I recently purchased this DVD and it is great. I have not done aerobic exercises for years. I had gone to the gym and found that I was not enjoying myself , plus I never really felt that I had done a good cardiovascualr workout. Well this DVD gives me a good aerobic workout. I am losing weight and feeling great!! I would recommend this to anyone starting out. Karen gives wonderful instruction and the moves are easy to catch on to.

This is one of the most challenging workout DVD I own. It comprises of 2 workouts namely Strong and Smooth Moves and Streamline Fitness. For Strong and Smooth Moves workout, Karen starts us with a 9 minutes warmup before getting us into a vigorous 25 minutes low impact cardio. I must say that this 25 minutes is a real challenge initially. However after doing it a few times, the cardio session became fun and easy. After each vigorous 25 minutes, I always feels energized and lighter in my body weight. Karen then moves on to strength training. I used a 5Ibs dumbbell and at the end of a few workouts, my biceps muscles became obvious. Even my friends spotted it and see the difference in my body shape. Follow by is some tummy workouts and more strength training on the floor. The workout ends with a 5 minutes stretching that will really relaxs you. Streamline Fitness is a body sculpting workout. Great if you are trying to firm up your body especially your tummy and lower body. It started with some light warm up and follows by sculpting of upper body, lower body, tummy and back. Karen uses a 3Ibs genie ball but since I do not own one, I substitute with a 5 pounds dumbbell and it works just as fine for me. I love the option where I could mix and match my own workout. Cardio is a must for me and thus there are days I would mix cardio with the sculpting sessions instead of strength training. Some days, I do only cardio and stretch while other days, I concentrate soley on Streamline fitness. This is really a great workout DVD not to be missed. Go for it.

I expect this isn't higher up the charts as everyone is rushing off to buy *Ultimate Circuit*. But this is terrific, it really is, and doesn't use any cumbersome equipment like a Swiss Ball (do people really have room for those at home?). It does use a weighted balance stick and ball weights, but shows you how to subsitute a chair and handweights - which I, and I imagine very many users of this tape, do without any problems whatsoever. My favourite thing about this DVD is that you can mix and match segments from the two workouts; for example, my preferred combo is the cardio warmup followed by the short (but unusual and interesting) cardio burst, then the half hour strength, then the short sculpt and then the stretch, which adds up to just over an hour, whereas my pal likes to do the longer low impact cardio followed by the yoga segment. Something for everyone. And Karen has the best body ever; it is so good I am beyond envy. Buy, buy, buy.

This was the first Karen Voight DVD I'd purchased and I have become a huge fan. Karen is an excellent instructor and very inspiring - if for nothing else than her own personal fitness and sculpting. Her approach is encouraging and motivating without the self-absorption I've been turned off by in other DVD instructors. While I admit that the "Strong and Smooth Moves" portion is challenging at first, it doesn't take long to catch onto her routine and it has had the added effect of improving my coordination. With a little persistence and practice, it is a good workout. My favourite portion of the DVD, however, has become the "Streamline Fitness" workout - a routine I really look forward to. I started without any weights at all (using body resistance) while traveling and continually in hotel rooms and yet still saw results. At home, I use weights and the new sculpting I see of my body energizes me to keep with the routine almost daily. I have worked out a lot in my life, but never have I attained the streamlined sculpting that Karen's workout has brought me to. At 41 I look better in a bikini than I did at 20! Abs...arms...legs...bum...if you stay with this, you will see results, too. Perhaps that is why I haven't gotten tired of this DVD...that, as well as the good pacing and Karen Voight's matter-of-fact, get-down-to-business, yet patient and empathetic style. This is my #1 choice for my workout routine and I know I look better now than friends who go routinely to the gym - and in less time. The "Streamline Fitness" chapter begins with a 7-minute warm-up then moves into arms, legs and buttocks with weights. If you are pressed for time, you can stop here after 30 minutes and do the 30-minute abs and yoga stretches later in your day or continue on with the abs - a most excellent routine that produces real definition. This is followed by a good yoga cool down (although still challenging). A real winner all the way around!

I think she is the best at form, athleticism, and weight training. I always get something from her and she is always doing new moves that are TOUGH!
