Certified instructor description: Three lower-body-focused aero/tone interval workouts. They get progressively more challenging, so you can smoothly advance to the next level as you get stronger. The cardio segments are non-stop fat-burners; they include high-impact moves like "star jumps," "scissor lunges" and "power jacks." The toning segments are equally intense; they feature classic buns/thighs exercises like squats, hydrants and side lunges. All the workouts are short, but exceptionally varied -- you get 8 to 10 different exercises in each circuit (plus within-circuit level modifications and even some "bonus" balance moves). As always, Jillian's cuing is both clear and relentlessly motivating ("I want your quads to be burning!"). Requires 5 to 10 lb. dumbbells. ©2011. DVD has: Spanish option, Wide screen, Close captions, Region 1.

Jillian Michaels' Killer Buns & Thighs
BUNS AND THIGHS FOR SUMMER!!!! LOVE IT!!!
This video rocks! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I cannot say it enough. I saw results right away and love the way she maps each level. I get bored easily and she keeps you moving so quickly that I look forwarded to doing the video! I always HATED my legs and hated bathing suit weather…this summer I will love my legs first time ever!!!! - posted by Mary on 5/8/2012

Good Workout
I love Jillian workouts and this one didn't disappoint me. I did workout's 1&2 but am afraid to do 3. I was so sore from the other workouts I am afraid of 3. I consider myself an advanced exerciser and it challenged me. It is a great workout for the price, another reason I love Jillian's DVD's. You won't be disappointed. - posted by Dawn on 4/28/2012

Great BUT . . . .
This is certainly an advanced workout and it makes you sweat - a lot! The only negative is that you have to put a lot of stress on your arms and wrists so if you have any ulnar nerve or carpal tunnel problems you'd probably need to substitute another exercise for those. Also the warm-up for level 2 goes right into rather hard exercises so it's best to do your own warm up before. But, this is still a great work out and I only mention the above for those of us "older", 50 and over workout enthusiasts. - posted by Bonnie on 4/27/2012

Killer buns & Thighs dvd
Killer Buns & Thighs. This is an awkward workout. It only shows how to work one side of the body, and what happens with the other side? Every workout changes positions to the other side to work both sides. - posted by Gracie on 4/12/2012

Reassuring, challenging and inspiring
I've been regularly doing levels 1, 2 and 3 for over a month now but today completed the three levels in succession and found I wasn't as wasted as I thought I'd be. When I'd first done level 1 I found it challenging and was sore the day after ... but ... most importantly I was impressed and reassured by the sequence of Jillian's routines. She knows what she is doing and I love her for it; thank you, Jillian! Movements like balancing sequences and squat jumps can be so very demanding but are immediately followed by something that allows recovery and yet keeps one on the move. Through this video I feel I can trust Jillian and now have on order 3 others. Furthermore, the work out is challenging enough to make me feel that by doing it each morning, I begin the day making a commitment to face any challenge that may come my way. I am in my mid 50s, a woman, and have found that I'd gained 10 kilos over a 6 month period. - posted by Oreah on 3/25/2012

AWESOME!!!!!!!
I love this workout. Its only 30 min. each session but you can definitely feel the burn. I also love Jillian Michaels. She's in great shape and the other lady's in the video are to so it's motivating to think you will look like that hopefully one day. - posted by Carol on 3/14/2012

Keeper
The work out is short and effective for the days time is limited. This is my first Jillian dvd. A little annoying at first, but found i liked her by the end of the dvd. - posted by karen on 3/6/2012

Favorite
I've been doing Jillian workouts for couple years now. This is my new favorite, great lower body workout, definitely recommend!! - posted by Patti on 2/27/2012

Tough on Knees
I love Jillian's workouts, have them all and her personality doesn't bother me, but level 2 has alot of moves that are unique and could be effective, however they were hard on my knees! I only do advanced workouts (cathe, etc.) and know about proper form, and have never had any knee issues, however after doing that workout my knee was in pain for weeks. With so many workouts she releases I'm sure Jillian is trying to be creative, but her workouts are getting a little unsafe for me. Level 1 was okay but didn't make it past level 2, and wouldn't even think about level 3 due to the issue with my knee. I'll stick with Jillian's ab workout and anything she put out prior to that. - posted by Ericka on 2/12/2012

Tough on your butt, but also your knees and back!
I've tried all 3 workouts on this DVD, and they're all pretty good, tough workouts. Even the easiest one you can make harder depending on your own energy level. Jillian is pretty goofy on this DVD, which is fun, but a little distracting at times. Also, all 3 workouts from beginning to end are about 41 minutes, not the advertised 30 minutes. If you have sensitive knees or lower back problems, I would recommend watching the workouts first before you do them to make sure you don't end up trying a move that could exacerbate or cause more injury. There's a lot of challenging balance moves that I would recommend going slower on to make sure you maintain good form and not hurt your back. She doesn't cue well for that, so be careful! - posted by Andrea on 2/5/2012

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.

Spanish option

In addition to English, you can choose to hear the program in Spanish.

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

Region 1

This DVD is designed for US and Canadian DVD players. It will NOT play in most foreign country players.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning

Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
