This is a great workout tape it really does work as long as You put forth the effort . I bought this vhs in hopes of getting into better shape and fitness Thanks
Although the music, wardrobe and filming are very outdated. The exercise program in this video is by far the best for buns and thighs for toning. If you decide to use the newer versions of a buns and steel workout, you will get bigger results instead of a more tight and toned appearance.
Flashback to Flashdance! Everyone has on leotarsds, headbands, and legwarmers...I've only done the workout once. It was quite difficult, and I consider myself to be pretty in-shape. But my sister swears that it gets easier each time, so I guess I'll keep at it.
The exercises on this video works. You are basically using your own body weight, and positioning your leg at an angle. At least for the Inital leg exercises,and inner thigh work. I did not however think the outer leg work was as effective. But in using the exercises you will see results quickly if used as regularly 3 times a week. It is a little old and the trainer talks way too long... When ever my routine slips, I pick this back up to catch up. I have been using it off and on for years. And it is hard to find. Someone taped over my original accidentally.
I bought my first copy of this video in 1991 after my son was born. It killed me. It hurt just to walk the first week I did it. But it WORKED. I did it 6-7 days a week, and in three months, went from a size 14 to a size 6. And I looked great, head to toe. There's a few minutes spent on upper body and abs, and it's always been enough to keep everything looking good. I have a lot of exercise tapes but the only one I've used consistently is the original Buns of Steel. The music, set, clothes are dated, but who cares? I only care what my butt looks like at the end. Although after doing it for a while, just turn Greg down and blast whatever music you like. I've just bought another copy of this to use as a back-up for the one I have now (my third copy over the years.) I've never got to the point where this was an "easy" workout, but you work out for results, and this will give them to you. BUY THIS TAPE, and work through the pain, you WILL see results that will amaze you!
I found it hard to do when I first started, but when I did the exercises 7 times a week, I noticed a big difference, that and with the walking afterwards. I recommend this video highly. Note: You can always turn the sound low and put on your own music to do the work out too.
This is a classic! Greg Smithey gets the blood pumping, and your muscles working. The results are amazing, if you can take the pace. Be careful if you are out of shape because your a** will burn. GUARANTEED! When you do the exercises regularly the difference is remarkable.
Don't be put off by the old-fashioned clothes, or the silly patter, this tape works! I have bought a lot of work-out tapes, and this one is the most effective I have ever tried.
I had this tape years ago and lost over 40 pounds by using it 5-6 times a week. I've tried so many others tapes/dvds in the years since, gone to several gyms and finally ended up buying another Original Buns of Steel video. I've been doing the tape for only a couple of weeks now and can already see results! I am so happy I came back to this video. The instructor, participants, clothing and music are kind of cheesy but I think it's all part of it's charm. I never get bored even though I do this tape several times a week. The time seems to fly by and what a workout you get! After the first day, I had muscles that I didn't even remember having that were sore. It takes awhlie to get through the whole tape but eventually I know I'll get there. I would recommend this tape to anyone looking to lose weight and get in shape. The best workout I've ever done!!!!!
I was very disappointed in the Buns of Steel tape I purchased from Georgies Treasures in California. I was broken, the case was warped and cracked and it would not fit in the player. I had to spend extra money to have it fixed.
This is the first time I have purchased anything from ebay and i would be very wary of purchasing from ebay again.
I love it, and it's the original tape before they started making all kinds of buns of steel tapes for the different parts of the body, this one covers all of it. I had this vhs tape years ago and let someone borrow it that never returned it. I missed it alot, one of the best exercise tapes I've ever done.
I liked this work out routine alot because it not only focused on the butt area of the body,but also did exercise developement on the rest of the body as well.So I thought it was a good exercise routine for the whole body,and worked the cardiovascular too.It was a little hard at first to keep up with,but then it got easier after I got it down. Thank You, Peter Stoykos
