Tough workout -- especially on your back

"I did this workout religiously for several months. I really loved it at first. It got my heart pumping and really worked my legs. I was sore every time.

Then I developed lower back problems. I doubt that the workout caused the problem (at least not directly), but after every workout, it definitely contributed to the pain. This workout consists nearly exclusively of squats and lunges, which -- as my physical therapist explained to me -- compress the spine. That translated to wicked low-back pain.

I also imagine this isn't a great workout for those with weak knees. Tamilee gives fine instructions, but she moves so quickly in the squats and lunges that it's just flat-out tough to make sure your knees aren't going past your toes and you're not overextending your back.

I still give the video 3 stars because I really loved it at first, it got me motivated to exercise and I definitely felt results. Just BEWARE if you think you might be prone to back or knee trouble, and avoid this disc if you are."

Effective and creative workout!

"Tamilee Webb has done it again! This workout has very unique moves which I have not seen in any other exercise video (and I have a huge collection). I was at a weight loss plateau (after losing 25lbs post-pregancy)and after doing this DVD for one week I lost three very stubborn pounds. If you are an advanced exerciser, you can use a step bench to increase the intensity(modifications at all levels are shown), but it is not required. The workout is not Tamilee's usual one-on-one style, she has two younger women doing the routine with her. In the DVD she says that one is "in her 20's" (tall & lean), the other is "in her 30's" (short and muscular) and then there's Tamilee who says she is "in her 40's" but with her tight body (complete with the requisite belly ring!)she would put most high school girls to shame. By the way, there is a 10 minute abs section which you will feel the next day. The sound quality is very good, and the music is the typical pulsating aerobic dance style. I will continue to make Tighter Assets a part of my new morning routine because it is so fun and effective."

Great fitness DVD

"I would consider myself an intermediate or advanced level in step aerobics. I was skeptical of a 30 minute workout because I wasn't sure it would be intense enough for me to feel as though I got a high quality workout. This workout is awesome! I guarantee you'll be working those muscles and burning fat and SWEATING by the time you are done. It is a fun workout, but you will definitely feel it the next day. I do the 30 minute workout and follow immediately with the "special feature" 10 minute abs routine at the end. The first time I did this extra abs routine I couldn't even finish it! But, I quickly built up my strength and it is now one of my favorite ab routine around. I highly recommend this fitness DVD! Plus, you just have to love Tamilee, don't you?!"
