The Science of Fitness with Tamilee - I Want That Body!

Classic 80s video, some easy to follow, yet different exercises— 15 minutes and I feel a difference right away. People are definitely noticing that I have been working out!Anyone that doesn’t want to hear the music, or sit through the intro/filler: you are watching a DVD. The player is not a modern device, but it does come with a remote if you want to fast forward or mute. 😂

This is one of my all time favorite workouts that I've had for years. I used to do it on a regular basis but have so many workouts that I have workout ADD. But no matter what new and shiny workouts attract my attention, this one remains a staple for me. I like that it can be done in a small space. I used to do it in a small section of my bedroom in my apartment when the living room wasn't available or I just wanted to be alone. The space is not an issue for me at this time, but just thought I'd mention it for someone who doesn't have a lot of space available to work out in.There are 2 levels each for abs, arms & buns (which is the section I like the best). So you're getting 6 separate 15 minute workouts, complete with short warm-up and short cool-down. The 2nd section of each category is the advanced version. I don't know how hard it would be for a truly advanced exerciser, because I've never been one. When I've been working out on a regular basis, I can do level two but when I've been slacking, I stick to level one. Especially for the abs, that one is tough and kills me every time. But then I've never enjoyed working my abs. None of the moves are crazy and are classics but they are sequenced in a way that is really effective. At the beginning, she says that the moves are all tested in a lab to determine which ones work the muscles the most. I believe her because I always feel it the next couple of days!Tamilee excels, to me, at working the buns. I usually use a step along with the workout because I feel it in my glutes more when doing the forward lunges and it feels better for my knees. During the back lunges, I stand on the step and step back off the step. I think the "Buns" section is the one I use the most.You can increase the weight because she doesn't move very fast but I think the highest I've used is 8 or 10lbs. I like the feeling of strength in my body using weights on a regular basis but if you are more concerned with visible results, don't worry you'll get them. This workout really firmed up my shoulders and arms and I found myself touching them a lot. And wanting to wear sleeveless shirts, go figure. It also flattened my abs (no six-pack though, I'll never work that hard or have low enough body fat, haha). It made my glutes rounder and more lifted. They grew too but squats and lunges always work that way for me, especially when using a step.Now that I think about it, I don't recall any focused work for the chest, back, hamstrings or calves. But I also do kettlebell workouts so the posterior chain is worked in those and I do vary my workouts anyway.I was already a fan of Tamilee Webb from Buns of Steel 3 and 4. I like her personality; she is not annoyingly perky or loud but is still friendly and encouraging. I will never, ever let this one go and if something happens to this DVD, I would definitely buy another copy.

I just received this DVD and have gone through the whole thing. It is divided into 3 workouts - Arms, Abs & Buns. Two 15 minute programs are offered for each of the three, with the second program being harder than the first. The DVD allows you to quickly select a program.A chair and hand weights are required for some of the programs.I have only had this a week and it has already replaced all of my other strength training videos. Tamilee Webb, as usual, has a very quiet and professional style which I prefer over the "cute" instructors. She reminds you about correct form, and is very easy to follow. The music in this DVD is unobtrusive. It's a very professional package and well worth the money.I have been working out for about 4 months, and consider myself to be at an intermediate level of fitness.I found the Arms segment to be quick but effective. The moves are simple, but really target the arms and shoulders. If it gets too easy - just move to a heavier set of weights.The Abs segment is also very effective. Both programs have some very difficult moves. Some of the moves are the classics, some are new. Program 2 concentrates more on the sides than Program 1, but all areas of the abs are worked in both.The Buns segment is very tough. I almost didn't even do that section. I am a serious bicyclist and don't really need to work my glutes. However, I had a tough time getting through the workout, and I really felt it the next day!

Who wouldn't want her body? She was amazing back then, and still amazing now. I remember her from the old Abs of Steel videos and decided to try this new DVD based on reviews. I like her presence. She is very upbeat and encouraging without being annoying. (I'm not a big fan of the Jillian Michael"s drill sergeant approach--just doesn't work for me).This video is amazing! I have been doing it just for two days and already see results. I like that you can customize the workouts. I do both abs programs and one arms and one buns for an hour total workout.The abs sections are killer!!! You will feel the burn and there are some new moves here to keep it interesting and challenging. Beware, there is some techno music in this one that sounds like an unhappy cat--it took me a few minutes to realize that it was coming from the DVD, and not outside the window.The arms sections are what I do at the gym anyway, just with a "trainer" in a structured way so it works for me. I found that having a variety of weights was helpful as some moves are harder then others.The second buns program was a little difficult for me to follow (I like program 1 better). I'm sure with repetition I'll get it down. The buns program works the legs in general including the thighs.Overall a fantastic DVD that delivers. I've done it twice and have already seen results and feel stronger. I can't wait to see what happens when I use it consecutively for awhile. Way to go Tamilee!

I purchased this dvd because of the reviews i read on amazon.com. SORRY I did that. Tamilee acts like we all have bodies like her now. She goes to fast and even though there are 3 different workouts, one for arms, abs and buns, you can't chose to do three in a row. You can do one and then go out and chose another and so on. It is just too much trouble and time consuming to workout with her. Not to mention the poor quality. This dvd sucks in my opinion. I hate that I wasted my money on this.Sorry Tamilee but you don't get my vote on this dvd.

My wife has had one of these for decades. She loves it. We were worried the overused disk would start to fail so we bought this one so when it does she will have a copy.

Two 15 minutes workouts for each body part: abs, buns, and arms. These are tough and they work!

It's awesome!!!
