(3 stars) - Good workout, but no much other interesting information
The only worthwhile part of this DVD is the exercise routine itself. All other information presented on nutrition, creams and massage, etc. is too basic and vague to truly be useful to anyone. Everything that is discussed by the "experts" is common knowledge to most people (i.e. exercise regularly, eat healthy, stretch, moisturize your skin) and no truly detailed practical tips are given. For example, the DVD provides a long list of ingredients that a good lotion might contain, be we are not told if we should find a lotion that contains all of them or just any one of them or if one ingredient works better than another. Also, we are not told when or how to use such lotion. Also, we are told to eat healthy food, but little explanation of what this really means is provided and some of it is even a bit confusion at times (for example, Dr. Murad tells us we should eat meat and soy to increase our intake of protein, but he doesn't mention beans, and it's not clear if this means he considers legumes to be off limit or simply forgot to include them).

The workout, on the other hand, is pretty good and it might be worth buying the DVD just for this. I already knew most of the exercises shown (all but 2 of them), but I had never done them all in a row like this without interruption. Also, the pace was fairly quick, creating much more of a challenge (my heart beat actually got elevated, which never happens to me while doing these kinds of exercises!). I was not terribly sore at the end of it (nor the next day), but while performing the exercises, I did feel I was being challenged. Also, because of the fast pace, I think routine qualifies as both strength training and cardio exercise for me.

It should be noted, that while I did the entire workout (all ten exercises), Kim says we can choose as few as 4 of the ten exercises and do them for 20 minutes. The exercises presented vary considerably in intensity and one can chose those that best fit her level of fitness, which is useful (if I had chosen the easiest 4 exercises I would not have been challenged properly, but there were a few exercises I would have found hard to repeat for multiple sets). Personally, I prefer to do all 10 exercises in a row, but others might find it simpler to only learn how to do a few of them.

All exercises were explained well and were easy to perform, even though I found it hard to pay attention to what Kim was saying while reading the written instructions at the same time (I think it would be good to watch the entire routine once before trying it out). The stretches were pretty basic (except for the very challenging split), but this section of the DVD might still be useful to beginners.

I can see myself using the workout section of the DVD regularly. I doubt this will make my cellulite disappear, but I am sure it will help tone my legs more.

(5 stars) - Great DVD for vacationing clients!
As a fitness instructor, I'm always asked about something my clients can do on vacation. Voilla! "Love your legs" was the hit of the century. It has been an instant hit with all of my clients and helps them return to my workouts easier when they return. I felt that the instructor Kim was very knowlegeable and used very intelligent cueing to motivate the participants. I would have to agree with the majority of the reviewers in that the video was spot on. I was not sure what "Jen's" criticism was all about and I found the production quality perfectly fine.

(2 stars) - Really unprofessional
After reading all of the positive reviews I was excited to try this DVD. Unfortunately it is cheaply made and the girl who leads the workout is almost unbearable to watch. They pick on an inexperienced girl throughout the whole video and now I can hardly stand to watch it. The exercises are useful, but the video is horrible.

(5 stars) - Worth every penny!
If you're on the fence about getting this, get this for just the workout alone. I am fairly active, not overweight, and I have strong legs (typical pear shape). My first go at it, I thought, "Eh, this'll be easy. Nothing ever gets my legs sore." Thinking I was too cool for school, I didn't stretch. The workout was difficult... in a GOOD way! After twenty minutes, I was dripping in sweat and my legs... actually felt fatigued for once! My heart rate was up throughout the workout, which is an added bonus to have some cardiovascular benefits. I certainly paid for it the next couple of days. I was incredibly sore. So sore I even had trouble walking up and down the stairs. My students made fun of me at school because I had trouble sitting and bending over. I tried the workout again last night and I stretched before and afterward. Today I have minimal soreness and know that I can really get some results. Heck, I've had results just after two workouts. My advice: STRETCH!!! You're not a superhuman when it comes to this workout!

The other parts about the nutrition and circulation are good bits. Not anything we hadn't heard about before with nutrition, but worth listening to again. The massage and stretching stuff is good stuff to make part of your nightly routine. Before I bought this DVD, I already started dry brushing before my showers and using a firming lotion with a leg scrubber and have seen results, so I know paired with this workout and healthy eating will be awesome!

The best advice Kim says in this is if you have time to take care of your hair and the skin on your face, you have time to take care of your legs. I never thought of it that way but it is really good advice that I'm sticking to!
