VHS Movie Reviews of Lean, Strong and Healthy with Susan Powter
Movie Review: 1999 susan

Does anyone know how I can get a copy of a 1999 or 2000 tv show of Susan Powter on a domestic violence show did in Los Angeles??Movie Review: This tape is the only reason I have a VCR!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first bought this tape when it came out 15 years ago. To this day I have yet to find a workout that makes me feel as accomplished. When I first started this workout at 23 years of age, I was at my highest weight. I thought my heart would explode by the end of the warmup. I did the lower end of her modifications (based on fitness and level of ability) and somehow got through it. Eventually I was doing the high end, with a step, and feeling fit, feeling great.
I started trying different tapes because frankly the same ol' music and faces were getting to me. I could do it blindfolded while reciting every word Susan Powter said. I looked and looked for a new workout and couldn't quite find one as compelling. The closest I came was Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds (3 miles), and it's not that close, but it is the only other one that kept me motivated.
What I love about Lean, Strong & Healthy:
-- Starts by showing the before/after photos of her workout group
-- You actually feel like you're working your muscles. You're not just sweating...you're "lifting weights" too (imagine moving through mud).
-- You can do it with or without the step and using any number of fitness or ability modifications.
-- No matter how good you get, you can always do better (kick higher, swoop lower, etc.)
-- Susan Powter's encouraging comments to just keep moving
-- Variety of weights and fitness levels of video participants
-- Just the right amount of time: 45 minutes
-- Complicated enough not to be boring, but not so complicated that you give up.
-- It helped me lose over 30 pounds!
What I don't like:
-- Doing standing stretches at the end of the session is disappointing. I really feel I deserve to sit down to stretch.
-- Music is cheap and repetitive.
-- It's not sold on DVD!!! Boo hoo!
Movie Review: Why isn't this on DVD?
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll join in the chorus. I have always LOATHED exercising. I was a 'heavy boy' and when I got to college, I determined to be 'thin.'
Not knowing exactly what I was doing, the combination of being twenty, eating salads twice a day, walking all over campus, etc. did it. I went down to 175 at my lowest.
Then, over the years, the weight gradually crept back. I found Susan's tape after we were married, and I liked her very positive manner, and did the routine, and 'modified.' Actually, I got pretty good with it, and the results were almost instantaneous.
Then we had kids, and it was THEIR needs. Now I find, at 'my age,' I look like I did when I was 15. I thought to buy this DVD for a summer of Doctoral study, and exercise away from the kids, doing it EVERY DAY, and lo, it's not available!! Grrrr.
I don't care. I am going to buy a portable VHS player, and hook it into the dorm tv. I like Susan's personality, her encouraging manner, and that there REALLY are OTHER 'fat people' doing this, as well as the type/volume of music. I cannot ABIDE the thumping, driving 'music' used in most exercise videos these days, I'm not trying to be a piece of meat in a bar, just to be healthy for my kids and my wife, TYVM!
Susan, I don't know why you disappeared, but these videos, their total package, their motivational factors, have kept coming back to you, even ten years later. God bless you!
Movie Review: Love this workout
Summary: 5 Stars
I wish this workout was on dvd, I have burned through 3 copies already. I am an exercise video junkie, if it's been made I probably have it, but this video is my ultimate favorite. It's inspiring and a great workout.Movie Review: Anyone can do this workout
Summary: 5 Stars
This video changed my body- and my life. I despise exercise and always have. I am the type who couldn't run a mile without stopping to walk if a gun were to my head. This video is challenging whether you're a beginner or advanced. Her whole conceptis all fitness levels can modify and work within their own level of fitness. I lost 60 lbs which was my goal and have kept it off for 10 years. I still go back to this tape and love it. I promise even the severely out of shape can do the tape without feeling like a loser and giving up.
