For those who want their left brain to get a workout along with their bodies, Tamilee Webb's Science of Fitness series, including I Want That Body!, is are just what the personal trainer and professor ordered. Webb, an appealing and inspiring fitness instructor, includes scientific demonstrations conducted in a lab, showing how her exercises target each muscle group. This disc contains workouts for abs, arms, and buns, and each of those areas is divided into two 15-minute segments. If you're just starting out, do just one segment each; if you really want to up your results, go for both. Webb is encouraging without being off-puttingly perky, and she has the presence of mind, while doing very challenging moves, to calmly remind us of the science behind working each particular muscle. A small complaint: For the arms routine, all she says is to use some free weights; we don't know what size she's using, and there aren't different sizes for the different types of exercises, which can be a good modifier. But if you build in the option of lighter or heavier weights yourself, you should be able to proceed nicely. Extras include a quiz about common exercise forms, nutritional tips and different-angle shots of the routines. If you Want That Body, you better be prepared to work it, but Webb is an accessible leader and trainer and manages to inspire without being a cheerleader. --A.T. Hurley

 Terrific home workout, only lacks a few muscles September 21, 2009
E. C. Andrews (Bloomington, IN United States)
This is easily the best strength training video I've ever used, and after several years I am still not bored with it! I love being able to choose one arm, one ab, and one buns workout for a full-body tone-up. My only complaint is that it's not quite full-body as there are no moves for the chest and only one workout has one back exercise. But nothing is stopping me from doing a few push-ups on my own and I am so grateful to have this DVD in my collection.
 Best of all 3 Tamilee Workouts August 31, 2009

I love all 3 of Tamilee's workouts: Abs, Arms, and lower body. And now all on a DVD. I used to have the VHS version. Simple 15 minute workouts with two different levels for each discipline.

This DVD is amazing! Tamilee is no-nonsense and her workouts get right to the point. Each 15 minute workout is very effective and the length is perfect so that you can't say you don't have time to do at least one workout. Program 1 of the Buns section is amazing. It's really tough. I hate doing just squats and lunges but boy are they effective. I have a tendancy to avoid this workout but when I do it, I am sore for several days afterward. It definitely works! Both ab programs are awesome as well. Program 2 focuses more on the obliques and that's another one you'll feel the next day. My only complaint is with program 1 of the arms segment. I have a tendancy to avoid this workout, just because I've gotten so bored with it. Instead of doing 3 sets of the arm workouts, I wish she would have included more workouts with fewer sets because I get tired of doing the same thing over and over again. For some reason the 3 set thing doesn't bother me with program 2 of the arms and both bun programs but I just get annoyed at program 1 of the arms. It's probably just me though. All in all it's definitely worth a purchase!
Great dvd for anyone who's serious about getting in shape quick. June 7, 2009

Just want to say that as a yoga teacher and karate teacher I think this is an awesome dvd. It's by far the best one I've ever tried.
She has great, fast workouts that really work. I love that in under an hour you can workout your entire body and really feel and see the results.
Another good thing is that this dvd isn't filled with cheesy music and isn't too cutesy. It's just her explaining the moves with a little background music that helps you keep track of how many reps you've done.
The little extras are nice as well. Her recommendations for a healthy diet are spot on and I love that she looks healthy, not too skinny.
One of the best workout videos available June 3, 2009

I've purchased quite a few workout videos over the years, beginning with the original "Buns of Steel" series many years ago. Because I was familiar with Tamilee Webb's instruction style and the quality of her workouts, I had no qualms purchasing this set. What I love is that there are six 15 minute workout programs (2 each for abs, arms & buns), perfect when your pressed for time. Each workout leaves me feeling great - most of the moves are unique and challenging, but not so brutally difficult that you'll dread (and skip!) your next workout. When I finish the routines, I feel that I've done something effective and healthy for my body (as opposed to some workout videos which just feel like plain ol' torture and quickly end up in the 'donate' pile.) Tamilee's cuing is excellent and she's encouraging without being patronizing or annoying ~ a rare find in a video fitness instructor. Highly recommend.
