I first bought this tape years ago when Idrea was an exercise instructor at a gym next to my hair salon--Madonna Nouvelle, in Studio City. The exercises at first glance seemed too easy. However, as I soon discovered, you get a great workout in a relatively short period of time. Now, years later, I have rediscovered this tape (buried for several years in a cabinet). I wish the VHS format were in DVD format--much easier to load and wouldn't have to rewind every day.

When I first saw this video, I was 10 and would do it with my mother. What I loved most was that Idrea wasn't some sized 2 woman telling us we could do it. She and the women on the video are average, everyday women. They are diverse in race, size and age. And Idrea is so encouraging. I'm not a larger woman myself, but I love this video more than any other one I have because the women are real. They grunt during the floor exercises because it hurts. You see them all sweating and making faces when an exercise hurts, and you see some people mess up on the steps. Yet, they keep going. You can't get more real than that. And with all the cheers, you feel like you're in class with these women. I love it.

this is a very motivational workout!!!!just when you think you cant do any more, you see the faces of the other fat people and you see how they are hurting just like you :-)
