.com Eight minutes may not seem like much, but when you're targeting one muscle group for the entire time, your muscles will burn! Jaime Brenkus, a friendly and competent instructor, takes you through a steady eight-minute workout for the buttock muscles: squats, lunges, and a variety of butt-press moves. All are done using your body weight, no additional weights required. A nice effect is a timer counting down the seconds of the particular move and the minutes of the whole workout. As time-efficient as an eight-minute workout is, you might feel cheated spending your money on such a short routine, so they throw in a bonus workout: an eight-minute leg toner. You do 30 seconds each of a variety of standing exercises that target legs and thighs. You'll feel this one! --Joan Price

Oldie But a Goodie! Definite Results!
I got this workout because I love the 8 minute Abs workout so much and love the results and this tape didn't disappoint! Even though I've had this tape for over 10 years, I still use it on a regular basis and the workout still gives/maintains excellent results. After a few weeks, I noticed my bottom and thighs were more toned! Though this workout is so short, it is very intense and you definitely feel the burn.As with all the other tapes in this series, Jamie, the instructor keeps you motivated and helps you focus on proper form so as not to aggravate your back. The 8 minutes really flies by and it's easy to fit it into your daily routine.I'm only giving it 4 stars because of the included 8 MInute Thighs - that workout is great and also yields excellent results, but I also bought 8 Minute Legs separately and it is the SAME product/workout! Don't buy 8 Minute Legs because you already get it on this tape.

Great fast workout, and you can feel it the next day
You're not going to get as ripped as the people in the pic on the box, but you will get a nice bit of toning and in just 8 minutes. This program is great for people who don't have a lot of time, and helps to start the workout process. If you do it consistently you will build up a nice level of tone. You will have to chose another program after that to really continue on as you will reach a point where this doesn't help too much any more. But it is a great starter program!

8 minute buns and thighs
I use this in addition to 8 minute abs and would definitely recommend it. The 8 minutes go by fast and you can feel your heart rate rise. There is not alot of jumping around which you find in other workouts. The workout is sequenced so that you target the buns and thighs. The only part I found hard was the forward and reverse lunges, so I definitely recommend either using a chair for balance or doing a modified move. I felt toning within a week of using this routine.

Excellent Workouts
I like Jaime's videos. I hate to work my thighs and buns. But this workout is fast and effective. I have bad knees so I have to modify some of the moves but that creates no problems as I still get a very effective workout.I use this tape when my muscles are too sore from a weightlifting session and I need something to fill in. Both sessions, if done well, burn about 140 calories or so.If you want to tighten up your buns and/or thighs in a short period of time, this is for you.

Easy enough for a beginner.
These workouts are not for those "No Pain, No Gain" people. I love them because, as out of shape as I was, I could do a workout and not be sore the next day. Yet, I definitely saw results after a week. That's because I was able to stick with it. It didn't take a lot of time, and I felt good afterward. It seemed to give me an energy boost. Watching the clock count down during the workout was a real motivator, too. I also love that the tape has two different workouts, so when you no longer find a single workout challenging, you can do them back-to-back for a new level of challenge.

Good routine
I was looking for something that could easily fit into my schedule and produce real results. This tape definitely fit the bill. I use it a couple of times a week and even after the first week I saw improvements in the tone and definition. The fact that its so quick (a total of 16 minutes for buns and thighs) make it easier to keep up with as well. It is a bit difficult physically with a couple of the exercises but overall its a great video.

Good buns workout
This workout is a good compact workout for the glutes at intermediate level. I don't know if beginners could keep with it at first. The second part for legs is not challenging (except for the numerous lunges) but it will keep you toned up.

Well Worth It!
I recently purchased the 8 minute buns with 8 minute legs to do before work. I felt the "burn" after the first workout. This video really gives you a good workout in just 8 minutes. The instructor, Jaime Brenkus, is easy to follow and walks you right through the exercises. I highly recommend this tape to anyone who has a limited amount of time, yet wants to get an effective workout. It is amazing at how fast the time goes and how good you feel when you are done.
