This tape is the only reason I have a VCR!
|
I first bought this tape when it came out 15 years ago. To this day I have yet to find a workout that makes me feel as accomplished. When I first started this workout at 23 years of age, I was at my highest weight. I thought my heart would explode by the end of the warmup. I did the lower end of her modifications (based on fitness and level of ability) and somehow got through it. Eventually I was doing the high end, with a step, and feeling fit, feeling great.
I started trying different tapes because frankly the same ol' music and faces were getting to me. I could do it blindfolded while reciting every word Susan Powter said. I looked and looked for a new workout and couldn't quite find one as compelling. The closest I came was Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds (3 miles), and it's not that close, but it is the only other one that kept me motivated.
What I love about Lean, Strong & Healthy:
-- Starts by showing the before/after photos of her workout group
-- You actually feel like you're working your muscles. You're not just sweating...you're "lifting weights" too (imagine moving through mud).
-- You can do it with or without the step and using any number of fitness or ability modifications.
-- No matter how good you get, you can always do better (kick higher, swoop lower, etc.)
-- Susan Powter's encouraging comments to just keep moving
-- Variety of weights and fitness levels of video participants
-- Just the right amount of time: 45 minutes
-- Complicated enough not to be boring, but not so complicated that you give up.
-- It helped me lose over 30 pounds!
What I don't like:
-- Doing standing stretches at the end of the session is disappointing. I really feel I deserve to sit down to stretch.
-- Music is cheap and repetitive.
-- It's not sold on DVD!!! Boo hoo! |
