VHS Movie Reviews of Platinum Series: Buns of Steel 2000 [VHS]Movie Review: It's only a penny, and one that's tails up at that Summary: 5 StarsThe exercise video PLATINUM SERIES BUNS OF STEEL 2000 is available used for just one cent. Breaking into two parts - one an aerobic routine, the other toning - that's half a penny per great workout. Plus, BUNS OF STEEL 2000 features Tamilee Webb, Donna Richardson and Tracy York - one-third a penny per beautiful exercise instructor.
You can alternate between burning calories with the aerobic BUNS OF STEEL 2000 segment and building muscle with the toning part. Or, if you dare, do both. The toning exercises are tougher than they look.
My only complaint about BUNS OF STEEL 2000 is it's essentially a "live" shoot. With three instructors teaching, at times two speak at once, neither understandable. A few sound edits could fix that but the skinflint producers let the mistakes stand. Then there's blown shots. As one instructor explains a new exercise move, the image we see is, for instance, a close-up that does not show everything Tamilee Webb, Donna Richardson or Tracy York says to do. Once again, a couple of edits could present the proper image, but a buck's a buck.
Speaking of showing everything, thank God for the big beautiful bottom of Tamilee Webb and how much of it her sexy thong leotard and flesh-colored stockings reveal in PLATINUM SERIES BUNS OF STEEL 2000. Tamilee gives us plenty of peeks at that perky posterior, especially in the aerobics segment. But(t) as(s) if to save the best for last, towards the end (tee-hee) of the toning segment there's a backward kick exercise; you have to see Tamilee's tush to believe it! With Tamilee Webb's backside, it's all upside!
Tamilee Webb even remarks that her breathtaking behind is "where all my weight is" during the BUNS OF STEEL 2000 toning segment. I wish we could see her face as she says it, but it's another instance where the camera is on the wrong subject. As Tamilee makes her candid admission about that rear I revere, the video's showing the other girls.
Movie Review: One of my favorite workouts Summary: 5 StarsIf you wanted to see serious results in about a month with only one workout, this could be the one. The only bad thing I can say about this video is that if you're just starting to work out, you won't be able to finish the whole tape the first time.
Although the step section is only about 20 minutes long, the toning section works big enough muscle groups that you stay aerobic for much longer if you do the whole workout at one time.
Tamilee Webb is joined by Tracy York and Donna Richardson (I love her style!) and after the warm-up with Tamilee, each instructor leads you through a step routine. The routines are challenging, but very do-able. The moves stay fairly basic but higher intensity options are offered. But my favorite section is the toning because it's about as serious a lower body workout as you'll ever find. Lots of squats and lunges (which I used to hate until I started seeing the amazing results).
Again, if you're committed to reshaping your body, this workout is a sure-fire way to do it. But remember, nothing worth having comes easy.
Movie Review: Platinum Editions Are All Time Favorites Summary: 5 StarsIn reading the previous reviews on the Buns of Steel 2000 workout, I HAD to post my own review. All of the Buns of Steel (Buns of Steel 2000 Step Workout, Thighs of Steel 2000, and this Buns of Steel 2000 version) are truly AMAZING. I have been using the 3 of these (in addition to a couple other tapes) for about 10 years now (about 4 times a week) and it STILL makes me sore, at least while I'm doing the exercises. After 10 years I still feel that the exercises are working. And I can also see in how my body looks that they definitely are working. I honestly can't believe anyone would have anything negative to say about any of the Platinum edition Buns of Steel workouts. I find myself sweating and out of breath (signs that I'm getting a good workout) every single time I use them. I can't say that about most other workout tapes. If you don't have these and are looking for a good workout, get them while you can. They really need to get them all on DVD. I know my tapes won't last forever...
Movie Review: Great workout Summary: 5 StarsBuns of Steel 2000 is a challenging, effective glute and leg workout that combines cardio, stretching, and toning. The music and clothes are good for a laugh--very 80s, high socks and thong leotards--but the moves hold true even in 2005.
The cardio section feels like dancing. The instructors and the moves rotate enough to keep your attention. Finally, the toning has GOT to work--at least, two days after doing it for the first time, my legs are still SO SORE! A great, fun workout.
Movie Review: Tamilee, you let me down! Summary: 3 StarsI loved both Abs of Steel and Buns of Steel 7, both featuring Tamilee Webb, so I bought Buns of Steel 2000 with confidence. Ooops! I thought it was pretty bad. The step aerobics segment is only twenty minutes long, not thirty as I was hoping. The first third with Tamilee was okay, but the other two-thirds of the aerobics segment is led by two ladies who are simply not clear about how and when the moves are going to transition and what they are once you're doing them. At one point, when Donna calls the moves it almost sounds like a joke, her instructions are so fast and meaningless ("Now right, now left, up-up, step-step...") The moves themselves ranged from decent, to silly, to unneccesarily complicated and inefficient. In spite of all this, for variety I do use the tape, but I alter many of the moves from cha cha cha-ing to knee or leg lifts to make me cardio-challenged instead of chorus line ready. I admit that I didn't look at the remainder of the tape, because I got the tape solely for its aerobic program.
