5.0 out of 5 stars Creative, thorough, long, tough muscle-strengthening workout, October 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Karen Voight - Great Weighted Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

-Think you are ready for a tougher toning/sculpting tape? This is it!
-You need lighter hand weights than you would normally use, because you will do many repetitions of big, interesting compound movements. You also need ankle weights and a mat. The workout team shows how to use a 3-pound "body ball" or weights for some of the exercises. (The ball is NOT necessary).
-The first section of the tape is all done standing, and the second section is done on the floor, so you are not constantly lying down and standing up to move from one exercise to the next.
-Karen Voight speaks like a really good teacher, not a peppy cheerleader. She explains proper form in great detail and demonstrates common mistakes to avoid, all during the workout so you don't have to stop working to learn the moves.
-The only thing I don't like is the music, which is very heavy rock.
-The approach of many repetitions of compound movements is a good addition to a varied workout routine. I also have tapes with 12-16 repetitions of isolation exercises and few repetitions of compound moves with heavy weights, so this works your muscles in new ways.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Video, December 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Karen Voight - Great Weighted Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is the first video I've purchased utilizing weights and figured I couldn't go wrong with Karen Voight. I own 5 other Karen Voight videos and all are exceptional workouts. You know you've accomplished something when you're done with one of her videos, and this tape is no exception. Its 85 minutes long and quite challenging but you'll see and feel results almost immediately. I've lost quite a few inches in less than a month doing this tape at least three times a week. Bottom line - it works!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cant find a workout to beat this one, November 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Karen Voight - Great Weighted Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have been working out to this video for two months now and it still kicks. The video is divided into 3 segments, upper body, lower body and abs. It starts with a very thorough warm up.
The upper body with weights is the toughest. The first five minutes or so works the larger muscles and I am able to use seven pound weights, then I have to switch to 2 pound weights, to complete the upper body, there is barely any rest from one exercise to another and often you are working two muscle groups simultaneously while moving your lower body. The moves are easy to follow, but take a lot of willpower to complete the reps. Believe me your muscles will be burning when you finish the upper body part. I really enjoy the lower body, no lunges, squats and all that, you lie down almost the entire time and work the outer and inner thigh, the buttocks and the back and front of thighs. I dont do the ab section too often for some reason it stresses my neck too much, although it is definately a challenge. The entire workout uses weights, you can adjust according to your needs.
I sugest you get this tape if you want a really challenging sculpting workout. I have definately developed more upper body shape and strength, I can actually do at least ten full push ups at a time, as a woman these are difficult to do. I have been working out for a while now and so far this is one of the most challenging workouts I have done so far, I am still looking for one to match it. The entire workout is 84 minutes, I have never done the complete tape as yet, but Im working on it.
