Self Magazine: Sculpt Sexy Legs Fast! |
  Great Workout |
| This workout is extremely varied and fun to do.. the moves are interesting ~ not just plain old squats and lunges. The floor work is great, I really felt the burn and I consider myself lower-advanced level. You get a little bit of shoulder and tricep work in too, which is nice. Recommended! - posted by April on 9/23/2009 |

| Okay For A Light Workout |
| If you are looking for something to do on a light day, this is it. I am suprised that it is rated inter/advan. Violet is, as always, enjoyable but once again she just doesn't challenge. I kept thinking the workout would become more difficult but it never happened. There are so many other DVDs to choose from that really challenge the intermediate/advance exerciser. - posted by D.M. on 3/30/2009 |

| Wonderful Workout! |
| I did this one for the first time today, and I loved it. It was strenuous but invigorating, and even where I couldn't quite master a movement or two, I knew I'd be able to do it with more practice. (Sometimes it was just a matter of getting the arms and legs coordinated.) The only things I was uneasy about were some of the jumps and jacks, which I'm not supposed to do much of because of my bent spine. But I found that I actually could do more of them than I thought, without any bad effect, and where I knew I shouldn't do any more, I modified to bounces instead of coming off the floor. I really appreciated the upper body involvement, too, and the concentration on balance. In fact, I'm going to use some of the balance exercises along with a couple of my other workouts. Violet Zaki is a great instructor, very motivating and so good at cueing that I can keep doing some of the exercises without even looking at the screen. I'd done her Weight Loss Cardio Sculpt before, and loved that one too. Both workouts are going to be part of my weekly routine. - posted by Phoebe on 2/16/2009 |

| Fast Paced and Felt It |
| After a medical condition, I hadn't gone to the gym or worked out in 4 months. I finally got motivation to work out and grabbed this dvd (I won it a couple months back)and I really felt it. I kept looking at the clock trying to find out when my 55 minutes of sweating were going to be over (I HATE working out), and it was over pretty quickly. I liked that we were constantly changing the exercises, not like a routine where you have to learn these few steps and then add on to them. Time flew, and I can tell you my face was bright red and I was tired! By dinner time, I felt sore in all the right places, which means I knew this one works! - posted by Jessica on 1/15/2009 |

| Very Challenging and Fun Workout |
| I love this workout! I think it is challenging enough for the intermediate exerciser. I was drenched in sweat after completing this workout. The exercises are unique and interesting enough that they kept my interest for the whole 50 minutes. It is a very varied routine. I would highly recommend this workout! - posted by Lisa on 6/4/2008 |

| LOVED IT!! |
| I loved everything about this dvd. I like Violet as an instructor, she cues well and is quite easygoing. The scenery was beautiful and there was no dread factor. I really felt this in my entire lower body and I am advanced..very well done and I'm glad I bought it! - posted by Susan on 11/12/2007 |

| IT'S OK |
| it's ok but not so hard for an advanced exerciser. when i use it i add unkle weights to increase the difficulty level, but there are other shorter dvds that accomplish more in less time. it's ok for the days you don't want to work so hard - posted by MARIA P. CYPRUS on 11/2/2007 |

| You need to be flexible for this workout |
| I am not very flexible in my hammies, so I couldn't touch the ground on some of the moves, so I modified. A good overall workout for the legs that's easy to follow. - posted by Barbara on 10/25/2007 |

| Definitely not for the beginner or those with injuries! |
| Good workout. I'm definitely feeling all those squats and lunges. There's a lot of lunging and plyometric work, so if you have a knee injury, this might not be for you. Unfortunately there is no one to show you how to modify the exercises, a big negative in my book. But Violet is likable and cues pretty well, and the scenery is pretty. - posted by Lara on 9/18/2007 |

| an effective, fast moving workout, well led, nice scenery |
| I really feel this workout today after completing it yest. afternoon. My kness did not hurt at all during the workout and eventhough there are lots of squat and lunges, knees are fine today too. Be sure you DO the strectching, all of it! I am very tight in hamstrings today. Did my typical curves workout post DVD and found range of motion better on their machines. An effective workout, well led and good variety of moves. - posted by kelly on 7/4/2007 |
