GIVE KATHY A BREAK!!!

I had been doing this workout on a regular basis many years ago. I recently bought the DVD to update my workout collection. For those who say that you got a good workout, what is your complaint!! Most videos don't even offer that. I love this workout for hard days, and other videos fill in the other days. I have to say that you don't have to listen to the video- play your own music. BE CREATIVE! I would highly recommend this video. June 11, 2008

Yes, Kathy acts a little loopy in this one

...but it is still a good workout. I personally liked the breaks because it gave me a chance to catch my breath too. LOL! This workout is a tough circuit workout alternating cardio that mainly targets the lower body with upper body weight segments. I agree that there are too many reps on the upper body segments but if you're advanced, which the name of the workout suggests you should be, you should know how to modify. There also was not a great variety of exercises in this workout but I like my workouts simple and who says you have to do 20 different exercises to get good results? Also, she does not stretch in between sets but I just did that on my own while they set up for the next set. Yes, she spends a lot of time explaining but if you're advanced, you know to just start the exercise while she's talking. There is not an ab segment in this workout which I would have liked to see but overall, I liked the workout. And about the guy who comes running in at the end hugging Kathy and yelling "you did it", who sticks around to watch the workout after the stretch? I know I don't. It has absolutely nothing to do with the workout. In fact, most of these negative comments have nothing to do with the workout itself. If you're the type of person who can focus on the workout itself and not on the minor annoyances that can be found in just about every workout then you will probably enjoy this workout.

Great for inner thigh and glutes, but not much else.

Kathy spends too much time explaining proper form, if you are an advanced exerciser you already know proper form.

Too many reps for the weight exercises, and her faster tempo reps are too fast. Instead of flailing my arms about trying to keep up, I go at a slower more controled pace for fewer reps. She does so many reps that even when I go slower, I can do plenty in the same amount of time.

All the weight work is upper body, all the cardio is lower body. Not really my style. There are better videos out there. I felt like it really worked my inner thighs/glutes but not much else. December 28, 2007

Awful!!

This is a tough advanced level workout. That is the ONLY good thing I can say about it.

First, I think it is too hard for Kathy. At certain points, she can barely speak, she's so tired. Other times, her form is terrible because she's tired.

Second, it is terribly boring. The weight circuits alternate with cardio circuits, but you are doing the SAME cardio circuit each time. yaaaawwwwnnnnn!

Third, the weight training circuits have you doing two sets of 20 reps per exercise. I'd rather have three sets of fewer reps or maybe to some different types of exercises for that particular muscle (i.e. 20 bicep curls and 20 hammer curls).

Fourth, no ab work to speak of.

Fifth, Kathy's "banter" with the other exercisers is annoying.

Lastly, you will want to reach into the TV and smack Andre (one fo the back-up exercisers) after about 10 minutes. He's just that irritating and distracting. May 9, 2007

Really Disappointing

As a fan of kathy's first video -- total fitness workout -- i was really looking forward to this one. I hate to say this but it really stinks -- working out has to be fun, concise, get the job done etc. etc... this isn't fun and it's way too long and just plain boring. I turned it off after the first 15 minutes -- don't bother buying this one, it's terrible!! It's not an exercise routine that you would enjoy doing over and over -- what happened???? May 8, 2006
