Certified instructor description: An exceptionally varied program that quickly advances from one exercise to the next. This program is a blend of classics and creative variations — from basic bridges and lunges to alternating-leg-extension bridges and lateral lunges with a medicine ball bounce. By combining innovative movements with body-sculpting classics, Keli works each muscle group in multiple planes, positions and angles (alternating the two target areas to avoid overstressing one body part). For even more variety, she also intermixes compound exercises and body-part isolations (e.g. working only the core or only the lower body). As usual, Keli’s cuing is detailed, clear and precise. Requires 3 to 5 lb. dumbbells and a medicine ball. ©2007. NOTE: Back cover information coming soon! DVD has: Chapter menus, Music only option.

30-Minute Breakthrough: Lower Body & Core

Meh!

I used to really love Keli Robert's Step workouts. I invested in the upper and lower body and core DVD's and while they are both really great routines the DVD quality sucks. The set design is so bad. It's hard for me to get into the workouts because of the poor recording quality and set design which is really distracting. If you can look past all of that then this is a very challenging and effective workout. I just have way too many great DVD's from Collage Video to bother much with these. Sorry Keli! I really wanted to like it! - posted by Kiesha on 6/8/2011

Didn't Like as much as the Upper Body

I'm giving this 4 stars because the exercises are very effective in of themselves. My issue is that while this is a good workout, it's just not a very imaginative one and by the third exercise I'm bored and wanting it to be over. I also get aggravated by the "traveling" lunges because no matter which way I turn in the room, I don't seem to have enough space. So little things like that have turned me off. It's OK, but not a fave. - posted by Sue on 5/12/2009

tough little workout

This was much tougher than I expected from an intermediate workout- tougher than others I've tried (Slim & Sexy, etc). I did this as a break from my normal heavy weight workouts and was happy to see enough reps of lunges, squats and bridges to feel the burn. Most of the corework was advanced and overall, this makes a great add on my rotation. It could be hard on your back and knees if you go too heavy in weight as this is more of functional based workout(but not so much so that it feels new agey). Keli has always been one of my favorite instructors and this workout is no different. The only thing I did not like was the set, it was rather ugly and cluttered. If you could switch the background with one of the Self or Gaiam workouts, it would be perfect. - posted by Patty on 3/11/2008

Pretty good

This is a good, although short, lower body workout. The core segments are okay - maybe good for overall core strengthening but less like "ab" work. The varied lunge segments are just long enough to get a burn going, but not so long that you're left thinking "when will this end?" The first time I did this workout, I was sore. Now, it's less intense for me, but still a good workout. - posted by Mel on 3/6/2008

Comments:

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

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.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Music only option

This feature allows you to play only the music, without any cuing (after you’ve learned the movements and you just want to do the workout without listening to the instruction).
