highly recommended

Nothing is more unattractive than a flabby weak body. The only way to reduce flat is to burn calories and nothing burns calories better than strong muscles. In fact, healthy toned muscles will burn calories 24 hours a day - even when you are at rest! The Lotte Berk Method teaches you targeted exercises that will work poorly toned, unused muscles, particularly in your thighs and abdomen. From your first workout you will begin to create strong, toned muscles and burn calories. The results will look and feel fabulous!

Lotte Berk Kicks Butt

I'm in my mid-30's and this is the first exercise video I ever bought because the model doing the backbend on the cover caught my eye, (I'm big on flexibility). I'd never even heard of Lotte Berk before. The editorials that wrote Lotte Berk is a good workout without breaking a sweat lied! I sweat and my body parts trembled as I held on trying to get through the reps. I'm very active and usually exercise outdoors (biking, jogging, hiking, kayaking) but Lotte Berk found muscles that I obviously wasn't using and I was impressed. Lastly, I think the instructors are classy and I want to look as fit and sexy as they do so of course I bought the rest of the series. Lotte Berk kicks butt!

Great Workout; Awesome Instructor

I am an experienced exerciser. This video, short as it is, challenged me and I believe it will prove very effective in shaping musculature. I am most impressed with the instructor, and that is why I am offering these comments. Barbara Boolukos is awesome. Almost 50, with an incredible body, she is precise, authentic, and teaches with clear authority. She is also, however, warm and not at all intimidating. I have tried dozens of workout videos, and she is by far the best instructor I have ever seen. I am truly inspired and think that you will enjoy this too.

I love this video!!!!

I have been doing the Firm for a few years now and needed some variety. I ordered this video a few months ago and it sat in my entertainment stand until today. I really wanted to do something different and remembered i had this video. So I tried it and I loved it. It was very different and also fun. The leg work was very challenging. I also liked the instructor a lot and her helpers. They all looked great. I would recommend this video, it was quick and efficient.


My Favorite DVD and Instructor

MUSCLE EATS FAT is one of two "full body" DVDs in the Lotte Berk series (the other is BASIC ESSENTIALS) and is my favorite because of Barbara Boolukos, the almost 50 instructor. If you are a woman in your forties, fifties, or beyond, this woman will truly motivate you with her no-nonsense approach to exercise, her unpretentious yet obvious strength, and her amazing flexibility. The exercises are easy to learn and possible for anyone in good health and without major physical limitations to master. I have problems with my shoulders, particularly my right one, which is rigid, but that doesn't prevent me from doing the exercises and the mandatory stretches, receiving the full benefit from both. Until Barbara actually looks in the camera and says she is almost 50, you simply don't realize it because she looks so good. She proudly tells us that a recent bone test to analyze her bone density revealed that she "doesn't have a trace" of osteoporosis. I have to wonder about some younger women I see out on the streets of Washington, DC, jogging in all kinds of weather, high humidity, poor air quality, and everyday DC city air pollution. They may look good for now, but in time they make suffer all kinds of joint problems, respiratory problems, aging skin due to overexposure to the sun, and sagging breasts that simply couldn't take all that bouncing up and down for very long. Contrast that with Barbara Boolukos, our Lotte Berk instructor, who says she has been doing the Lotte Berk workout for 21 years and is slim and shapely, fit, and agile. You can easily see why I prefer to take it easy on the cardiovascular exercise and instead get fit, lean, and young looking with this wonderful combination of yoga, Pilates, anaerobic exercise, ballet training moves, and physical therapy techniques. Lotte Berk it is! Thank you Ms. Boolukos and to this DVD's producers for an effective, do-able, and inspiring workout.

Good - but not a miracle

Based on the reviews, I had very high expectations for this video. It's the only tape I have in the Lotte Berk series. I don't think you can get the profound results they promise by only doing this tape. There are very effective exercises within a short amount of time - each section is only 10 min. long.
I just felt it was expensive for such a short tape.

I believe in the Lotte Berk concepts - protecting your back and stretching your muscles. You do get reminders and pointers about your back. There are more in-between stretches in the lower body portion. And, the ending stretch focuses more on the legs. If you're looking for a short workout - it's excellent.
If they lowered the price, I'd buy more in the series. If you're looking for a longer workout with strengthening and stretching, try Jennifer Kries.
