Sorry, this item is sold out.
It is no longer available for sale.

Certified instructor description: Three quick body-part-targeted sections — they all use proven exercises for maximum effectiveness. Chris Freytag’s cuing is down-to-earth and non-intimidating — she’ll keep you on-track and motivated. The belly section includes a blend of Pilates and traditional floorwork (e.g. roll-ups and planks, crunches and curls). The butt and thighs segments feature faster-paced routines that will also raise your heart rate. These mostly squat and lunge sequences are all carefully focused on a specific muscle group (e.g. adding abduction and adduction movements to really target your inner and outer thighs). Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells. 1©2005. DVD has: Chapter menus, Region 1.

Prevention: Belly, Butt & Thighs
Just what I needed
I love this workout. I've been working out from videos from Collage for about 11 years now. This videos one of my favorites. When I'm crunched for time or even when I'm not in the mood to workout, this video gets the job done. It's easy enough to follow and motivational as well. I get enough of a burn to feel good the rest of the day. Plus, I love that is targets those "special" areas. - posted by Michele on 11/15/2011

I Keep Coming Back to This One
I'm a jogger normally but wanted to be able to exercise year round and gyms are too far and expensive. I don't have a large collection of exercise DVD's at this point but I found I keep coming back to this one, especially when I'm short on time. Ms. Freytag is very motivating and supportive without being obnoxious; I really like her presentation. The workout is short but surprisingly effective and also gets my heart pumping so I know I'm burning fat as well. I hate it when I dread an upcoming section on a tape but I really enjoy all of the exercises on this tape and feel great and energized after completing it. I feel my body changing and becoming more toned. I look forward to owning more Prevention DVD's. - posted by Susan on 11/5/2010

I love this workout
I enjoy the instructor she is easy to follow with a pleasant voice. The exercises are enjoyable yet you feel them working. To some it up I would recommend this tape. - posted by Fran on 7/29/2010

Favorite Prevention video
I use this one if I am short on time or when I am getting back into exercising after having a period of very little exercise. I like it because even though it is short it is effective, I feel it in my legs the next day. However, I have never been sore in my abs. I do like Chris Freytag as an instructor also. She is friendly, motivating, and informative. One annoying thing about some Prevention videos is that you do not have the option to get directly to the menu for the program. So I just put the video in first, leaving the TV off, and while it plays through the intro I put on my shoes. - posted by Jodi on 6/9/2009

Nice quick toning
I like it. Chris is great. It's quick for when you only have 20-30 mins and you feel it working and can tone fast. - posted by Jules C, MSW on 3/18/2009

I Love It
I think that this is an awesome workout. It works all over your abs and your lower body in just 10 minutes each. It even has a bit of cardio so I know that I am burning calories and blasting fat in my body. I just love this workout. I can’t complement it enough. Chris Freytag is such a great motivator and she keeps me going through all the workouts. And each workout so complete, nothing is missing. It works it all. I would recommend this workout to anyone. It is a definite keeper! - posted by Emily on 2/22/2009

Good But Not the Best Prevention Video
I have about 5 Prevention videos, and I have found I really like them because they focus on specific goals and target areas, but Belly, Butt, and Thighs is my least favorite of them because it's really hard on the knees. Practically the whole video is made up of squats and lunges. I'm 47 and I'm an experienced exerciser. The types of exercises are varied and easy to follow along. However, to get real results (which I think you really would), it would be too hard on your knees if you did this tape regularly. If you don't have that problem, go for it-it'll really target the areas the tape claims. Prevention videos are also good about giving you tips on proper form and dieting tips too. I've been impressed with Prevention's videos so far. - posted by Stacey on 2/9/2008

Good for a quick work out
This is nice if you don't have much time. I felt the burn doing all three, but didnt see the point in doing just one of the segments. Its not bad. - posted by Jen on 2/3/2008

Ouch! Not for Beginners!
I bought this and tried it for the first time tonight. Before popping this DVD in, I did my Leslie Sansone 2 mile walk first. This BB and T DVD is not for someone who has either problem knees or lower back issues. Most of it requires constant straining and pressure on the knees and the abs section can strain the back if you're not careful. I ended up doing a few of the exercises-modified versions of them. I guess this would be really good for someone who's in great shape. I've been working out since February and this DVD is too hard for me. No, thanks. I'll stick to my other DVD's, calisthenics and free weights. - posted by Christine on 8/27/2007

SHORT ON TIME!
i found this tape to do the trick if you are short on time and need a quick fix or you can add it to the end of another workout for very effective results. i was hesitant to buy this thinking it would be to easy and i wouldn't get anything out of it. but, boy was i wrong. i have been doing this tape for about 4 weeks 5 days a week and have found amazing results in all three areas. try it and you won't be disappointed... - posted by DANIELLE on 8/15/2007

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.

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
