Summary: A great workout that goes by quickly!
Review: I always return to this workout when getting back into shape-it is motivating, and you break out a good sweat, but if you are lacking energy you can also modify your workout to a lower impact. GREAT! Kathy Smith is encouraging without being annoying. One of my all time fave workout videos.

Summary: High energy/Low impact mix of fatburning & lower body toning
Review: This is one of my favorite workouts. I had it in the VHS format and bought it again as a DVD. It starts with a typical warm-up, and then she moves into alternating two-minute, fast-paced intervals where you get your heart rate up to the point of being just out of breath with two-minute toning segments where you do squats and lunges and other toning exercises as your heart rate comes back to normal. Just as you start to catch your breath, it's time for another interval. What I like about this is that the moves are fun, easy, LOW IMPACT, yet still really get you sweating and breathing hard. And the next day you will definitely feel it in your buns and thighs. So you get aerobics and strength training at the same time. And you don't need to use any weights. The workout lasts about 30 minutes, with a cool down. When I first got the tape, I couldn't do as many squats as they do on the tape, but I just marched in place when I couldn't do any more, and it was still a great workout because of the fast-paced intervals.

Summary: I love this tape!
Review: I have had this tape for over five years! I still do it regularly. I love the interval training set-up. You do aerobics for two minutes and toning for two minutes. It makes the time fly by! It is always a good workout for me.

Summary: I really like this workout
Review: Kathy really gets your heart pumping on this one! If you're in great shape, maybe this tape is too short, but at about 40 minutes, it's good for beginners and intermediates. Yes, the music is a little cheesy, but who cares if the tape is giving you a good workout? I recommend it highly.

Summary: Great Variety in Moves
Review: I have been exercising, (on and off), for over 13 years and I really like this tape. Kathy is very energetic and a little bit spastic..but she gets the job done and the stretching segment at the end is really good. I love the intervals she does, it allows you to really see how your progressing. I would recommend this tape to those who exercise on an intermediate to advanced level and who really like a challenge. D. Lauderdale - Magnolia, Texas

Summary: A Great Workout
Review: This tape is challenging and fun to use. Once again Kathy gives several different levels of intensity so it only becomes too easy if you let it. She uses interval training in this one so you have two minutes of high intensity areobics followed by an "active recovery" - as you catch your breath she leads you through a series of squats and other lower body strengthening. I'm usually sweating pretty hard by the end. I could do without the fake smiles plastered on the girls' behind her, but otherwise I look forward to popping in this tape and working my butt off - literally!

Summary: An Exhilirating Time Efficient Workout!
Review: This is a very good intermediate tape. The moves are basic and athletic but it gave me a good sweat - especially if you push yourself in the power moves. Kathy is not known for complex dancy choreography and I like that. I prefer athletic moves wherein you can push yourself to the max.Kathy's recent tapes give you the option to do that.You can do this video along with another for total fat blasting- a step or kickboxing tape would be great too!

Summary: Instant Gratification
Review: It took me a few times to get used to the lack of music in this workout tape, but after only a few short weeks of doing it 3 x a week I noticed a dramatic difference! I strongly recommend this workout for someone who has trouble making the time to work out. It works several groups together instead of focusing on one at a time! Love it!

Summary: I love this tape!
Review: The Peak Fat Burning tape by Kathy Smith lives up to its name! This is now my favorite aerobic tape - I use it 3 days a week, and I'm noticing changes in my stamina, balance, and posture, not to mention the 20 pounds I've lost since deciding to get back in shape. The intervals really push you hard and get your heart rate up, and the lower body toning is a nice bonus. Kathy Smith is excellent at reminding you to keep proper form when exercising - very important so that you are less susceptible to injuries. She packs a ton in only 40 minutes!
