Karen Does it Again, September 14, 2002
This review is from: Karen Voight - Ultimate Circuit Training (DVD)
I love Karen Voight's exercise vids and DVDs. She is intelligent, professional and motivating without being patronizing or cutesy. But make no mistake--her workouts can be really tough! This is one of the easier ones with lots of mix n' match possibilies. The step cardio sections are fun without being too complicated. However, the circuits are longer than what you might expect--this is NOT one of those 2 minutes of cardio, then two minutes of strength workouts. The circuits are longer and there are fewer of them. You need a exercise or Swiss ball for the BLT segment, which is fun. Using a ball can really enhance your toning since you have to spend the additional effort to maintain your balance. Just make sure you get the right sized ball! The DVD interface is easy to use and allows you to choose what you want to do for that day with some preprogrammed combination workouts and some choices that focus on just a single area (upper body, cardio etc.)

A favorite!, May 19, 2003
This review is from: Karen Voight - Ultimate Circuit Training (DVD)
Of all my exercise videos, I always come back to this one. This DVD has everything you need for your short or long workout preferences: you can choose to do the lon 1 hr. circuits with weights and step (fit ball option as well), or you can do them individually as a purely "strength" or "cardio" routines. The fitball option BLT (butt legs and thighs) is also a great addition to this DVD when you're not in the mood for something quite so strenuous. Karen's choreography is wonderful and the music is fun as well, which is hard to find for me-- I'm pretty picky, as I usually like modern, techno- hip-hop influenced routines. The weight routines are also challenging and effective, however, at first you might feel like she doesn't do enough lower body-- but just wait for the last portion on the ball or step-- it's a killer! Overall, this is the essential workout for me when I want to get a whole body, efficient program in 1hr-- I have yet to find a DVD that can match it!

Great workout, June 10, 2003

This review is from: Karen Voight - Ultimate Circuit Training (DVD)
This DVD is awesome. I exercise to it every morning. I love the ab work on the incline bench, I feel it everytime. I like to choose from different workouts so I never get bored. It makes me sweat so I know I'm getting a workout. Karen is so easy to follow, her cueing is great. I would not change a thing.
