Summary: Karen Does it Again
Review: I love Karen Voight's exercise vids and DVDs. She is intelligent, professional and motivating without being patronizing or cutesy. But make no mistake--her workouts can be really tough! This is one of the easier ones with lots of mix n' match possibilies. The step cardio sections are fun without being too complicated. However, the circuits are longer than what you might expect--this is NOT one of those 2 minutes of cardio, then two minutes of strength workouts. The circuits are longer and there are fewer of them.

You need a exercise or Swiss ball for the BLT segment, which is fun. Using a ball can really enhance your toning since you have to spend the additional effort to maintain your balance. Just make sure you get the right sized ball!

The DVD interface is easy to use and allows you to choose what you want to do for that day with some preprogrammed combination workouts and some choices that focus on just a single area (upper body, cardio etc.)

Summary: Great workout
Review: Of all my exercise videos, I always come back to this one. This DVD has everything you need for your short or long workout preferences: you can choose to do the lon 1 hr. circuits with weights and step (fit ball option as well), or you can do them individually as a purely "strength" or "cardio" routines. The fitball option BLT (butt legs and thighs) is also a great addition to this DVD when you're not in the mood for something quite so strenuous. Karen's choreography is wonderful and the music is fun as well, which is hard to find for me-- I'm pretty picky, as I usually like modern, techno- hip-hop influenced routines.
The weight routines are also challenging and effective, however, at first you might feel like she doesn't do enough lower body-- but just wait for the last portion on the ball or step-- it's a killer!
Overall, this is the essential workout for me when I want to get a whole body, efficient program in 1hr-- I have yet to find a DVD that can match it!

Summary: Great workout
Review: This DVD is awesome. I exercise to it every morning. I love the ab work on the incline bench, I feel it everytime. I like to choose from different workouts so I never get bored. It makes me sweat so I know I'm getting a workout. Karen is so easy to follow, her cueing is great. I would not change a thing.

Summary: can't understand the lisp of the instructor, not a good one
Review: this is a goofy attempt at cross training, i can't stand the lisp of the instructor, i don't care if she is a trainer to the stars, i wouldn't hire her. the music is bland and the moves are not very coordinated, i would prefer a leisa hart type circuit video, this is weak and not worth it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent-lots of variety
Review: This is a great dvd-lots of options for your workout. Karen is easy to follow and personable.I like that some workouts use step,some use the ball and some with no equipment-I like that because I'm not a huge fan of step. Each segment is well laid out and complete, its an effective fun workout that gives you the option to create your own plan depending on how much time you've got and I like that!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Well-chaptered
Review: This is an extremely well-chaptered DVD. It contains two of KV's VHS workouts: BLT Ball Workout and Cardio/Strength. Both workouts are good, but this DVD takes them to new heights. The mix and match possibilities are endless, which make the whole more than the sum of the parts - even if the parts are very good alone. For the circuit workout, you can do it all together at once, as it is on the VHS, or you can do the cardio parts alone or the strength training parts alone. There are 2 ab workouts which can be done alone, together or as part of their respective workouts. Or you can choose exact parts of the DVD that you want to do with the a la carte menu option. An excellent and careful job was done on this DVD. I hope she/her company chapters ALL of her upcoming DVD workouts in as detailed a manner.
