Average Rating: Rating: - muscles in Pittsburgh I have been a fan of Kathy Smith videos since the early 90's when I used her fat burning aerobic tape daily and lost 80 pounds. I've always used weights on my own but never knew too many ways to use them and then I found this video. I have been using the upper body portion for nearly a month and I am amazed at the difference in my arms (even after the first couple uses!) The 20 minutes goes by so quickly that I'm usually shocked when it's over. For individuals that have never used weights before, make sure you start only with 3 or 5 lbs and work your way up. What they don't tell you on the video package is that you're supposed to have a set of three different size weights and if you don't have a weight bench to lay on, you'll have to use the floor with a pillow under your back for one part(Kathy instructs this.) The two track system allows you to do more reps with lighter weights or less with heavier ones. One thing I love about Kathy Smith is that she is encouraging without being annoying. Granted, a few whoops and squeals make it on the video, but who wants to hear a whole video of "you go girl, you can do it!" Not me. After Kathy Smith, I won't try out anyone else! I thought I would only use the upper portion part of the tape and one day decided to do the lower body. All the moves are very easy and make for a very complete workout. Like the upper body moves, I started seeing and feeling results. If you want to define your calves, quads and even your butt, she has some simple ways to do that! I'm impressed with the two portions of the video. Rating: - Great for all over body toning This is my favorite video. In the past I have used Kathy's Functionally Fit-Lower Body Firming tape and found that to be very effective, but had to do other tapes for arms, abs, etc. This tape combines 3 complete workouts: 1 for your upper body and arms, 1 for your lower body, and 1 for your abs. Each exercise is just long enough so that you feel the burn, but don't have to quit early. The entire tape (all 3 workouts) takes just under an hour, but you can split it up if you feel like only working certain parts. The upper and lower body workouts also have 2 tracks - using heavier weights, or lighter weights and more repetitions which makes for a nice change of pace. Kathy whoops and yells a little more than in her other videos, but the workout is good enough that I just ignore it! Rating: - Fast paced and Effective Kathy Smith leads you through two separate 20 minute workouts, one for your upper body and one for your lower body, and there is a "bonus" 7-minute abs and back workout at the end. Kathy uses her "dual track" system, so that you can either use lighter weights and do more reps, or heavier weights with recovery time. Kathy is extremly peppy, as usual, which might annoy some people. Frankly, the workout keeps you so busy that you don't have time to think about it! You move from one exercise to the next very quickly, sometimes a bit too quickly. I like this video, though, because you pack a lot into those 20 minutes--it's a great workout for working stiffs like me who really don't have much time to exercise. Many of the exercises themselves are classic moves, like concentration curls, french press, tricep dips, side laterals, flys, lunges, plies, etc. Some of the moves are more unique, especially in the lower body section. The abs section might be too short for some, or plenty for others depending on your level of fitness. I like that she includes a couple of back exercises--we mustn't forget about our backs in our quest to have "washboard" abs. Kathy's cuing is mostly good, at times a little off beat, and once or twice she cues a little late. I like the music, and it's at just the right volume relative to her voice. You will definitely see results if you use it regularly. All in all, a very good workout.
