape claims to be from 1995, but it looks more like it was produced in 1985.This tape is for people with a home gym or for those who go to a gym to workout.

Cory has better videos than this one ...

Unique Video w/ Separate Target Combinations
I admit, I wasn't sure about this video when I first tried it.She introduces moves by doing them half time (I never saw that technique before) and combines step with some seemingly light floor aerobics (dragging your foot doing the "attitude" step, etc.).I did not think it would give me a very good workout.Then I noticed how tired I was after working out to this video.I realized I was getting a great workout even if the moves seemed easy.What I like most about this video is that it is divided in several unique parts that focus on certain areas of the body (i.e. shoulders, thighs, back, triceps, etc.)Since there are so many completely different combinations, it does not get boring and I feel I'm getting a total body workout.The music and backdrop are a little weird (outer space scenes, etc.).Also, I'd be careful with the warmup.They do "bouncing" stretches which I've heard is unsafe (I just stretch out without the bounces).The ab routine could have been longer (that's often the case with step videos).I like the move they do for the sides of the abs.They lay on their sides and push themselves up into an arch.I've never seen that done before and it is highly effective. ...
