# 1994 VHS • Building Strength with Susan Powter 60 FPS

Building Strength with Susan Powter is a strength training video running approximately 57 minutes and 19 seconds. Powter opens by describing her own experience at 260 pounds and argues that strength training should have been her first tool. The program requires dumbbells, a step or chair, ankle weights, and a mat, and is designed for three-days-per-week use. Powter frames muscle as the body's most metabolically active tissue, explaining that one pound of fat occupies five times the volume of one pound of muscle, and that increasing lean mass accelerates fat burning. The warm-up covers marching, arm pumping, step touches, two-step sides, heel curls, and hamstring work with consistent cuing on abdominal lift, open chest, and breath control. Instruction throughout emphasizes resistance on both the up and down phases of each movement. The closing segment promotes a clothing line for larger women in sizes large to 2X, available by calling 1-800-274-9699.
