What are your favorite lower body workouts in the 30-45 min range either dvd or YouTube. Thanks!

For old fashioned strength work I love Cathe's MIS. The warmup (a mini step routine) and lower body segment clock in at 26 minutes. It's mostly squats and lunges, both on and off the step. There is no outer thigh work, so if you need those extra few minutes, I guess you can just add some floor work.

I like Cathe Ripped with HIIT Legs, and less so but still good, the Lower Body Circuit from that series.

I really like Ballet Body Lower Body DVD, but it’s a little longer. I think if you forwarded through the bridge work and into the stretch, it would be about 45.
She has a free short workout on YouTube titled Iron Barre that is tough especially if you do it twice as suggested.

There is a Fitness Blender one I really like that is only 25 minutes on YouTube, it’s short so I go as much weight as I can, Booty Sculpting Lower Body. They also have some other good ones.

Cathe's Cardio leg blast is one my all time favorites and even though the main program is an hour the premixes are good and you get two 30 min workouts out of it

For something very different I've lately been doing and really enjoying Linda Wooldridge's Barlates workouts. Endurance 90 lower and Bodyweight Basics lower are both on youtube. The are no equipment but very challenging lower body workouts. They really keep my heart rate up while working the lower body. I really love the Tone it ones too but they are not on youtube, but are downloads.

I haven't used it recently, but I'm sure I raved about it when it was released.

Yes, it does. I will keep this one on my radar.

To answer the OP, I have never liked working my lower half, though it needs some serious help right now.

I do like Cathe's Legs and Glutes, I don't do the whole thing but like the standing portion, though I skip through some of the high impact moves. Her Chiseled Lower Body from ICE is good too. Some feel L & G is too easy, but that is why I like it. Her other workouts are excellent but have too much of a dread factor for me.


Then there is Margaret Richard, really like her floor work which is effective, but doesn't really create a dread factor. I only have Sculpture, Perfect 10, Getting Better and the Classics but any of the floor work from her DVDs is very good.
