Jeanette Jenkins / The Hollywood Trainer: Butt & Thigh Blast DVD

A great workout and easy to follow at any age!

So far I have worked with this dvd for two days and Jeanette definitely will work your butt and thighs. My behind was on fire and she not only is working you body, she is also showing you the correct technique. What I love most about this dvd, you are getting a good workout in 20 minutes flat. So far I wake up at 5 am, knock out the dvd, and get me and my child ready for the day. You will sweat, so that is good too.Some people wrote that it was poor quality because they heard sirens in the background, and unfortunately, you do; however, if you are really paying attention to Jeanette and getting your workout in...those sirens will not mean a thing to you.

Gosh, I really had big hopes for this video. Although I appreciate people from all races, I really wanted to buy a video done buy a sistah because I long to see more women who look like me, doing these videos and are in tip top shape like Jeanette is. But I was not as pleased as I thought I would be with this video. At any rate here are my pros and cons so you decide.Pros1.) It is a decent workout. If you are a beginner at exercising or haven't worked out in a while, this is a good video for you. But if you exercise regularly, you may feel it, but I didn't feel it as much as I had hoped. The next day or day after, I didn't really feel sore like I usually do when I try a new routine. I did feel a little tightness, but not what I am used to.. I have been exercising regularly for about 10 or 15 years and it never fails that whenever I try a new intense and great routine, I can feel it in my muscles the next day or so and I didn't feel it with this video. I probably should add/increase my weights for this video. That might help me feel it more. Overall, I still say it's a good workout.2.) Jeanetta has such a plum pleasing personality on her videos! Can't help but to like her :-) She is very professional, motivating, and encouraging to the audience. I really like the way she explained different things as she exercises. For example, she gave a little nugget of info about working glutes in terms of glute exercise movements being more painful for men than women because of the lactic acid building up quicker in men due to their musclarity. I didn't know that :-) and I love to learn new stuff....Cons1.) Video was kinda low quality. She and the others are outside performing the routine, and I kid you not, I heard loud police and ambulance sirens half way through the video. I was shocked that this wasn't edited because it was so annoying and distracting from Jeanette's professionalism and the workout itself. I could be wrong. Maybe that was the sound effects of the music she chose to use. If so, that was a poor choice and it took away from the video for me.2.) The video was too short for the price. I know that sometimes you have to pay a lil more to support sistah's and brothers and I don't mind doing that because I know that they often times do not get the attention they deserve like many of their counterparts. Nonetheless, that doesn't mean that I should be short changed on the product. I have videos from Tamilee, Jillian Michaels, etc. and they are all lengthy (as in an hour) and cost less than this video so I was a bit disappointed on the brevity of the video. It says it's 40 minutes on the DVD case, but it seemed like 30 minutes instead. Either way, 60 minutes is a good time frame for an exercise video to me. Especially if they added 15 or 20min segments of different butt routines.With that said, I guess I will continue looking for good African American workout video role models. I like Robert Ferguson. He is great! I just want to have more diversification and include fitness training performed by women who look like me, but unfortunately I don't think I will order another one of Jeanette's videos anytime soon if they are as short and expensive as this one.

This is a great workout - nice combination of standing & floor exercises. I feel like it works my muscles differently than, say, Jillian's Killer Buns & Thighs. It's a good length & I love how the DVD goes right to the beginning of the workout. I have the Ab Blast workout, too - I wish there was an ARMS Blast - I would buy it immediately! Butt Blast is a great workout that I cycle through my weekly routines. BUY IT!

I love Jeanette Jenkins she really makes workout fun Im definitely gonna get more workout videos from her it makes a difference when you find the right one. I love the bun and thigh blast it's by far the,best one it kicks my but I totally recommend it if you want to get toned in that area

I'm really looking Jeanette and her style of workouts. I admit that sometimes her breaks aren't that long, but i definitely get what I'm looking for from her workouts everytime i do them. As with any workout, i modify when i need to, I'm very pleased with how I'm feeling.

Total waste of time and a disk. This wouldn't even make a beginner sore or see results. Dont waste your money, its cheap as is for a reason.

I got this last night and couldn't wait to try it. I love this video. I know someone commented about the noise in the background I barely noticed it. I love how it's not a long dvd but you will feel the burn.
