Great workout!

Kathy gives simple instructions and the moves are great for beginners, yet could easily be modified for a more intense workout. It's only 35 minutes so it easily fits into my day, but really gets me sweating and I feel the burn the next day. The cardio section is short, but just enough for a short workout when combined with the weight training. Love it! September 15, 2008

Not worth it

Even though I think this one is slightly better than the Workout Class DVD, it's still nothing to recommend. It is chaptered into 5-minute segments which is a good feature (like warmup - cardio blast - bottoms - arms - legs - abs - stretch) for a total of 35 minutes. The exercises are not long enough to be challenging and I used ankle weights and heavy dumbbells, but I've seen worse DVDs. I also have to agree with another reviewer who said Kathy seemed somewhat heavy with a pretty thick middle and huge arms. September 12, 2008

Love It!!

I love, love, love this workout so much I'm purchasing it again after loosing it in a recent move. I've been lost without this simple and very effective routine. I lost 10 pounds by faithfully using this DVD and feel this is the easiest and most motivating workout I have ever encountered!! January 12, 2008

Best Workout Video

I have tried several work out videos, including Cindy Crawford. This video by Kathy Kaehler is the best video I've tried. It seems effortless and easy yet is very powerful and effective. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to pick up their energy level, get more flexible, and toned. This is not a very demanding tape, it is not for workout 'experts' but it is fun, relaxing, music is good, and it is not difficult to the point where you don't want to keep working out. I never have problems keeping up my routine because I see and feel the results and that keeps me motivated. Kathy is very pleasant, nice, and a 'real person' not some made up Barbie doll, and it feels like you are working out with a friend. I would sincerely recommend this video to anyone.

Kathy Kaehler Total Fitness Workout

I too, was disappointed in this video. The excercies are mundane and I feel bad saying this, but I have hard time looking at her. She has more of a masculine body and actually does not look like she is in shape. Personally if I am going to follow an instructor I would like them to look better than I do. I have recently purchased several DVD workout videos from a variety of instructors that I really like alot. I know I will never play this one unless it is absolutely necessary. November 7, 2007
