I think it would be worth it if you have the other GS workouts, just to complete the set. I do have this one, but don't reach for it often even when I do a GS rotation. I actually like B&G and LOVE Lower Body Blast more and do that one instead of GS legs. There's more of a fun factor with LBB, in GS Cathe is a bit more serious... which isn't a bad thing.
I'm also not a huge fan of extensive floorwork so that's another reason I like GS Legs but don't LOVE it.
I think it would be a great addition to your Cathe collection, so if you have the extra money I'd say why not?

For lower body workouts, my top 2 DVDs are GS Lower Body and Butts & Gutts. I have all but 3 Cathe videos and reach for this one often.
I feel there is a lot of content in the approx 1 hour video rather than a lot of repetition. I also feel there is a great opportunity to easily build up in this video (adding weights). There is a timesaver also.
PM me if you would like the printout of all the exercises that the video has. I make a workout sheet for every video.
(The "slow motion lunges" are great!)

Yes!
This is very much a matter of opinion, but I love GS Legs. I think it is the toughest and more thorough of the leg workouts. It is roughly 1/2 an hour of standing weight work and 1/2 an hour of floor exercises. You can do them as separate workouts that both work the entire legs but quite differently. I also like the stretch at the end and feel it increased my flexibility a lot. I agree that it doesn't have much of a fun factor, but Cathe sure delivers on this one!

I love GS Legs. It's one of my favorite Cathe lower body workouts. Lower Body Blast is my fav and GS Legs is a close 2nd. It's a great workout, well worth the investment.

Oh yeah, the floor work in GSL...love how using the bands gets in those muscles. I now use the firewalker loop for some of the work, easier than holding the band in my hands.

I agree with everyone on this! Invest in a foam roller or tennis ball for deep tissue massage afterwards! Calves! Yikes!

I just got this one. YIKES is right!!!
Works the LB to complete exhaustion. Floor work just killed me. Get it, get it, get it (you probably already did).

I've been looking at this one too. Thanks for all the info.
I just came up from doing this workout and think why don't I do this more often!! I made supper and did the first half before, and the "easier" portion floorwork after...NOT easy! Killer! I decided I want to do this dvd once a week now because I think it's what my lower body needs!
I love Lower Body Blast too! Butts and Guts always kills me too!!
