1 out of 5 stars The birth of the exercise video   July 10, 2001
4 out of 10 found this review helpful

Greg seems like a nice guy, though his running commentary gets pretty tiresome--not a moment of quiet and he likes to look into the camera and say things like "you have a beautiful body!!" and "I'm really proud of you!!" The large group working out with him appear to be ordinary folks, which is refreshing, except many seem like they've only gone through the routine a few times and often don't exhibit good form when doing the exercises. My biggest complaint is that Greg gives poor pointers on form techniques--there was no mention of protecting your lower back (even during the section on crunches) and only one mention during the whole video on being careful with your knees. If you don't already know how to protect your lower back and knees when you move, this definately isn't the video for you. He also performs his movements very quickly.

Many of the movements here wouldn't appear on current videos because there are safer, and better, ways to move and get fit. I recommend Kathy Smith's video "Ultimate Stomach and Thighs" which provides an increasingly demanding routine along with impeccable form tips.


5 out of 5 stars Still the best on the market!!   August 5, 2002

This is simply the best allover and target toning workout on the market - period. It may take first timers a while to be able to complete each series of moves, but don't give up. I've been working out 'with' Greg for 12 years now. I'm 50 years old, but no one believes that because of the great tight, toned shape I am in. Thanks Greg - you're the best!


5 out of 5 stars I really love it!   December 1, 2003

I have been doing this video for more than 10 years, and I love it. Used consistently, it really does work. I have used it to lose 20 pounds in the last 6 months. I also used it while pregnant with my son--up until birth. I wish it was on DVD because there are so many excellent pieces/parts to mix and match when you don't have time for the full hour-long workout. As a side benefit, I have finally gotten the toned arms I have always wanted--just by doing the warm-up part of this video every day.


5 out of 5 stars Great, Fun, and Effective   January 1, 2004

I have used this tape for over 7 years now and it is by far my personal favorite! It's very effective and will give you the results that you have been wanting. I have tried many other excercise tapes, but all of them lacked the fun of this one. It's old and looks kind of cheesy, but trust me, it's one of the best! I will always cherish my Buns of Steel with Greg Smithey video.


5 out of 5 stars It really works   June 12, 2004

Buns of steel by Greg Smithey is just wonderful. I have worked out my whole life at home trying every video that came out starting with Jane Fonda videos and nothing gave me the results this tape did. While working with the video, Greg gives funny and encouraging comments that really put a smile on my face and made me want to keep going. It is really hard when you first start out if you are not in shape, but just do a little bit of each exercise and add more each time you do it and you will get where you want to be. It is my absolute favorite! It starts out with a short arobic workout to warm up your muscles that also works on your arms. It then you go into the entire leg and [back] workout. You will feel it in every muscle. Greg is very thorough. It finishes with a stomach and cool down stretch. It is just perfect and very enjoyable due to Greg's humor. Just try it, you will love it!
