Movie Reviews of The Science of Fitness with Tamilee - I Want That Body!Movie Review: Effective and thorough body-sculpting workout for all fitness levels. Summary: 5 Stars
Best known as the star of the "Abs of Steel" and "Buns of Steel" videos, Tamilee Webb demonstrates a variety of basic, easy-to-follow exercises, which have been scientifically tested and yielded among the most effective. She has a friendly yet professional demeanor, and her instruction and queuing are right on the mark. Tamilee demonstrates the exercises alone in a spacious, neatly decorated set and the workout is set to upbeat instrumental music which is heard more in the background. She herself is in fantastic shape, displaying a petite, curvy yet lean, defined, healthy-looking body.
This video contains three 30-minute body part-focused segments - with two 15-minute sub-segments each for the abdominals, arms and buttocks. There is also a stretch for the area of the body worked at the end of each sub-segment. Beginners can choose to only do part one of each sub-segment, while intermediates or advanced can combine all segments for more of a challenge. All of the exercises are done with high repetitions and either light dumbells or no weight for the lower body, so you'll build muscle definition but won't get bulky.
The "I Want Those Abs" segment includes forward, reverse and oblique crunches, which also incorporate leg lifts, knee bends, as well as standing abdominal exercises with light dumbells to really hit all of the muscles in the abdominal area.
The "I Want Those Arms" segment includes a variety of basic exercises using light dumbbells while sitting in a chair. This not only works every part of the arms, but also works the shoulders and even back.
The "I Want Those Buns" segment includes various forward and plie squats and lunges, which although Tamilee demonstrates without any weights, dumbells can be used for more advanced exercisers who want added intensity. These exercises not only help to reshape the buttocks but work the legs as well. Also included are isometric contractions, single-legged squats and kickbacks performed while holding onto a chair that can also be intensified with ankle weights.
As others have noted, I also think it would've been more practical to have a single, separate introduction and total-body warm-up, instead of including the same introduction at the beginning of both the Abs and Arms portions, as well as a separate warm-up for each routine, which one will likely want to skip through if they're doing the entire workout. But this is a niggling complaint when taken into account how wonderfully effective and expertly queued the actual exercises are! So just keep the remote handy in case you'll want to skip through some parts. The bonus features include insightful information with a nice Q&A section about fitness and diet and nutritional tips.
Because all of the exercises are proven to be effective, can be modified for all fitness levels, and are divided into body part-focused segments, I'd recommend this video to absolutely anyone.
Rating: Excellent
