Great workout DVD
This is a great value for a fitness DVD. It contains Kathy's Functionally Fit Fat Burning Workout, Secrets to a Great Upper Body Workout and Secrets to a Great Lower Body Workout. I like all three workouts. The cardio is about 30 minutes (including warm-up) and consists of higher impact intervals with lower impact recovery, including some lower body toning and a little balance work. Basic choreography and a great aerobic workout. The upper and lower body toning segments are really good workouts too, both about 40 min. They use body weight for some moves and weights for others, I can increase the weights as I gain strength. Surprising calf and shin work, I really felt those the next day. Kathy's a little quick between segments and you may need to back-up to catch the first moves, but that's minor. These are a little older workouts, maybe from the 90's(?), but very elegantly filmed and not dated. Overall, great workouts for the price.
Just Okay
I am a huge Kathy Smith fan, but I did not like this nearly as much as her other workouts. I found the lower body workout to be a bit boring--the music was way to mellow. I didn't like the introductions before each segment and I found the pace to be too slow. Also, Kathy seemed to be missing her usual energy. For toning, I would instead recommend her Lift Weights to Lose Weight, Volume 1.
However, I did enjoy the cardio segment, which is why I gave the dvd two stars. It's a nice workout if you don't have a lot of time. It gets you moving and is a good pace.
Great!!
This 3 in 1 is awesome!! The upper body workout is perfect for anyone biginner or advanced and a nice break from the peak fat burning workout that really gets the heart going. Again VERY easy to follow workouts that really get results!! And if you are worried about the amount of room in your home to workout...don't be, you don't need a ton of space to do these workouts.
