Karen Voight's Energy Sprint |
  Dated, but good workout |
| I did just purchase this dvd even though it is old. I had to laugh when first turning it on with the outfits they wear. However it is still a workout no matter what they are wearing! I think her cueing could be better and it did get boring in spots but it was still effective. I felt she rushes through the warmup and through the stretching. I am not a big Karen Voights fan, so if someone else would have done this workout, I probably would have given it 5 stars. - posted by Mac on 9/28/2009 |

| Old School Karen |
| Pulled this out again after ten years! You have to laugh at the dated outfits but this is still a great workout. I'm giving 4 stars for 2 reasons: first, I do have to say the standing legwork is rather boring and 2) the opening section of the arm work really bothered my shoulders, especially the lat move - taking your arms straight over your head. But that might just be me getting older :-) The ab routine, forget it - Karen at her absolute best. It hurt to laugh the next day. - posted by Sue on 6/1/2009 |

| I Still Love It. |
| I did this for the first time in years. I used to do it every day with light hand weights! This really kicked my butt today. The only criticism I have is the warm up and the lame toning work at the beginning. I still used the VHS tape. When I get my DVD this is so getting programmed out. An earlier poster said this started out as an advanced workout and has over the years become an intermediate. I've gone just the other way. I was 48 when I bought this, now at 61 this is definitely advanced. - posted by Robin on 3/30/2009 |

| Another killer Voight workout ! |
| This has been in my library for 11+ years and it still rocks ! Karen's old school videos (like this one, Great Weighted and Streamline among others) will absolutely shred you up if you use them consistently. I love the DVD format where you can pick and choose how long/intense a workout you want to do - excellent ! - posted by C.S. on 12/23/2008 |

| Bought it for the 2nd time |
| I originally had this workout on VHS in 1993 after I had my first baby. I just had another baby 2 months ago and decided to order it again for a postpartum workout. Talk about TOUGH! I worked out my whole pregnancy but this workout is kicking my butt and taking off the pounds just like it did the last time I used it. The intervals are just long enough. And if it does get easier I'll just up my step! The only thing I don't like about it is it's very long. So I just do the cardio one day and the weights/abs the next. - posted by Heidi on 7/29/2008 |

| Perfect! |
| This video has the perfect combination of muscle building and aerobics. I enjoy being able to pick what I want to work out and a get a good workout on those sections in a minimum amount of time. If you can only have one exercise video in your collection, GET THIS ONE! - posted by Melanie on 5/30/2008 |

| Awesome aerobic workout |
| This workout is one of Karen Voight's best. - posted by Ellen on 1/21/2008 |

| Good |
| Excellent steady pace that burns fat at a lower intensity. A staple in my library when I want an easier tape that is low impaction. Maybe old but I enjoy the change. I'd say intermediate/low advanced. - posted by on 8/7/2007 |

| not for advanced |
| I was expecting a long challenging step routine and what I got was a long easy one. I like Karen, but I felt the sprints were very easy. I consider myself to be high intermediate. I do a lot of cardio and run about an 8 1/2 min. mile so this cardio barely got mt heart rate up. The toning was very easy. The ab section was fair. - posted by Jill on 12/10/2006 |

| A classic |
| What an excellent workout. It was made in 1993 and is every bit as relevant and effective today as it was back then. As always, Karen works you hard. The intervals were interesting and effective. I liked that the class contained "normal", everyday people and not just "supermodels". Some other reviewers have complained about the music but I liked the "80's style" music quite a bit.I do recommend that you get the DVD so you can easily bypass the toning -- for some reason the toning takes place before the cardio, a format I don't care for. Nevertheless, this is a great workout. - posted by Marianne on 11/14/2006 |
