I purchased this DVD because I saw one of Cathe’s workouts on THE fit tv channel and loved it so I decided to see if she had any workouts on DVD. There are a lot of workout videos that claim to workout your legs but they don’t. This one by far is one of the best DVDs I have ever purchased to workout my legs. I was sore for 4 days. Absolutely love this DVD.

It took a couple of days before I could walk properly again. It fried my calf muscles:-) What a workout! This really targets all the muscles in your legs and combining it with a little cardio will give you a great workout.

Like the other reviewers, I agree that this is a very comprehensive, get down to business DVD. The workout accomplishes the goal of giving you a complete leg workout to muscle failure. The variety of weights, a step, a band and ball helps get to different muscle fibers. I have a back injury so I can’t do the dead lifts. I did only the standing portion and 2 days later I could hardly walk. When I spend my time working out I want to see results, and this workout delivered.

Gymstyles legs hits every muscle fiber in your legs – it is extremely thorough and there is a good mix of standing leg work and floor work. I have made tremendous strength gains with the Gymstyles series.

This is a great DVD for legs. I have only used the Pre-Mixes so far and can’t imagine the pain I’ll be in when I finally do the full routine. This is a good change from my standard lower body routine. If you’re in a total time-crunch, the 33 min. Pre-Mix is perfect. The 49 min. Pre-Mix does not include Calf-specific exercises. I recommend this video to anyone who wants to do it on a regular basis or as a change from their standard routine. Your thighs will be quivering.
