Excellent :->
By A24ZFFRQ4MG3XL on 2007-05-10
I really love this workout. It doesn't let up from start to end and it uses every kind of move you can think of to get great shape to your legs. There are moves lying down and standing up, with weights and without, pulsing, shorter moves; you name it - the move is here. Violet Zaki even does exercises for developing balance skills. She is a motivating instructor who has done other Self dvds. She cues well which I like because you know what to do and when to do it. She is outgoing without being overly so.
The other great thing about the dvd is the 'set'. It's outdoors (like some of their other workouts) and that is motivating in itself because it's sunny even if where you are is cold or wet. This will really challenge you and your muscles will be sore the next day or two. I believe it's worth it though because even though I've only done this three times, I feel as if I see a little more definition. It's great and I think it can deliver what the title promises.
One of the best!
By A3PFNIO5IU1BM8 on 2007-06-25
I tend to buy exercise DVDs based on totally exaggerated expectations and "blurred" reality and am quickly disappointed......until now!
I found this DVD accidentally and have to admit it's one of THE best cardio/leg DVDs I have ever done! I continue to feel motivated and each time I can push myself a little longer. Violet does an excellent job at stressing quality over quantity...going slower and doing the movements deliberately provides better results than quickly going through the motions just to get them over with. You also decrease the incidence of injury and strain by concentrating on each movement.
Another 'bonus' is that Violet incorporates a few minutes of stretching after strenuous reps which I find REALLY helps w/recovery. I don't feel like my muscles are going to cramp in the evening after the workout. I feel that I am not only developing stronger and toned legs and glutes, but leaner, limber muscles as well.
I have been doing Winsor pilates advanced up until now and really didn't feel challenged. I certainly do now! Now I just supplement with Winsor on days that I want to give myself a break.
I look forward to doing this DVD! It's actually fun!
Zaki is the best!

I just finished using this DVD for the first time and can honestly say this workout is terrific. I am very particular about which workout DVD's I use, unfortunately I have had a tendency of purchasing more than I really need, not enjoying them and then having to go through the trouble of selling them. I purchased this one simply based on the first review being positive and the fact that Violet Zaki is the instructor (her other fitness DVD's are great). I am very happy I did.
The length of the workout in total is 55 minutes, which is longer than I typically like for a DVD workout but can assure you the time is used wisely. I must warn you, though, there are a lot of reps and lunges, so if you are not a fan of either of those two things then this workout is not for you. However, the outdoor scenery is spectacular and Zaki's instruction is soothing instead of the typical "you can do it" cheesiness I find on many workouts, both of which help the time fly by. And her body is unreal! I hope that she is right in saying that I will see changes if I do this consistently for four weeks. If I can look even half as good and healthy as she does, then I am all about it!
OMG!

This is the only video that make me sweat like CRAZY! I saw results very quickly. It works your legs but also your butt and your arms. I love it!
Good intermediate workout
By AXTJJL7LINFY6 on 2007-12-29
This was a good intermediate workout, my only problem with it was that it required a lot of balance, and it wasn't quite hard enough for me. I thought that 51 minutes was just about right though. I also liked that the exercises were new variations on some old ones, so it kept me interested. The video was broken into 6 sections:
Warm-up
Legs without weights
Cardio
Legs and arms with weights
Floorwork
Cool down
The only equipment needed were a mat for floorwork, and 2-3 lb. weights. I would recommend this workout to anyone who is at a beginner to intermediate level. I wouldn't recommend this video to those who have problems with balance, it might be too frustrating.
- Not the greatest
By AXV7ICHOTS335 on 2007-10-08
Although this workout has a great outdoor setting, it was far from being one of my favorite workouts. The instructor wasn't very likeable and the workout wasn't very intense. It includes a lot of moves requiring you to do a significant amount of balancing (The instructor, in fact, keeps bringing this to your attention throughout the workout - telling you that if you lose your balance to keep trying it. Unfortunately, if you frequently lose your balance, you also lose the benefit of the exercise.) I made through about 25-30 minute of this dvd and then gave up on it. The next day I didn't even feel anything from it, whereas just 10 minutes of some of "the 10 minutes solution" segments were far more effective. I'd recommend one of those instead.
- A real butt kicker
By A1NN2TDB9NA9YB on 2007-07-29
I bought this dvd because I have thoroughly enjoyed Violet's workouts on Comcast on Demand. This one really put me to the test. I have been working out for a while - mostly Pilates and some weights but needed to step up my game. Well, I found it in this dvd. This is one of my three favorite exercise dvd's - the others being Mina Lessig, Tank Top Arms . . . and Pilates Sculpt with Tracy Work and partner. Once in a while I drag out Winsor Pilates Bun and Thigh Sculpt when I really don't feel like exercising.
- Best workout in a while
By A24JRXKTWOL4JB on 2007-08-06
If you can do squats and lunges, this is the workout for you. I have issues with my knees but when they don't bother me, doing this workout makes you sweat. If you're advanced, you'll still love it because it's a great cardio workout too.
- Violet does it again!
By A32UP97BE5B2R3 on 2007-11-27
Violet Zaki does it again- she's such a great instructor- one of my favorites- and this video is just as great as her others. I hope Self keeps making these videos with Violet. She has consistancy, great counting and motivation without being annoying, and creates great combinations to really work you hard. good music, lovely background and a great routine and instructor- what more could you want?
- Didn't Meet Expectations
By A26DZZYWPMIAMV on 2007-08-13
I ordered this after reading the great reviews and also because I wanted something specifically to work my legs. Unfortunately, I found it quite boring. Though lots of repititions can be key to success with working the legs, I have done other with a few less repititions and significantly more of a burn. Did end up sweating a bit and the instructor is pretty cute with her Australian accent, but my favorite strength and cardio workout video remains Cindy Crawford's Next Challenge Workout.
