This is an excellent workout for the buns, hips and thighs. Tracy Long is an excellent right to the point instructor and will keep you right on queue all the way through. The tape does start with a very good abdominal workout. Without it, you wouldn't see the same nice shaping of the hips. Those core stabilizer muscles are essential for all other body shaping and should be worked every time you workout. This tape also works all the major muscle groups from the waist down including the all important pelvic floor muscles. It's a short tape which is perfect for those days when you're running late but want to get in a good solid workout. As with all Firm tapes, this tape can be adapted to the beginner through advanced levels by adding weights.

My personal experience with this tape is very positive. I manage to slip this tape in once a week and have been watching my lower body begin to take on a very wonderful shape. All in all, it's one of my favorite workouts because it's quick and simple (I won't say it's painless ;) As with all Firm workouts, you will see results in 10 workouts. I started seeing results from Firm workouts after only 4 workouts and the results just keep on coming.

I'd recommend this tape to anyone who wants to shape their lower body. This tape can be used by beginner through advanced. If it's too easy you can slap on some ankle weights until you feel it working.

I have a few Firm tapes, and I really like this one. I have tried other workout tapes, and I have found that the Firm is the best. Because this tape is a "Parts" tape, it is a shorter workout. Tracie Long is a wonderful instructor. She cues very well, and she is motivating. Despite what the title says, ab work is included which is fine with me! I would definitely recommend this tape over "Lower Body Sculpting" which has several different instructors, and I don't like some of them as well.

I've been using the FIRM videos off and on for about 3 months. Recently I decided that I was going to start exercising "seriously" again and I added this one thinking that I could shape up my outer (and especially inner) thighs. While there are <some> inner thigh exercises, it's mostly abs. I would recommend using this tape in combination with another exercise regime since it's virtually impossible to do a lot of the ab work--the leg extensions! (How do they DO that! ) without your back crying for mercy. I would have preferred more inner thigh work and less abs. It's still VERY good though, and the FIRM tapes are the best tapes I've ever used! (Eat your heart out Oxycise and Body Flex! )

I bought this tape expecting a buns, hips, & thighs workout. As soon as I popped the in the tape, she started working abs. It seemed like that's most of what she worked the whole video. Why don't they title it "Abs & Buns?" I didn't want an ab workout, I wanted a buns, hips & thighs workout like the title suggested. The instructor is too monotone and non-motivating for my taste, but some people may like her for that reason.

I've been using this tape now for about four months. Incredibly, I've gone from tight size 12 jeans to loose size 8 jeans without losing one pound! It's amazing how much tighter and smaller I am, and I owe it all to this tape. Some of the tape uses ankle weights and dumbells, which you can keep increasing in weight so the tape never gets too easy. I use the tape three or four times a week. If you buy this tape, make sure that you send away for the free tape that "The Firm" provides- "20 questions on fitness"- it's very informative.

I bought this tape, mainly because the title says "Sculpted Hips, Thighs & Buttocks". There are only two very short segments for these areas. The rest of the workout is all abs. Mainly abs. I thought they put the wrong tape in the box. I gave this video away the next day. I'll stick with Buns of Steel!

Great workout! tones your abs (14 minutes of abs) tones your inner and outer thighs and glutes Tracie Long is a superb instructor and keeps ou highly motivated. All you need is ankle weights and a dumbell.

This is an excellent lower body workout! I just recently started to workout again (2 weeks and counting). The video is completely floor work. I alternate this video with several others from The Firm library, and I am already seeing results! Of course, this motivates me to continue. I am a Firm believer! I have already ordered the Standing Legs video and I'm anxious to incorporate it into my current video rotation. The instructor, Tracey Long, is the best Firm instructor I've seen so far. If you want to firm up your abs, butt, and thighs, you will not be disappointed with this video. It's great for beginners.

I started doing this tape a few months ago and have seen terrific results! The entire tape is done lying down, which I love because I have bursitis, and because lunges are bad for my knees. The title doesn't mention that there is some terrific ab work also.

This workout gave quick results and was challenging but not impossible like some videos. Tracy Long is clear, concise and not cloying as many instructors can be. You will see and feel the results of using this tape very quickly. I must note that the first reviewer of this tape is completely wrong. There are no aerobic steps used in this video, it is all floor work and you do not need to buy any equipment. Ankle weights and a dumbell are optional. Evidently, the first reviewer never actually viewed the videotape. I highly recommend it.
