20 Best Lower Body Workout Dvd (2023 Updated)

This is my absolute favorite video! I don’t understand why so many people are complaining about this video. It works! You really do get your heart rate up, and I feel very relaxed afterwards. I love Denise Austin! She’s a very sweet person and she’s really motivating.

She really does care that you get in shape and she gives you good information. My legs are more toned than ever and the last part with the ball is really great for my waistline. I have Winsor Pilates, The original Susan harris Firm workout,taebo.

nothing compares to this video! I’m definitely buying more Denise pilates/yoga tapes and I tune into her morning show. Get this video, you won’t regret it!.

This is helping my 42 year old a$s with bad hips and back get a good core workout. Once you get the moves and flow down, she can be muted! Not that she is annoying, I just prefer my workout music to keep me in flow!!! It’s a great addition to my 5- 7mile walk!.

It is the first yoga/work out DVD that I owned. The first 45 mins are yoga workout without any accessories. The next 15 mins need balancing ball. It is a fast moving workout with sun salutation between warrior series, balancing tree pose variation and some twists.

She does not say the next moves all the time, so If I’m not looking at the TV or when Im on downward facing dog I can miss the next step. Also they turn quite a bit during the series, eg, one round of warrior series and turn 45 degrees to to do the next set and the orientation of the room, when they bend down to do the dancer pose Im not sure if they are bending straight down or slightly to the left/right.

I’m nit-picking, all in all it is a very good DVD and look forward to buying more yoga DVD from her.

I did assume this DVD, AeroPilates Total Body Tone and Lengthen included exercises using the Pull Up Bar Accessory as shown on the cover. It does not. That aside, this is 3 sets of exercises on 1 DVD.

Upper Body, Lower Body and, Core. Each is approximately 30 minutes long. Having owned 2 Pilates machines for many years (purchased here), I think it’s fair to rate this DVD as Intermediate. I do think it’s a nice transition from a Level One or Beginners AeroPilates program.

The Rebounder is not used frequently. Each of these 3 workouts do provide terrific core workouts. Simply, more focus on the area of the body that each workout is titled. This DVD does not require other Pilates accessories i.

e. , Pole/Box, Magic Circle, Pull Up Bar, etc. You will switch out the foot bar for the rebounder. If you’re uncertain of your Pilates model number: there are 2 places to find it according to Stamina.

Mine was not on the frame but, underneath the plastic platform rest. I only mention this if you decide to purchase the Pull Up Bar Accessory as, I did.

I bought this on another site and returned it. I had to pause the video to change cords and equipment, and I found the counts were inaccurate and the reps were too fast. The video was just too expensive to be worth it—it wasn’t that the workout was challenging, which I don’t mind at ALL, it was the disjointed and rushed nature of the narration and workout.

I have lots of professionally produced DVDs and am a subscriber of John Garey’s, and I think I’ll stick with those! It’s a pity, because I enjoyed her intro videos that came with my reformer.

I bought the 3 videos with high expectations and they have been fulfilled. Marjolien and Skylar work so well together and I love the dialogue about the exercises between them. I was getting a little bored (and so was my body) with the same exercises that I have done for the last decade.

These 3 videos have set fitness and endurance goals for me and I am absolutely thrilled to have them to do every day. Thank you both. You are a credit to Stamina.

This dvd is just “ok”. I’ve only done the first half (haven’t made it to the 2nd half yet as I just started it). I don’t really think it has a lot of structure to it. I feel like Jillian just “hops around” to each segment too fast.

She’s up, then its on the floor, then it up again etc. etc. Its easy enough to keep up with, but I kind of feel like even the person she has there showing how to the do the “modified” version is still doing what Jillian is doing.

I don’t feel like its a truly modified version. Guess you have to be the judge for yourself. But for me, it was just simply average. I could take it or leave it really.

I’ve been doing kettlebell over 7 years and I’m always looking for new moves. I saw this on sale at Walmart and took it for a spin. I did the first set of moves and except for 1 move, the rest didn’t impress me and I quit using it.

Trying to substitute dumbbells for kettlebells is mixing apples and oranges. Dumbbells affect 1 body part while Kettlebells affect the entire body. You’re using gravity with Kettlebells and it makes such a difference.

Do NOT get dumbbells, just start with a smaller weight. If you want a real workout, look for Art of Strength-especially their Kettlebell Clinic DVD. There you learn how to do kettlebells with proper form and LOTS of help.

If you’re an advance KB user, don’t waste your money on this DVD.

I just started working out with a kettle bell at home and thought who better to train with then Jillian? I am so happy with this DVD it is my favorite Jillian Michaels workout. It is fun to do and I definitely feel the burn.

There’s 2 levels but even with level 1 you can advance to using a heavier weight before moving to level 2.

I got this for my husband who has really bad arthritis. I have arthritis too. Theses excerises are harder than they look. It really work my fingers and other arthritic joints.

Love the SIT AND BE FIT DVD. Very informative about taking care of the body to live a long and productive life. Easy to exercise by for seniors, not harsh on the joints, but to help the mobility of the body.

I would recommend this DVD TO ANYONE. THE PRICE IS RIGHT, AND THE BENEFITS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD.

I thought this was expensive for what you get. It was only one episode which is about 18 to 20 minutes if that long. It got boring to do that one over and over.

I use this DVD every week. It’s great. Denise has a kind, relaxed way of leading a workout. It’s not too strenuous and focuses on toning. You can split the workouts into body areas you want to work on: abs/core, upper body, lower body.

When I don’t have time or a lot of energy for a long workout, I still feel like I got some movement and toning in by doing this. You only need a chair, light dumbbells and a mat or towel. Very budget-friendly.

Big love to Denise.

I love Denise Austin workouts and this one didn’t disappoint! It’s fun, upbeat and easy on the joints, while still providing a great workout.

Love the DVD, however the plastic case was crushed into many pieces and was unusable. Had to get another case to house it in. Perhaps the packing could have been more protective with bubble wrap or something like it.

Used to workout with her original and her stepper. Just did her 50 minute EASY GOING and I recommend that video first if your just getting back into aerobics. Was a very nice workout video, will do this one for a month and then move on to another in her collection.

It’s been probably over 20+ years since I have done any exercise and am glad I started back up. FEELS GREAT AND I AM IN WORSE SHAPE THAN I THOUGHT LOL! Thank you Jane for this DVD COLLECTION SET! I am 48 if anyone is wondering 5’6 and 121.

6 pounds. If I can do it than so can you, trust me! 2 neck surgeries and laziness put me out of shape. I don’t consider her videos hard even after 20+ years but I can feel what I haven’t used in 20+ years.

Highly recommended this video set, 2 10 pound weights, a mat and a stepper.

Videos are wonderful for all ages. Also for those who need to get back to floor exercises, like me after battling knee injury and sciatic nerve. Great routines for those needing too get back to exercising.

I give a thumbs up. Enjoy, I know I will.

I loved these in the 80’s and I’ve always wanted my own copies but could never find them. Now I’ve got my own DVD versions and I couldn’t be happier. There are fitness programs for different fitness levels so it’s great for everyone.

Jane Fonda was, and still is, the Queen of Fitness and everyone knows of the Jane Fonda Workout. It’s legendary.

The workouts on this DVD are very thorough and work all the muscles of the body. I am at the intermediate level in Pilates and have my own home reformer which I love. These workouts are perfect to do occasionally or every day.

The only problem I had is that the flow is just a little too fast. There is no time to change springs or position from one exercise to the next. I like that I can do a workout in 30 min but just a few more minutes would help with the transitions.

We are senior who need to use this type of low impact video. It has been a good workout for both of us as it has 2 different CD’s to use and there are bonus segments in it too. It was in excellent condition, like new when it arrive also.

I bought this to use with my skilled nursing residents. For a DVD that is titled “Sit and Be Fit” there sure is a lot of standing. Most of my residents are wheelchair bound, so I can’t use about half of the material on the DVD.

If you or your residents are able to stand, it is a decent product. I’m just disappointed because I thought I was getting two DVDs entirely of chair exercises and that is not what I received.

This is a workout for anyone. If you have a disability or are just not up to a hard workout on your feet it is perfect. Mary Ann Wilson makes it fun and uses some good music which makes it more enjoyable.

I did work up a sweat so don’t think you will just be sitting still. I hope to use this to work my way up to a regular exercise routine.

Although I myself have not tried her DVDs yet, my daughter has been faithfully using the program. She has done cardio kickboxing daily. It is very hard at first, so expect that you may not last more than a few minutes.

My daughter’s results in 4 days were unbelievably awesome! Her inches dropped and she appears to have lost weight, even though she weighs the same. So toning does make a difference in your appearance.

Also, her muscles firmed up quite a bit in that short amount of time. Used faithfully, this DVD set will work wonders on your body. It is just like being on the tv show “Biggest Loser”. You will get the same results she gave those contestants.

You think ’30-Day Shred’ is tough? Well then, give THIS workout a try! IT IS ROUGH! To say that it’s FAST-PACED would be an understatement! Jillian is calm now compared to when she put out THIS workout (2005)! Think Jillian – highly caffeinated – now try to keep up! Wow! I just got it last Friday, so I’ve watched all the workouts, but have only done ‘Cardio Kickbox’ so far.

OMG! I did it yesterday and my shoulders are ON FIRE today! Thanks, Jillian! You are THE woman!.

Jillian Michaels is my workout hero! last summer i was in the best shape i have ever been in because i used her book “Making the cut” and it kicked my butt and i loved it. this summer im using these DVD’s and so far it’s amazing.

right when i start to think about taking a quick breather she starts yelling at us to keep it going, dont stop now! and its at the right time. im feeling better already, more energy and starting to see some results, i love it! i would recommend these DVD’s and ANY other Jillian Michaels workout anything to ANYBODY! it’s a great buy!.

I like the Kickboxing style generally and this DVD gives four 10 minute sessions of that. I add a session or two at the end or beginning of a longer program to fill out an hour. The moves appeal to me.

They are easy and effective. The more energy you give the bigger the return. I would suggest anyone at any level could use these. Very useful addition to any exercise library.

I love kickboxing and this provides an effecient, effective workout for days when I don’t always have 30 or more minutes. It also comes in handy when you’re on trips where there’s no workout room. Jessica Smith uses weighted gloves, but I start with no weights, so as to maintain form.

Once I get confortable with the moves, I will add weight. Try it. You won’t regret it.

You wouldn’t think that 10 minutes could do much for you but this workout will. You’ll feel the burn in your lower body while shaping up. If you aren’t in great shape, you WILL be breathing heavy and you WILL be drenched in sweat when you’re done with one 10 minute session.

Some are a little easier than others. If your looking to tone up and lose weight, this DVD will help you do it. I think that you’d have to do more than one session a day. 2-3 sessions/day on 4/5 days per week should do it.

Good luck with your tone up and weight loss goals!.

Love this workout! It’s a bit more challenging than some of Gilad’s other beach workouts. The weights add alot to the routine and you really feel it after! This would be best for someone who’s already in moderately good shape.

The beach background just makes it so much more enjoyable!.

As far as the video, I loved it, but it would just freeze up therefore ending my workout. I watched Gilad for years every afternoon on Fit TV so I was very disappointed when it was taken off and was so hoping that this video would prove to get me back in my old habits of working out each night but couldn’t workout when it froze up on me.

I considered ordering another one but was afraid that it would also be defective.

Glad to get more workouts with Gilad, my fav. Videos seemed to be “spliced”, and doesn’t finish each excercise he starts, but still worth the money. Great condition, arrived promptly.

I stated out with the basic Simply Fit video that came with the board. It was a very good effective workout. My friend lost 40 pounds in 3 months. I gained muscle mass and became nicely toned. Felt GREAT! We were doing the entire 60 minute w/o.

Then we decided we needed a challenge and went with this SF Board 21 Day workout video. The nutrition part is more common sense, but well explained, and that wasn’t our focus. But the 30 minute workout-incredible!! Fast, with rests in between.

Rosalie is a terrific and fun motivater. My Fitbit registers 5,000 steps and heart rate goes up to 130 or more. My friend and I have fun, laugh, sweat and are feeling great and energized after the routine.

Also includes before and afters of the challenge team. Inspiring. :-).

This is definitely a low impact workout. I soon learned the DVD that comes with The Simply Fit Board is all I needed. This DVD did help me establish balance the first couple of weeks I had my board so for that it was helpful, but I haven’t used it since then and I could have made it just fine with only the DVD that is included with the board.

I did loan it out to another fit board owner and they VERY soon after returned it. Bed bath and beyond did include an easy return method but I did chose to keep the product. Bed Bath and Beyond is a GREAT place to order these products from!! Amazing return policy!!!.

Exercise and low cholesterol meal plan is key to weight loss. Thanks to exercising and physician recommended low cholesterol meal plan, Im reducing my high LDL cholesterol, BMI, weight and making healthier lifestyle choices.

The Tone Ups DVD is awesome, because it makes it easy to fit exercising into a busy schedule. I will never get bored with the workouts, because I can always mix and match the various workout routines.

Glad I chose this product!.

I really like my tone up DVD. At first I was skeptical, but after working out with this weight watchers DVD I was surprised. If you do it everyday it does work. I enjoy working out with it.

I am very pleased with this workout video. I like that it gives you three levels of intensity to use during the workout. It offers six 10 minute workouts, so you can be flexible and choose one or two or do all six.

After working out to Total Body Sculpt on Fit TV I saw good results. In a short time I had noticeable stronger muscles–got me hooked. I like how there is a good warm-up followed by lower body, then upper body, abs, and cool down/stretching in each 20-25 min session.

Owning the DVD makes it so I can continue my workouts without paying for cable tv.

First class workout. The targeted areas get me and my friends to “hurt City” on a regular basis. But what can you say about training fifty year old bodies? If you want a good workout this one is for you.

So glad I bought 3 more of these. Never disappointed with Gilad workouts

This workout DVD offers upper body, cardio/dance, and lower body workouts that can be done all in one session, or you can choose to do them in parts. The time varies for each part. Part 2 (Cardio/Dance) is the longest at 30 minutes.

The only issue with this DVD is the sound. It cuts out at the beginning, in the intro of the DVD, and then comes back on somewhere during Part 2. Subtitles are available, though, so that helps! It is a nice, challenging workout!.

This is one of the DVD’s I have been looking for to replace my old VCR tape. Walmart has them!! They are brand new! Sold and shipped by Walmart. That is all I trust! The best price too!! So glad after all these years to have my original Jane Fonda DVD.

I have always loved Jane Fonda’s workouts on VHS. I was so glad I could find them is DVD. They are even better than the one I already had. Great product.

Trying to lose the weight from medication. My sister is coming for a visit and she does Pilates and Yoga. I now have several options to view.

This is a really good low impact effective work out. I ve been using Denise videos over 20 years and they are still fun, easy and effective. So glad i was able to find a really good one.

Denise Austin is my go to authority, she has been around for years! I even was in one of her books. I love to use her dvd’s a few times a week. The best part of her dvd’s is that she is enthusiastic, she believes that anything is possible.

I would recommend this dvd and several others.

I bought this DVD about 6 months ago and had only used it TWICE, last time being 4 months ago and I work out regularly 4-5 times each week. I recalled that I didn’t quite like it and that was why it was passed over each time I chose a workout to do.

I have 23 Firm Workout tapes and DVDs (and another on the way)plus countless others and always seem to enjoy the workout I get from the Firm DVDs. There was only one that I considered a total waste of my time and this one ranks second from the bottom.

Yesterday I decided to give this DVD another try. It’s not as strenuous a workout as some of the others but it’s the instructor that I find hard to follow. With some of my favorite Firm instructors, such as Allie, Emily and Kelsie, it is not even necessary to keep your eye on the TV as their cuing is so good.

Allie and Kelsie are especially good at cuing and as a result, I purchase any workout DVD of which they are the instructors. With this DVD, the cuing was so poor that I found myself stopping and then trying to catch up.

It shouldn’t be necessary to always watch the TV when working out. Just the verbal cues will do to allow one to keep up. And I agree with another reviewer in that the Instructor’s voice is so very monotone.

definitely not a motivation. Needless to say, I will not purchase any future Firm DVDs with this featured instructor.

This was a very good DVD. Nice music that is motivating, great instruction and easy moves. This is a very good intermediate workout. You can make it as challenging as you want, just add more weights or slow it up if your a beginner and you can grow with this.

I am a fan of the older workouts, but this is a nice change and it is challenging, so I’m very happy with it. I really like Rebekah Sturkie, she is easy to understand and easy to follow. I highly recommend this workout.

I have bought so many workout videos and just didn’t like them. My friend told me about The Firm. I initially bought Tight Buns and Killer legs and LOVED it. I bought this one a couple of months later.

I really like the instructor although the girl you follow if you’re a beginner is a bit irritating. Rebecca, the instructor is great. It’s a good overall workout. My arms are toning after just a couple of weeks.

The cardio part is hard to keep up with, but that’s always been difficult for me. The toning portions ROCK! I highly recommend this and think it’s worth being in your collection, although it isn’t my favorite (just because the cardio moves change too quickly for me).

I have always liked working out with Denise Austin. This DVD is a well rounded workout. I love it! This is one thing that I am not impressed with, the power band. This is a bonus item with the dvd. It is required for the workout.

The band is cheap and sticks together. You can get a resistant band at a local store for about $5. 00 to $8. 00 that will work just as good. All in all this is a great workout!.

I loved this product because the exercises are easy to do for the average person but at the same time challenging enough to give you results. Denise Austin encourages you and makes you want to continue exercising.

This DVD includes a cardio exercise to do three times a week and a strength training segment to do the other two days a week. Purchased new it comes with a bright resistance band as well. The only thing I would caution buyers about is that it does have some sequences in it that if you’re not very coordinated it could be tricky.

The sequences are pretty basic though. I highly recommend this product to anyone and am very satisfied with my purchase.

Its a good, all over workout. The cardio isnt too difficult. The second half, which uses the band more, is a good workout. The band wasnt strong enough. I bought mine here, used, so the band may have been used, but it looked pretty new.

I would recommend a heavier band than the one it comes with. Again, I’m not sure about the band I got in my dvd, but it was not strong enough. I usually workout with 4 lb weights to give you an idea of what I’m comparing this band to.

I still have the original video of this workout but my tape player does not work. This DVD has the original workout, but the audio is not the songs on the original. It has background music instead. This is probably because of music licensing.

The original songs were part of the enjoyment for me years ago. There is also added audio of Jane during the workout. You can still do the old exercise routine but I miss the original music.

I thought I was getting a workout video that’s easy and low impact to use on those days I need a break. Boy was I wrong! It really kicked my butt! There are two levels. Beginner and advanced. Even the beginner workout really gave a a good work out!.

I used to do this workout when I was young and fit and size 8/10. It’s still the best workout ever. Even though now I’m in my fifties and a size 12/14. Jane Fonda has always taken good care of herself and it shows.

She is so positive and gives out positive vibes. She is my role model. I want to be fit and slim like her.

Just what I was searching for in a workout. I believe I was stuck in a fitness plateau. Most of Bob’s workouts give me a different type challenge than what my daily workout routine training offers. Can help shed those last 10 lbs.

Going to stick with Bobs DVDs a few times a week, Its hard work but I love challenging myself. I love that his DVDs are an hour long workout plus bonus features added are optional. I dont like short 30 or even 45 min.

workout. Bob is a keeper! I enjoy his sense of humor at times, He can be entertaining while you are in a grulling workout.

A few actual cardio activities are mixed in, but most of the exercises are standing with legs planted (static). Muscle fatigue comes largely (50% of the one-hr-long set) from repetitively lifting a 10 lb weight with one or two hands in a swinging motion that would probably give older exercisers back pain.

A better name for this video would be simply “conditioning. ” Also, many of the same activities are repeated over again. The lack of variety of different activities makes this exercise routine boring.

Even the video participants do not seem very excited about doing the exercises.

This DVD features 2 workouts. 1 that’s a 25 minute one, I’m a regular exerciser, but apparently not at this level. Lots of one-leg squats and dead lifts and stuff just kicked my butt! About the third time doing the workout though, I had the hang of it and really enjoyed the workout.

I have yet to even attempt the full hour part of this DVD cuz Bob Harper is pretty intense and the description on the DVD case is a little scary!.
