Customer Rating:      Summary: excellent and thorough workout Comment: The step part of this workout is FANTASTIC and I program my dvd to play just the cardio segment twice so I get a 60 min full cardio workout. I prefer to do my cardio in one session and my weights separately - just a personal preference - and this dvd allows this as you can program any/all of the cardio and toning sections with Karen's usual great menu system.
Karen is a favourite instructor of mine but if you are looking for the 'rah rah' cutesy cheerleader type you've come to the wrong place - Karen is serious but always professional and motivating.
The ball workout is light - don't get the dvd just for the ball exercises as they are brief (about 20 mins), but good as a change in muscle focus when you do all the ball toning together with the weights.
Another great workout from Karen - always top quality with the dvd menu system and her cueing and instruction are faultless.
Customer Rating:      Summary: BLT Segment Comment: I actually didn't know this dvd exsisted until I was browsing. I actually bought the BLT stability ball segment on a dvd all by itself at Best Buy for cheap. I love this segment or on my dvd that is all that is on it. It is fun and I feel SOOOO good after doing it!!! My muscles scream with pure pleasure!!! Some of the moves makes the muscles a little sore but mostly it is such a wonderful stretch! I love the feeling it gives! ;-)
Customer Rating:      Summary: Solid, circuit program... Comment: This video contains 2 workouts BLT on the Ball and Cardio/Strength. The BLT is a short 20 minute stability ball workout that focus on the butt, legs and abs. It isn't a tough workout by any means, but a nice little program when you are in the mood for some ball work. The shortness of the workout appeals to me as I rarely use it on it's own but in addition to other workouts or before my yoga.
Cardio/Strength is a circuit workout that alternates between step aerobic segments and weight work, there are 9 total circuits. There are 3 aerobic segments, which are very good, the combinations are fun and interesting while they really get the heartrate up, I really feel like I have worked after they are over. I think that the aerobic segments are tougher than the weight work. For the weight work you will need 2 sets of dumbells, light (3-5 lb), and heavier (5-10 lb). The weight work is short and sweet but you will hit all the muscle groups.
The DVD is well chaptered, you can choose to do the entire workout, a combo workout using the BLT segment, just the cardio, or just the strength. Lots of options, including a Circuits A La Carte where you can pick from any of the individual circuits which is a nice feature.
All in all, I highly recommend this video. Karen does a great job in this one, and the music is good too.
Customer Rating:      Summary: GREAT WORKOUT Comment: Excellent workout. Really gets the heart rate up. I love the step routines and the ball routines.
Customer Rating:      Summary: can't understand the lisp of the instructor, not a good one Comment: this is a goofy attempt at cross training, i can't stand the lisp of the instructor, i don't care if she is a trainer to the stars, i wouldn't hire her. the music is bland and the moves are not very coordinated, i would prefer a leisa hart type circuit video, this is weak and not worth it
