The two-technique format provides motivational variety while challenging your muscles in different ways. Each section begins with standing lower-body moves and ends with floor-based abwork (both sections feature lots of tempo and range-of-motion variations). “Mega Moves” is contemporary — it includes rotations, cross-body motions and asymmetrical weight exercises. “Master Moves” features classic, deep-muscle routines like squats, lunges, “good mornings” and bicycles. Straight-forward instruction by Dr. Michele Olson. Requires 2 sets of weights (e.g. 5 and 10 lb.). ©2010. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Perfect Legs, Glutes & Abs
This REALLY Works!
At first my legs were blown away from this DVD and I had major DOMS. What a surprise since I workout and own a large selection of fitness videos. There's something really special going on here with the series and structure of the formats and the abs exercises blew me away, too. The difference in my lower body shows. I could go on! The upper body is involved a bit more than I was expecting and there is an overall aerobic effect gained from using this. Very awesome DVD workout!! - posted by Lucy on 5/18/2012

The Best!
The best DVD EVER for the lower body! I love that I can get a 4-day leg routine out of this by alternating the two workouts. The abs are also amazing with a different twist and I feel every muscle on each move. Highly happy with this! - posted by Catherine on 5/12/2012

Excellent workout
This really is a great workout. I read what everyone said about it being tough and I figured that I would have no problems with it. I am 54 years old and an intermediate/advanced exerciser who is getting back into shape. I have done FIRM workouts for years and am used to a lot of squats and lunges. The instructor is great and really walks you through the exercises. I did the first two parts of the workout for legs and abs and thought "Wow, that was hard, but I did it. Not so bad." The next morning I swung my legs out of bed and that's when the pain hit me. I could barely walk! Muscles hurt that I didn't even know I had. I couldn't even exercise the next day. I took it a little easier for a few days until my legs felt better and then did the second part of the DVD. It was not as intense; either that or my legs had loosened up a bit. I haven't tried the first part again, but I have been doing other leg/glute workouts to get accustomed to it and plan to try again soon. My goal is to be able to do this on a regular basis. My suggestion is to work up slowly to this DVD by just doing one part at a time unless you are an advanced exerciser. It's really deceiving how intense it is until the day after you completed it. Great workout!! Great instructor!! - posted by Ruth on 5/10/2012

Tough but Worth it!
Very effective workout and tough especially if you do both routines back to back. Well worth it, though! I see a difference in exercise clothes. Seems like the second "master move" workout is not as challenging at first (as the "mega" segment) and then I realize it is every bit as strong and just as worthwhile as the first workout - but challenging in an entirely different way. Wish instructor would do more soon! Recommended!!!!! - posted by Lynne on 5/9/2012

Ab workout is nearly impossible
Lower body workout is great. Weights with cardio and definitely worth it. I was a little disappointed with the ab workout as she can do some amazing things with her abs but I can't keep up because it's just too difficult for me so I end up getting no ab workout at all....just do my crunches. - posted by Renee on 5/6/2012

Ouch!
I did the entire workout for the first time yesterday and I am very impressed. The music and instructor were very motivating as I pushed through the difficult moves. I'm definitely going to add this video to my regular workout routine. I can't wait to see the results. - posted by Ali on 1/26/2012

Liked it.
Michelle really works you out. I like her simple to follow moves. - posted by Trudy on 1/26/2012

basic, but effective
No surprises here, just basic movements performed by the instructor with repetition and fidelity. Not a good choice on days I need to feel motivated, since the music and cuing is not energetic enough for me. Great for days when you have a limited amount of time, but want to complete a good, targeted workout. I like being able to choose the workout type and length. - posted by kathy on 1/26/2012

Helped me lose more than 50 pounds!
I have been doing this video 2 to 3 times per week for 8 months (I do an upper body tape the other 2-3 days and cardio every day) and I have lost more than 50 pounds in that time! I love this DVD. It is challenging but I really got results. Michele is really likable and gives clear instructions. - posted by MM on 12/28/2011

Awesome workout!
I've done this workout twice, and my buns and lower body were sore for three days! I have been working out for several years and have used many different lower body workouts. This is one of the best. - posted by Wendy on 10/20/2011

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
