5.0 out of 5 stars
Very good calorie burner and muscle toner,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kathy Smith's Fat Burning Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Kathy Smith's Fat Burning Workout is a fairly simple, low impact workout that will get you sweating and burning calories. Built into the aerobic sections are "focus" segments which focus on a particular area of the body (such as the thighs, biceps, triceps, etc.). There are also modifiers for those who have trouble with some of the moves who are just starting out. Leg exercises traditionally done on the floor are done while standing, so this would be a good video for people who don't like getting down on the floor. Overall, you should definitely notice your waist getting smaller and stronger muscles (especially in the legs) developing on your body if you can stick with this workout. This video is simple enough for a beginner, but good for anyone wanting a good overall workout to burn calories and tone muscle.

Burn the fat, tone the muscle!,

This review is from: Kathy Smith's Fat Burning Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)
With this video, you have an effective aerobic session and SIMULTANEOUS muscle group toning, not before, not after, DURING! Kathy says there are three new discoveries here: LOW and SLOW - lower intensity target range keeps you in fat burning state. LONGER TIME - to change shape, the body starts to burn fat as chief fuel. If you exercise beyond 15 minutes, greater percentage of energy comes from fat deposits. And last: MUSCLE TONING - coupled with continuous movement. This 70 minute 1988 tape is nearly 40 minutes of fat burning, topped off with effective cool down and floor stretch. The program is well structured and divided into six segments, these usually average 5-6 minutes and when doing the workout, it can seem much longer. Fat burning charts and exertion charts pop up periodically. Kathy's exercise group consists of about six other students, average, plain looking people, no fluff to distract you. You will see Modifiers, a person who will perform the lower impact version if needed. Also, inserts pop up to show the particular muscle that is working at the time and its proper name. Music is tolerable. Steps are very easy to follow, and are done without constantly changing, I like that! Sections One through Six focuses on arm and leg movement working theouter thigh and buttocks, leg work, knee lifts, obliques (waist), biceps, triceps, middle back, hamstring lunges, focus on quadriceps, gluts, inner thigh, hips, efficient cool down and stretch There are a few select exercise video tapes I prefer and Kathy Smith is one. This is one of the better tapes because it includes Fat burning and muscle toning in the same steps! You get it all done with this tape. Excellent......MzRizz.

Something for everyone,

This review is from: Kathy Smith's Fat Burning Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)
If you can get past the dated outfits and nondescript music of the eighties, you will probably enjoy this workout, no matter what your level. The premise of this workout is that a longer, lighter workout burns more fat than a quick, intense one. So the goal here is to keep your heart rate at the lower end to allow a longer workout, thus more fat-burning. But if you are advanced, there's no reason you can't add more range of motion (or strap on wrist and ankle weights) for more rewarding results; if you're a beginner, just turn the tape off when you've had enough but DON'T forget to cool down a little with a little walking around the house). Enclosed in the video is a "Fat Burning Nutritional Tips" booklet, which pretty much advocates high carbs, low fat - she doesn't differentiate between good and bad fats, but she DOES recommend your carbs be the quality kind - whole grains, fresh fruits and veggies, etc.The 55 minutes are broken down into a warm-up, 6 workout segments, and a cool down/stretch. The six workout segments are interval training: aerobics mixed with some strength and toning exercises. The steps are easy to follow and pretty basic. The toning includes your typical lunges, squats, arm and shoulder work (using your body only for resistance - or pick up a set of weights and really work it), as well as even some back exercises. If you are a beginner, this video serves as a really good starting point. I consider myself advanced and can make it through the whole thing quite easily, but with a nice sweat, thanks to the extra energy I put into the routine. This workout is simple enough that most people can catch on during the first time through the video. This fact is enough to bore me after the third or fourth time (I require constant challenge for the most part), so I'm glad I borrowed this from the local library instead of buying it. You can buy this one on ebay for a couple dollars and for that reason, it's a good one to add to your collection, even if you only do it a few times a year, mixed in with your regular workouts. If you're new to the workout world, this could, quite possibly, be the video that you do until the tape breaks or until you decide to move it up a level. LEVEL: All EQUIPMENT: None YEAR: 1988 LENGTH: about an hour
