The "Buns of Steel" series is OK for the budget
conscious (most tapes under $10), but the production
quality is not nearly as good as you would find in a $20
video. I think most are taped in "extended
play" mode, the soundtracks aren't great, and the
sets and lighting aren't exactly inspiring. The
Buns of
Steel 2000
series, which feature Tamilee Webb and her
Fitness Pro buddies, Donna Richardson and Tracy York, are
supposedly better production quality. They cost a bit
more than the original "Buns" series.
Most of
the workouts I've seen are sound and safe, but it's not
always obvious from the box which are aerobic tapes and
which are toning tapes only. Tamilee Webb, instructor on
many of the videos in the series, is a good instructor
who gives a lot of good form pointers. Her cuing is very
good, and she does a good job of progressively building
combinations.
