I did this workout religiously for several months. I really loved it at first. It got my heart pumping and really worked my legs. I was sore every time.

Then I developed lower back problems. I doubt that the workout caused the problem (at least not directly), but after every workout, it definitely contributed to the pain. This workout consists nearly exclusively of squats and lunges, which -- as my physical therapist explained to me -- compress the spine. That translated to wicked low-back pain.

I also imagine this isn't a great workout for those with weak knees. Tamilee gives fine instructions, but she moves so quickly in the squats and lunges that it's just flat-out tough to make sure your knees aren't going past your toes and you're not overextending your back.

I still give the video 3 stars because I really loved it at first, it got me motivated to exercise and I definitely felt results. Just BEWARE if you think you might be prone to back or knee trouble, and avoid this disc if you are.

Tamilee Webb has done it again! This workout has very unique moves which I have not seen in any other exercise video (and I have a huge collection). I was at a weight loss plateau (after losing 25lbs post-pregancy)and after doing this DVD for one week I lost three very stubborn pounds. If you are an advanced exerciser, you can use a step bench to increase the intensity(modifications at all levels are shown), but it is not required. The workout is not Tamilee's usual one-on-one style, she has two younger women doing the routine with her. In the DVD she says that one is "in her 20's" (tall & lean), the other is "in her 30's" (short and muscular) and then there's Tamilee who says she is "in her 40's" but with her tight body (complete with the requisite belly ring!)she would put most high school girls to shame. By the way, there is a 10 minute abs section which you will feel the next day. The sound quality is very good, and the music is the typical pulsating aerobic dance style. I will continue to make Tighter Assets a part of my new morning routine because it is so fun and effective.

I would consider myself an intermediate or advanced level in step aerobics. I was skeptical of a 30 minute workout because I wasn't sure it would be intense enough for me to feel as though I got a high quality workout. This workout is awesome! I guarantee you'll be working those muscles and burning fat and SWEATING by the time you are done. It is a fun workout, but you will definitely feel it the next day. I do the 30 minute workout and follow immediately with the "special feature" 10 minute abs routine at the end. The first time I did this extra abs routine I couldn't even finish it! But, I quickly built up my strength and it is now one of my favorite ab routine around. I highly recommend this fitness DVD! Plus, you just have to love Tamilee, don't you?!

When I did this workout for the first time, I was really feeling it the next day...especially in my obliques, buns and thighs. I have this on DVD, which includes her 10 min. ab workout as a bonus. Tamilee proves that you can get a great workout in just 30 minutes, but it is mostly lower body. So, I do her "I Want Those Arms" workout (included on the "I Want That Body" DVD) first, to work my arms and shoulders and serve as a warmup, since this workout has no warmup. I am an intermediate/advanced exerciser, and I use a 6-inch step. I rotate this workout with Tamilee's Tighter Assets Cardio Blast, Tamilee's I Want That Body and The Firm (the latest ones), all of which I highly recommend.

I purchased this DVD with the hope that it truly combines a cardio workout with toning because I rarely have time to do both seperately. Many workouts make this claim and do not live up to it, but this one absolutely provides a 2 in 1 work out.
This is the most challenging workout I've tried to do since hurting an ankle last summer, & I could not have done this before fully recovering. You have to be able to bounce, lunge & squat at a quick pace to get the most out of this work out.
This dvd gets 4 out of 5 stars from me because I feel the need to add 5 min of my own leg stretches to the warm up section - it is a little too short in my opinion considering the demand the workout puts on your muscles & joints.

This is a great DVD to tone and tighten everything. It has original moves, it is challenging, and motivating. It combines step work to tone (but it also gets your heart rate up) and weights for your arms and abs. The moves for your abs are very unique and I felt it the next day! It is also quick-just 30 minutes. I like that there isn't too much time wasted on warming up. One of my favorites!

I have basically grown up watching and exercising to Tamilee, so I knew that when I bought this DVD I would not have any regrets. Even if you don't have a step right now (like me), you will still get a great workout!! I was sweating by the end of the 30 minutes. It is not at all boring or hard to follow. And she is not annoying like a lot of instuctors you see on TV or DVD's these days. I have raved about and recommended this DVD to my boss and my friends. I can't wait to try her "Tighter Assets - Cardio Blast" DVD. My only complaint is that there is not a buff burnette amongst the blondes!!

This workout is a good, short toning workout. My absolutely favorite part is the 10 minute ab routine that comes on the DVD version. I like it because none of the ab work is done while lying on your back. I have done crunches for years and I think I am immune to them. This ab routine really makes you feel it the next day. The DVD also comes with the Ultrafit nutrition plan and meal guide. They are very informative.

I just bought this dvd and it has a ton of cool features and of course is a GREAT workout. I actually like this one better than tighter assets-cardio blast although both are a good workout. I would recommend this dvd to anyone who wants to get in shape and tone up!

I first have to say that I love Tamilee's videos. If you don't already have "I want that body" you must get it! This workout is supposed to be a strength training video, but I like it because it raises my heart rate up but still doesn't make me jump all over the place. The workout is about 30 minutes. There are 6 total segments: 2 for lower body (done on the step, lots of squats, lunges, Tamilee's signature moves!); 2 for arms (not as challenging as "I want that body" - but it goes by quickly; a short but effective ab workout; and then a quick stretch at the end. I like this dvd a lot. It goes by quickly, and you feel it burning. Definitely one to throw into the mix.
