5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent workout, February 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Lotte Berk Method - Muscle Eats Fat [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I watched this video before trying it myself and thought "this doesn't look so hard." Then I tried it the next day and it is quite a challenging workout!

There are three women doing the exercises, one leader and two others, one of whom shows a less intense version of an exercise. The first thing I noticed is what long, lean bodies they had, quite different from some other tapes I own where the women can be a little bulky.

They start with a warm up and then move into the stregthening the arms. After a muscle is worked it is stretched before moving onto another exercise. I really like this part. It feels great after working one part to stretch it out before going to the next. The leader says stretching is not relaxation, it's elongation, which put stretching in a whole new light for me. They go through an intense full body workout in 30 minutes. There is no jumping or high impact activity. The instruction was easy to follow. The only equipment you need are a couple of light dumbbells for the arm work and something to hold onto for some of the thigh work (I just turned my couch around and used the back of that). I highly recommend this workout and intend on trying some of the others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, April 2, 2003

I have lost 70 pounds over the past year, and have used a variety of exercise videos - pilates, weights, aerobics, dance - and this video is different than anything else I have used. For the first time in I don't know when, my leg muscles were shaking after completing this workout. If you are an exercise buff, and are looking for something different, I highly recommend this video. It is only a half hour long, which is shorter than most of my workouts, but believe me you will feel it. If you love pilates, I am sure you will enjoy this video, but if you are mostly into aerobics, than this is probably not for you. I plan on getting more Lotte Berk videos asap! : )

5.0 out of 5 stars Lotte Berk Kicks Butt, September 5, 2004

I'm in my mid-30's and this is the first exercise video I ever bought because the model doing the backbend on the cover caught my eye, (I'm big on flexibility). I'd never even heard of Lotte Berk before. The editorials that wrote Lotte Berk is a good workout without breaking a sweat lied! I sweat and my body parts trembled as I held on trying to get through the reps. I'm very active and usually exercise outdoors (biking, jogging, hiking, kayaking) but Lotte Berk found muscles that I obviously wasn't using and I was impressed. Lastly, I think the instructors are classy and I want to look as fit and sexy as they do so of course I bought the rest of the series. Lotte Berk kicks butt!
