I LOVE this video!!!January 17, 2002 N. Travers(Olmsted Falls, Ohio United States) 13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I have a TON of exercise videos, quite a few of Karen Voight's, and I have to tell you this one is my new favorite. I did this workout after doing 25 minutes of cardio from Karen's Strong and Smooth Moves video and it worked out wonderfully. Some of the moves (like for your butt) are pretty intense and others are a little lighter but you still feel them working. It was a wonderful mix! I felt so good when I finished this video! Karen does a standing warm-up in which she works your legs, then she proceeds to floorwork which is along the lines of Pilates. She uses the "green genie" balls (soft 3lb. weighted balls) or 5 lb. dumbbells for some exercises. (I just bought my 3lb. balls at Wal-mart--they were much cheaper there and they are great to work with instead of the dumbbells!--definitely worth the investment if you like Karen, she uses them in many of her other videos) The ab work was not overly intense but a nice change from endless crunches. If you focus, you can get an intense burn going. I definitely felt the butt and thigh work. All in all, I have to say, this is a great workout. I saw it had a bad review but I think if you are having difficulty getting some of the moves, all it would take would be watching or doing the video a few times. They are really not that complex. I absolutely recommend this video to all fitness levels!!
Terrible sound and movesJuly 26, 2001 16 out of 19 found this review helpful
I hated this video. First off, it sounds like she's in a warehouse doing an extremely amateur video. The sound is so muffled. Secondly, she moves and begins exercises so quickly that even when I got to know the moves I always found myself scrambling. Some of the exercises have so many moves attached it's hard to follow along as well. I am young and workout 4-5 times a week and I couldn't catch up. By the time I got into position, she was on the third or fourth rep. I didn't find the ab workout to be of any help at all. I found myself doing my own exercises while she did hers. I have alot of home workout videos, and I really found this one to be disappointing.
