Summary: One of My Favorite Workouts
Review: I have had this tape for a few years now, and I haven't outgrown it yet! I just keep buying heavier hand and leg weights. Kathy systematically works you top to bottom using hand weights, leg weights (optional), and a step or weight bench (I use a step). Both the upper and lower body segments (she works on your balance some during the lower body segment, it's great!) are 20 minutes, and if you want to warm up, you will have to do that on your own because she does not include it. Overall, this is an excellent, well thought out tape.

Summary: Awesome workout
Review: I love this video because it has really toned my muscles and helped me lose some pounds. It is simple to do- all you need is a chair, 5 lb dumbells (or whatever weight you use), and a mat (optional...not necessary). I like it because you can really feel your muscles working and the sweat is pouring. It's very effective. Highly recommended!!!

Summary: YOUR OWN PERSONAL TRAINER!
Review: THIS WORKOUT COVERS MOST OF THE BASICS IN DOING HANDWEIGHTS SIMILAR TO THE MOVES A PERSONAL TRAINER WOULD DEMONSTRATE. THE WORKOUT IS DONE IN 20 MINUTES AND MOST OF THE UPPER, LOWER, AND MIDDLE BODY IS COVERED. KATHY MAY BE A LITTLE HYPER IN THIS WORKOUT BUT I THINK IT'S FUNNY AND IT REMINDS ME THAT SHE'S JUST HAVING A GOOD TIME. I FIND MYSELF SMILING WHEN SHE LETS OUT HER WHOOAS! I SEEN RESULTS FAIRLY QUICK.

Summary: I can't hear you!
Review: This tape is the reason I wish opened video purchases were refundable. Why does she have to yell when she has a microphone? I think Kathy had a little too much caffeine before the workout. She feels the need to stop exercising and run around to the other exercisers and "coach" them, though it seems they are doing fine on their own. It's a good tape for results, but the exercises are no different than Tamilee Webb's Buns of Steel, Legs of Steel, etc. And Tamilee doesn't shout at you through the entire tape, "whooping" every now and then as if she were goosed. I will just put my TV on mute and enjoy the workout.

Summary: Good Total-Body Workout
Review: As an advanced exerciser, this a good video to add to your daily mix of strengthening tapes. It includes a 30-min upper body and a 30-min lower body workout with a bonus (easy) ab section.
I would not call it a "time-saver" because it is an hour workout. (You could get a tougher workout in half the time of this video). It is good for beginner to intermediate exercisers.

Summary: GREAT TOTAL BODY WORKOUT WITH WEIGHTS
Review: I have been doing Kathy Smith's workouts for about 5 years and the results are great. I have been doing Litf Weights to Loose Weights for about two years (off-and-on) and this workout really works. I don't mind the yelling as much. If you want motivation and want to have fun, then the yelling is for you. I yell and repeat the same words she uses, because it makes my workout fun. If you want to workout and you're not having fun, then why bother. I know that the yelling keeps me motivated. This workout is great for beginners and advance strength trainers. I recommend it to anyone who likes to enjoy a really fun workout.

Summary: VERY EFFECTIVE
Review: This particular video helped me with toning my upper and lower body including my abs. You really don't need much but a bench or chair and 3 sets of dumbells. Kathy really peps you up by her upbeat personality which I found very helpful and fun! The excitement in her voice only reminds me of how I feel when I'm done,(I just don't do it she does it for me.) Whoever says she is annoying must like boring workouts that are quiet and boring. Who wants that? Plus the workout is VERY EFFECTIVE, in the shortest amount of time. I started noticing results after two weeks and my friends were like, "Wow where have you been working out at? " I said Kathy Smith has a video that really works. What do ya know, they are roomates so they went out and bought it and do it all the time. I even made a sale for Kathy from the apparent results I accomplished from this video. If you don't have CARDIO timesaver, then I suggest warming up like she explains in the beginning. The CARDIO timesaver was intended to be used with this workout. She does speed through the workout quickly from one move to the next but once you do it a lot then you know whats move is next anyway. To sum it up, it gets the job done and I'm never bored with this one...

Summary: Annoying
Review: I have tried and tried to use her video but her voice is so annoying that after a few minutes I have to turn it off. Would never buy a tape from her again.

Summary: Too annoying
Review: I exercised to this tape a few times and finally stopped because Kathy is just too annoying, all that shouting and screeching is just too much. If she wasn't so noisy, maybe I could have enjoyed the video more

Summary: Too flashy, not good for home.
Review: This DVD requires you to have weights, which is fine. But it also expects you to have a gym bench! (Not a step, a bench.) If there were no other way to work out with weights, I would say OK, but there are zillions of weight-lifting exercises that don't require a bench. To see them, just go to a body sculpting class at any decent gym anywhere in America. Also, the exercises are done way too fast (making injury highly likely), and there's little or no explanation of the exercises. I guess this was originally a video, because it doesn't have any DVD-style features. I bought this for somebody because it was the only weight workout I could find on DVD. It's adequate, but somebody should make a better one.
