Summary: ONE OF THE BEST WORKOUT DVD'S ON THE MARKET

Summary: Why is this woman yelling?
Review: Who is she screaming at? Not me anymore. This tape so annoyed me I tried to contact her company and get my money back - no luck. The actual exercises look pretty good so I went to the trouble of writing them time thinking I could watch and do without the sound, but that grew old very fast. The bottom line: don't buy unless you think shrill, loud yelling is motivating.

Summary: Hate it
Review: Not only does she annoy me with her wailing, but my entire family complains about it. And where's the music? I could deal with her noises but she is terrible at counting, (she even loses count several times)keeping tempo, her transition is so bad I've nearly hurt myself and she uses the term 'pump it' for every move, which can be confusing. This is my first and last Kathy Smith tape. I'm moving on to Tamilee.

Summary: A good workout in a short amount of time
Review: I have had this tape for about 4 years now. I enjoy it because it is short and quick. I find that the time flies by while you are working out. If you are an experienced weight lifter this tape is not for you. It is basically for somebody who wants to have a weight lifting as a part of their exercise program and see minimum results. Of course you can use heavier weights as you build up to them.
I incorporate this tape into my routine 4 times a week, alternating the upper body work with the lower body work. You want to have a day of rest between workouts. It conditions your muscles better that way.

Summary: Another great video from Kathy Smith
Review: This is a really great video for people who want to get strong and fit and use weigts and not have to spend a day in the gym every day. Its about 48 mins for both workouts and abs and its really great. I felt better after the first week and I do this tape every other day with 3, 5 and 10lb weights. Kathy Smith is the greatest. I dont agree with one bad review she got she is very motivating and who wants to watch a video where someone isnt enthusiastic?? Shes #1 in my book!

Summary: nice work out,
Review: This is a very nice effective workout. My sister and I have a rule, if this tape is on, it is a no sound tape. Kathy screams and yells and is generally incredible obnoxius through out the tape.
My arms look better, twenty mins is just right, and I am up to medium weights in three weeks. But be warned, the instructor is noisy and a pain to hear.

Summary: The best Kathy Smith tape I've used
Review: The tape is very good. Two toning segments are twenty minutes long each. The first segment is upper body, the second section focuses on legs. There is an additional short ab section at the end. This tape is clear, concise, and effective. If the goal is to define and strengthen - mission accomplished. The fact that you are lifting weights will also provide some cardio. I find many group atmospheres "staged" in these fitness videos. However, contrary to some other reviews on this tape - this one is fine.

Summary: Didn't notice the so called hyena sound
Review: This workout was great! Some reviews had me afraid of getting this tape b/c of her annoying sounds. I simply did not notice this. True every now and then she would let out a "WHEW" but so what. The same people that commented on this would have still been dissatisfied if she let out a grunt, a commonly done thing when you're lifting weights. There was no warm up and I didn't expect one nor am I going to make a big deal about it. All in all this video exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it to those familiar with weight lifting.

Summary: Effective, yet annoying
Review: My first Kathy Smith video, and definitely my last. Although the workout was effective, especially in my arms, shoulders and butt (I could feel the effects for two days), I will be looking for another strength-training video. Kathy talked through the entire video and screamed like a hyena. Not much for warm-up or stretching, either!

Summary: I'm very impressed and I'm getting good results!
Review: I like the fact that you can go heavy and that the routine can easily be split into 2 workouts. I split the exercises Day1: lower and abs, 2nd day upper and abs. Each workout is about 30 minutes. To keep the routines challenging I keep increasing the weight on both the ankle weights and dumbells. I do agree that Kathy is a little bit hyper and exhuberant but I don't mind since I find it motivating. Some change overs are a little fast, but I am going heavier and go at my own pace. I find that I can always motivate myself to do these exercises because they're only a 1/2 hour. I have been getting very good results. I have been doing this routine for 3 months.
