I have been working out at home with videos since the Jane Fonda Original workout days. I even had the album that preceeded that video. I have about 40 exercise videos. This one is my favorites and I've been using it several times a week for months. I personally notice a tremendous increase in strength, endurance and overall tone. It's a well done video, sparing us the obnoxious music, clothing, sets and instructors of most tapes. Kaehler is a no-nonsense instructor and I didn't even notice the absence of fellow exercisers in this tape. She uses easy to do, tough calisthenic-type exercises that really get you sweating and panting. All you need is one set of light weights, a chair for balance during some sections and a little space. What I love is the way she alternates between upper and lower body sections, enabling you to do more than you might normally be able to if you did all of the leg exercises or uper body work together. The only thing missing is an abdominal section, but the rest of your body will get a terrific all around workout. Excellent for alternating with a good cardio program. Keep water handy during this one! END

This is my first Kathy Kaehler video, and I loved it! She is calming and encouraging, and there's no floor work! I was able to do the whole video the first time through, and I am about to turn 50 and have just lost 50 lbs. It's great the way she alternates between upper body and lower body, and the stretching at the end felt good. My muscles really felt like they'd had a good workout, but I felt great when I finished the video. I would have given 5 stars, but I wish it had included some ab work too.

I love Kathy Kaehler's videos so much, I bought other tapes choreographed by her (Cyndy Crawford and Claudia Shiffer). She is just perfect to workout with. Her voice is soothing and personable, that you feel like she's right there training you. If you're looking for a full body workout, her it is....oh, except she doesn't work on the abs. Her tape is not a typical aerobic workout but more so she does sets and repetitions; you don't feel like you're out of breathe by the end of the tape. Also, she is such an inspiration I have read her "Real World Fitness" book. Its a good motivation to keep up with those days you feel like you're not happy with yourself. I want more Kathy Kahaeler books and exercise tapes!

I first tried a Kathy Kaehler video through her Perfectly Fit series with Claudia Schiffer - which I love. I've also tried her Strong Legs video. All great. THIS video is great as well. It's perfect for those who want an overall toning exercise squeezed into 40 minutes. For a more concentrated workout on each muscle area - try the Claudia Schiffer tapes. HOWEVER, there aren't any new exercises here. It's the usual squats, lunges, overhead tricep curl, etc. But the plus side is the way Kathy developed the program. You alternate between upper body and lower body, therefore not completely exhausting your muscle. And you still manage to break into a sweat. As always, Kathy's couching is calm and motivating.

This video was part of a series (Abs & More with Kelli Roberts and Sculpt & Grove with Kacy Duke) and that would explain why there are no ab workouts here.

I would recommend this tape for anyone who needs more variety in their weighted workouts! I have over 100 workout tape and this is a great one. Kathy is a great instructor. It is fast-paced, so it doesn't take a lot of time, but still provides a good variety of weighted moves. I would not use this tape as my main lifting tape, but it does add variety.
Remember however, YOU NEED TO DO YOUR OWN BICEP AND AB WORKOUT BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT INCLUDE THEM IN HER TAPE.

This is a great workout video. It's easy to follow and Kathy is very pleasant. I've been doing these exercises for about a month and already can see results in my arms. The only drawback is there is not any stomach work in this video.

I started out using this video thinkingit was a great beginner video..but since then i have continued for over the past 3 years to use it..It is a GREAT workout for all exercisers..it got me in the best shape ever...i also run/walk..and use her Claudia schiffer abs tape.Kathy is the best..I love her and her videos..She is not rail thin and offers much encouragement..I want more KK videos..

Kathy Kaehler may be a fitness guru and offer a great workout, unfortunately, this video was done before she and her producers got wise to the effects of color and music on the viewer. The exercises in the video are great, no question they work. The production value of the video was very poor though and the video is completely filmed in greys, tans and beiges. If you want a workout tape that visually conveys that working out is a DRUDGERY, then this is the tape for you.

I bought this tape after buying and thoroughly enjoying the "New Dimensions" tape by Kathy Kaehler with Cindy Crawford. In this newer video, the producers wised up and the tape is filmed in great cool, soothing blues with great scenery (beaches, skylines, etc.) and nice music. I was looking for another tape to add variety, but Target & Tone was not the workout for me!
