Certified instructor description: Shapes your entire body — not just your buttocks — with a graceful series of truly unique exercises. No “plain old squats” here; instead, nearly every fast-paced sequence features a completely new move or an interesting variation on a sculpting classic (e.g. a plank exercise with an in/out knee movement to work your glutes and hamstrings along with your abs). Not a lot of reps — Janis maximizes intensity with pulsing contractions, one-leg balance positions, large range-of-motion and multiple muscle-group combinations. Excellent cuing — clear, detailed and friendly. Requires 3 to 8 lb. dumbbells; ankle weights are also suggested. ©2001. DVD has: Narrow screen, Close captions.

Janis Saffell's Brand New Butt & More

Awesome Workout
This is one of my regular workouts. It is guaranteed to kick my butt and I'm sore the next day. The more you do this video the more it works. If you're not getting alot out of it, it's because you're not doing the moves right or you're not putting in any effort. I am a runner and do mostly cardio and my legs got cut up doing this video and I had great definition in my arms. The only thing I don't really like is amount of deadlifts you do and it is a little repetitive. Great video as part of your rotation if you're looking for a good toning video! - posted by LISA on 9/18/2008
Not for me
Don't get me wrong, Janis seems very nice. I only did the 20 min. floor portion and I didn't enjoy it at all! The positions were very awkward and uncomfortable and I didn't feel it it the right places. The ab sec which was too hard on my back. There was no stretch. Unless you count the ab section which I couldn't do and did not feel stretched out at all. - posted by jf on 4/12/2008
Pay attention to # of reps!
I would say I'm on the upper side of intermediate level if not advanced, and the first time I did this workout, I was pretty sore the next day (and a little weak that day) because it works my muscles differently than a lot of my other workouts. But I noticed that I felt more sore on one side than the other. About the second or third time I did this I discovered why when I counted the reps she has you do - completely lopsided for some exercises! All in all though I would say that if you just keep that in mind this is a worthwhile workout. - posted by Rachel on 4/8/2008
Great Toning Video
I got this video quite some time ago and still find myself coming back to it. It is not in my "regular" rotation but I still use it often. I enjoy Janis' workouts. Her bubbly and sunshine-y personality is awesome and what I need to get through a work out. This is a great workout because it tailors to all fitness levels. If one is just starting out, he/she can use 2-3 pound weights, more advanced can use heavier weights OR the ankle weights/or weight belt. I like to do both segments, the standing legs and floor combined workout but a person can one or the other. I really enjoy this workout! :) - posted by TR on 2/11/2008
calorie burner!
This is an excellent video for toning areas that many other videos seem to spend less time on. There is plenty of cardio to keep your heart rate up, but you will also be toning your arms, shoulders, and back throughout the workout. Janis Saffel is fantastic at cuing, so if remembering the routines is difficult for you, you can trust her to break it down. I'd recommend this one! - posted by Amie on 1/15/2008
Long and oh so boring
Did this workout once a few months ago and haven't touched it since. It is long and boring and I didn't get enough of a workout to justify the amount of time I spent doing it. Would only recommend if you have enough time and want to spend it working more secondary muscles that other workouts might not target. - posted by Krista on 8/31/2007
Simple and Excellent!
This is an excellent all over body toner. I am drenched at the end of the workout. I am fit and work out 5x a week if not more. It is repetitive, but it goes fast, so not boring. There are a lot of dead lifts, and this MUST be done correctly to be effective and show results. I see a lot of people do this wrong. I rotate or in conjunction with Jari Loves Get Ripped to the Core another fabulous all over toner. - posted by Lee on 8/8/2007
Not Very Challenging
Nothing about this DVD is advance. I would rate it more on the low end of intermediate. It is very repetitive and not much of a challenge. Between Janis' silly giggling and the weird clothing choices I found the whole thing a waste of time. - posted by Brenna on 7/25/2007
still a great video
I got this years ago when it first came out- At the time it had a huge dread factor-it seemed both really hard and repetitive. But I grew into it and it is still in my rotation.I really like Janis-her sunny personality and her creative choreography. This one still packs a punch and you will feel it the next day. - posted by trish on 5/27/2007
I enjoyed it!
I like this video as I usually do Jari Love's Get Ripped workouts and this was nice for a change. I was really sore the next day in my quads, chest, and core especially. The only thing I did not care for is the deadlifts with the leg behind you. What is that I felt like it did absolutely nothing for me and yes, I kept good form. But the rest I liked and would recommend it. - posted by Shelly on 5/18/2007

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
