Kathy Smith is so upbeat, sensible, and easy to follow that if you abide by her instructions, you can't help but get a good workout. Functionally Fit: Peak Fat Burning should definitely be one of your keepers. Smith's tried-and-true workout method here combines six two-minute intense bursts of aerobic activity, spliced between recovery exercises, which include loads of lunges and squats. The pace is just right for intermediate to advanced students--the high-energy segments really fly by. The presentation is clear and very easy to follow (it helps that the moves are very simple, even when done at the maximum-intensity level). The session includes 6 minutes of warm-up (some of which is vigorous enough that total beginners should plan to take it very easy), 25 minutes of the interval-and-active-recovery workout, and 7 minutes of cool-down and stretch. True beginners, while given options of following some low-impact moves, may find the overall intensity level too high. The upper body doesn't get much attention here, but this video is topnotch for lower-body toning and overall cardio fitness. --Anne Hurley
