The Original Buns of Steel: Intense Target Toning with Less Aerobics

It WORKS. IT REALLY REALLY WORKS.

This is one of the best exercise videos out there. It does exactly what it is you want to achieve to get those Buns of Steel. You have to be consistent. It's key!

Nothing compares to the results I get on my lower body than with this dvd! It’s tried n true! 2 hours a day at gym then 45 with this dvd gave me amazing butt and legs! If i had to choose buns of steel or gym well its buns for me!!!

I have watched this video (while doing the workout, of course) so many times over the years that I'm surprised the tape has not broken. I'm also kind of surprised that I have not memorized the workout by now...I lift weights at the gym, both free weights and on the machines, but nothing gives quite the same effects as this workout. If you skip over the aerobic workout at the beginning (and I do), it basically works out to 25 minutes of lower body work and maybe 5 minutes of abs. I rewind and do the ab section twice, then do another different ab video for 15 mins after this.When I start doing this tape after a fitness lapse, I do it without shoes on. As I get stronger, I put light sneakers on, then heavy sneakers. When I can do all the leg lifts without "feeling the burn" in heavy sneakers, then I put ankle weights on. Even at my most fit, when I am doing 20+ mile hikes at 10000+ feet altitude, I have never been able to do this workout with more than 3.5 pound weights on each ankle. So if the workout ever starts to feel easy to you, go get some ankle weights.This seems to firm and sculpt the muscles in my hips and upper thighs more than anything else. It's a terrific lower body workout. The 80s nostalgia is not lost on me either, and I still enjoy watching the people in the class grin when the instructor makes his dumb jokes. Over and over and over I have heard these dumb jokes, and I still like them. Not sure why.If I could have only one workout video, this would be it. No contest.

This was the first exercise video I ever bought (the year it was released) and it is still the best one out there, IMHO. I have a pretty big collection of exercise videos and this is still my favorite. I am now on my third copy because I love it so much. I stopped using it for several years and I grew saddlebags, so I remembered this tape and decided to see if I could find a copy and I am so glad I did.I always loved how Greg Smithey really kept you going with his cheesy encouragent and made me laugh and really enjoy the workout so I would get through the brutal tape! So many trends come and go with workouts and who buys a workout tape for style? Results are what matter, not fashion sense. I personally love 80s retro so it just makes it that much more fun to do it.I do yoga, pilates, taebo and this tape because of everything I have tried they consistently work for me. Every other tape or dvd sits and collects dust because they don't do it for me! Everytime I watch it,it takes me back to the 80s when I was a teenager using this tape and that helps motivate me to keep a teenaged figure and those buns of steel!I REALLY hope they put this on DVD someday and that Greg Smithey does his own sequels, but in the meantime I have had a friend make me one from this tape so I could travel with it.Pull out your headbands and work those buns!

Been waiting for this in DVD!

This us the best buns if steal their is i lost all my weight after each of my five children with this when i had the vcr tape . So glad to find it on a dvd now . I recommend for everyone this one does every part of the body

I bought this video based on the advice of a friend who absolutely swears by it. I found the floor excercises in this video to be way too hard on my middle-aged knees. Fortunately, this DVD lets you choose to do only the standing portion of the exercises. I definitely "feel the burn" after doing just the standing exercises, so I'm sure this DVD can work... I just don't enjoy it very much, so it's not going to be part of my regular rotation.
