5.0 out of 5 stars A great pilates workout, December 23, 2007

By	J. Stevens (Eden Prairie, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I absolutely love Kathy Smith's workout videos and bought this one and was not disappointed. She does a short workout (about 4-5 minutes), and then comes a 20 minute cardio workout, then a 10 minute upper, 10 minute lower and a 5 minute cooldown. I am used to doing much 'harder' cardio workouts from her but this one concentrated on working your core, which is meant to strengthen your core and abs, not just give you a sweat. By the end of the 20 minute cardio, I was sweating (just not as much as I'm used to). Her upper and lowers were 10 minutes each and that was a little on the short side for me. I'm used to doing a 20 minute upper and 20 minute lower, which I feel is more beneficial.

If you have 50 minutes to spare, this is a great all-over body workout that does cardio, upper and lower along with a warmup and cooldown. My favourite DVD from Kathy Smith is her "Lift Weights to Lose Weight Volume 2".

I would recommend this DVD to anyone that is looking for an all-in-one workout. If you're looking for more of a complete workout, then go for her aerobics and do 40 minutes of that along with one of the workouts on Lift Weights to Lose Weight Volume 2.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for a light exercise day, February 16, 2008

By	Jocelyn G. Brown "Twins Mom" (Washington DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This workout is fun but not very intense. The pilates standing and mat sections are much better than the cardio section. It is good for a day when your muscles are tired but you still want to work out. It is hard not to like Kathy Smith no matter what she does.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just okay, February 10, 2008

By	Yoga maniac (IN) - See all my reviews

She is a little dancy in the aerobics part, which i am not into, but it is a good aerobic workout for me. The pilates part is good, but not spectacular.
