Author: Guest I have numerous yoga and weight lifting/toning dvds and this is my all time favorite! I love Kathy's positive attitude without being syrupy! This really targets areas that need work and does it in a short time frame. I highly recommend this workout!
Author: Guest This DVD workout goes quickly and is fun to use. The exercises are mixed with traditional and innovative routines. You will never get bored. This DVD offers a matrix to build your own workout, which changes it up to prevent boredom.
The moves are slow and deliberate and give quite the burn while working out. I do this entire routine at once to challenge those muscles. Occassionally she will switch things up to create a pulsing burn with the move, great feeling. Your whole body will be begging for a break.
The ab routine is a bit weak compared to what I am used to. Obliques aren't even used at all and I like to feel my obliques the next day after a good ab routine.
Overall, great workout, but again like others I have reviewed, I only give it 4 stars due to lack of calf routine. Where are the calf routines?
Author: Guest I enjoyed the workout, but was really turned off by Kathy's excessive giggling and hopping around from person to person. She seemed easily distracted and was so offbeat at times. I enjoyed the format of separating upper and lower body, and then abs. I just prefer less chatter when I workout, which is why I choose to work out at home instead of a gym!
Author: Guest I enjoyed this video a lot but don't get it if you don't want to work those muscles. You will be pretty sore after the first time but if you don't firm up after a few weeks of this video you aren't doing it right!
Author: Guest This is not going to be one of your boring toning exercises. Kathy Smith added real interesting more efficient moves to toning.
I really like this DVD. You got lower body, upper body and mid section divided into sections. I don't do the whole DVD in one workout; I select which muscle group I want to work on that day after my cardio. There is no cardio in this DVD, you still need cardio to burn calories. I am a swimmer so I complement this work out with swimming. It is relatively tough but you really get a good muscle toning exercise. I recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their toning and bored with the same weight lifting moves.
