VHS Movie Reviews of Building Strength with Susan Powter [VHS]

Movie Review: Item ruined in shipment but transaction to refund automatic and fast.
Summary: 5 Stars

Judging from the fast ship date my order was handled very quickly. I was notified of the "shipping destruction" and was credited in the same letter. Great service. I already have a copy of this video and this was for a back-up.

Movie Review: Good strength workout for all fitness levels...
Summary: 5 Stars

I had this video years ago but didn't keep it. I decided to get it again adn revisit it. I am an intermediate exerciser who primarily uses The Firm. I was pleasantly surprised by this routine, it's a good strength workout!

Susan is joined by her friends, all shapes and sizes ready to pump iron. You start out with a simple warmup, lots of step touches, hamstring curls, knee lifts, etc. along with arm movements. Then it's time for strength training, you will do 3 sets of 10 reps for most of the exercises, a couple you will only do 2 sets. All of the exercises are performed in a 2-2 count. Susan and friends use one set of dumbells which appear to weigh anywhere from 1-5 pounds, one of the exercisers doesn't use weights at all.

The lower body is worked first with squats, these are done unweighted, but I add weights to make it a little more challenging. Next you will sit in a chair or on a bench and do seated leg extensions, then you will stand again and do hamstring curls and rear leg extensions while holding onto a chair for balance. Most of the exercisers use ankle weights for these, but it's not required. A stretch follows this sequence of exercises before moving on to the upper body.

I liked the upper body portion the best, and for those more advanced like myself, use heavier weights and you will definitely feel it. It is pretty straightforward, you will work one muscle group at a time, starting with shoulders with military presses and upright rows, 3 sets of each alternating the militaries and rows. Then you move on to back with rear deltoid raises, I myself do 2 sets of these and 1 set of double arm rows to change it up a bit. Next is chest, you will move to the floor and do bench presses followed by pec flies. Then you will stand up for bicep curls, I also modify this section by doing 2 sets of traditional curls and 1 set of hammer curls. Finally you will work the triceps with kickbacks, then you will move to the floor for a relaxation segment. There really isn't a final stretch but you stretch after each series of exercises.

Susan does a good job in this video, she shows modifications for some of the exercises, constantly reminds you to breathe and modify if necessary, and to use good form on all the exercises. She is friendly and encouraging throughout the whole video. I would recommmend this to anyone, it would be better suited for beginner/intermediate levels but advanced would also get a good workout by using heavier weights. Try it you might be surprised like I was.

Movie Review: She has a wonderful book too.
Summary: 5 Stars

I forgot to write in my nov. review, that i also brought her book called "Food", which i found to be very helpful. i am trying steps in chapter 2, i don't know if i'll get up to chapter 3 steps soon.I hope Susan keeps writing and making more videos, she is a true lady that has had to learn from Food mistakes , like the rest of us.

Movie Review: Ms Powter does a wonderful job !
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this video for 2 reasons. One,when the weather goes up to 85 degrees,I'd like to wear summer clothes without fat-flapping arms.Two, women have a history of bone loss as we age,and as grandmother said "prevention is best" and I don't want to wait until I have the problem. I also think it helps with posture.Ms Powter has women of all sizes (26-6) doing the program and shows us in each stage of weight, what that person should do,no one is excluded.Susan is very good at explaining each movement, and the benefits of that move. This lady can "Walk her Talk".This is a must buy for every woman.
