I am a big follower of Kathy Smith and have several of her workout DVDs. This is a great workout with weights in a short amount of time and Kathy keeps it interesting as usual. Unfortunately, I really didn't like the bonus stability ball workout. The camera moves around too much and it is hard to follow. There is so much movement that it makes you a bit dizzy watching it. I think the intent was to make it look more artistic, but really it just ends up being a disappointment. If you are going to buy this DVD, buy it for the workout with weights!

I have been doing this DVD consistently for the past month and I have to say, my posture IS actually greatly improved and I am seeing definition in my arms. The exercises add a new twist to your usual weight routines and Kathy's right about it helping your core and posture. I don't really care for the floor upper body routine but the rest is great. I love that arms and legs are seperate, as well. I run alot so I use the upperbody section more often. I deducted a star though for some poor cueing and technique instuction ( esp floor upperbody).

This is a great workout. It works all the muscle groups and is challenging at any level with the options Kathy gives to follow a lighter group or the group that utilized heavier weights. The other information contained on this DVD is very useful for any fitness level!

I've been doing the tape version of this exercise DVD for years and love it. Twenty minutes a day has helped me stay firm and fit. I do the upper twice a week, the lower twice a week and the stomach every day. Try it, you'll like it.

My sister told me about these Kathy Smith CD's. You can fit 20 minutes in a day, plus the 10 minute abs and feel really good about making a difference. She says in 6 weeks you'll notice a difference and it's true! My arms and back and legs are all more toned now. I'll keep going. I vary it by using Weights I and II in the series.

As a long time fan of Kathy Smith, I found Lift Weights to Lose Weight 2 to be exactly what I was looking for to alternate working out with weights on alternating days and the selections allow for one long workout or broken up into sections. Kathy Smith keeps the tempo lively, offers excellent cues making this DVD a wonderful, whole body workout.

I have always been a fan of Kathy Smith's and have used many of her fitness DVDs in the past. I've never been disappointed! I love this DVD! I like that I can work my upper and lower body and my abs in less than hour. I love that instead of working individual muscle groups, she incorporates multiple muscle groups to be more efficient and burn more calories. I use this DVD along with Kathy Smith's Lift Weights to Lose Weight (first volume), Yoga Sculpt, and Tummy Trimmers. I mix up the workout every week, and I am noticing a significant difference! I recommend this DVD for anyone who wants to tone, but doesn't have time to run back and forth to the Gym. I have two children and work from home, and I can fit this workout into my routine. Five stars!

I like all Kathy Smith's DVD's. This is a good one but it's just not a beginner's DVD and I didn't really expect to be. I will save it until I'm up to this level.

I have an injured leg at the moment and thank goodness for this dvd as it is split into lower body upper body sections I can work out my upper body whilst letting my leg rest. It is no nonsense easy to follow and as a regular gym junkie I still felt the burn. highly recommend.

I have the Jillian Michaels weights workout (no more trouble zones), and the Jackie one, and this one is by far the best and the longest. The exercises are more novel here, they're easier to modify for harder and easier, and very well explained. I was definitely sore the next day!
