| Outdated Look but Not Outdated Moves |
| Although I agree with other reviewers who said this should not be labelled an inter/advanced workout (it's definitely just intermediate), I find myself really liking this video. It's from 1991, so the music and sets (even the clothes) are just awful, but once I got past that I found myself really liking this workout. Karen Voigt is excellent in both cueing and in tips and advice she gives you to make sure you're getting the most out of "basic" moves. I purchased leg weights to make portions of this video more challenging. Overall I'd recommend it. - posted by Kat on 3/15/2004 |

| Those squats really work |
| Don't underestimate the effect of repetitive squats! Yes, it can be hard and slightly monotonous at first but you'll sure see your legs and buns to be tighter and stronger after just a few weeks of this well desighed workout. Karen is a hard worker and I always enjoy her encouragement and motivation throughout all of her videos. You can't deny the fact her workouts do help you shape your body and uplift your spirit! - posted by Ruth on 8/29/2003 |

| Squat your way to thigh burn |
| I really do like this tape. It's great for isolating the lower body. You do squats forever and then some work with leg weights. I'd say it's a tough beginner workout. For an intermediate exerciser, use it as a supplement to your cardio. - posted by Amy on 8/18/2003 |

| If you could only have one instructor I think that Karen Voight would be the one. She is so right on with her demos and and her cueing is the best I have ever experienced. All her videos are great. This one is better than the Firm fanny Lifter ones I think because there is less potential for injury and over development but if you like the Firm then you will like this as well cause it is the same kind of no nonsense back to basics approach to fitness. Tried and true exercises, most with a little twist that make them even more effective with no time wasting chatter done in a friendly, can do atmosphere. Karen's recipe for fitness wins the prize! - posted by the one! on 3/2/2003 |

| Yep another keeper from Karen Voight. She is so professional and is so able to give pointers that you can't help but get results. Her moves range from traditional to little tweaks on the traditional moves that make them oh so effective! There are lots of tips but not one wasted moment which I really appreciate. I am an advanced exerciser and I alternate this workout with Great Weighted workout on the days when I do not do yoga and it is perfect for getting just what you want, great looking long, lean, defined thighs without a hint of jiggle! - posted by yep she's the best! on 3/2/2003 |

| Too many boring squats! |
| Unless you are in love with doing squats, I would not recommend this tape. I found it very boring to do 101 different variations of squats for 1/2 an hour. I have Karen Voight's Great Weighted Workout tape, which I love, and I can't believe how much I hated this tape. - posted by Kristen on 6/24/2002 |

| Watch yourself |
| This is a great video for firming up your buns that's for sure. The only thing I don't like about this tape are the constant squats. For someone who has bad knees, this isn't for you. The floorwork however is great. I would be considered a beginner, and this video is really hard for me. The constant squats can really hurt your body if you aren't doing them right as well. - posted by JWS on 2/11/2002 |

| Superb lower body workout - NOT all squats |
| This is an outstanding workout for the lower body that I will always return to. It's a great respite from the Firm's tall box and delivers great results. What I particularly like (and refer to often)are the beginning form pointers Karen gives - NOW I really feel squats. Prior to this tape I was basically just bobbing up and down, evidently! I also like that the calves get full attention, something a lot of fitness videos lack, and the floorwork is excellent, of course. I have always viewed Karen Voight as a smart, gifted instructor and wish she would do another weight tape similar to this or Great Weighted Workout. Karen, you look great! - posted by Joanne124 on 11/12/2001 |

| Sixty-Minute Squats |
| I am a huge Karen Voight fan. However, I was extremely disappointed with this tape. It was not at all what I expected. This tape is without a doubt squats, squats, and more squats. I feel it was inappropriately titled. And even more disappointedly, Karen has gotten a terrible boob job! - posted by Radiance on 10/18/2001 |

| Another great workout from Karen Voight! |
| I love this workout! Karen works your legs and buns thoroughly with both traditional exercises and some new twists on old ones. The standing work using the step is outstanding! And it's great to have a tape that works calves! I definitely agree with the intermediate/advanced classification--if you're paying attention to form, you're going to get a great workout! - posted by gigi on 9/5/2001 |
