Kathy's TimeSaver Cardio Fatburner |
 LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| I love Kathy smith... I been working out off and on with her for years..and this is the dvd I always go back too. I love the 2nd 20 mins. it can be fast but once you get it, you will love it. I started doing this dvd again this week, I mix it up with Jillian Micheal's Max back Action that is 30mins..It works out better for me then doing the treadmill, I burn more. And the 7mins Stretch is the best I've ever done. I also do the stretch after other work out. I have pulled muscles in the past, but when I do the stretch, I have never pulled anything.. Give this DVD a try, it will be wroth it. - posted by Lily.O on 9/28/2009 |

 Great for my active rest day |
| I am an advanced exerciser. I mostly do step and some floor cardio and weight train as well. Sundays are my active rest day and this workout is perfect for that. It is a solid int. workout, moves are easy, and Kathy has a great personality. So on my Sunday when I do my rest day, but do active rest instead of doing nothing, this is perfect! - posted by Jill Sherry on 6/28/2009 |

| opinion of a beginner |
| I've just started working out again (after 20 years!) and here's my opinion after trying this for first time . . . I'm surprised almost no one else has said this: the first segment is frantic the beat is so fast, Kathy doesn't keep the beat, and the cuing is poor. Very frustrating! I ended up walking/jogging in place for most of it.
But don't give up! I didn't think the second segment would be any better - but it's great! Easy to follow, fun, and you can choose high or low impact moves.
And then a very nice stretch.
So if you're a beginner, try the 2nd segment first and maybe (like me) check out the first segment after you're more "experienced." - posted by Abby on 1/13/2009 |

| Enjoyable Cardio for intermediates |
| Kathy Smith has been around for years, but she looks amazing. She is a great instructor who creates challenging and effective routines.This fun and intense workout DVD has 3 sections: two 20 minute workouts plus a wonderful stretch program that will diminish your stress. It runs 60 minutes so you can do one, two or three depending on time. She has helped me change my workout habits with her great calorie burning workouts! - posted by E.G. on 1/12/2009 |

| Okay,but... |
| I've had this workout since it came out on VHS. It's okay if you are a beginner or intermediate. I thought it was too basic and I had to really exaggerate my moves and do most of the low-impact moves high-impact to get my heart rate up. Kathy is also more annoying than usual in this video - tries to be too "whoop, whoop" and cheery. If you're looking for a basic workout, this is a good-start, but if you're inter/advanced I'd pass on this video. - posted by KO on 11/15/2008 |

| Solid Intermediate Energizer |
| I don't understand the negative comments here. I really had fun and the choreography is great! The music is pretty good too. I am choreography challenged but was able to pick up the moves easily. Yes, there is whooping which could be a negative for some folks but it doesn't bother. As an intermediate exerciser, this workout fits the bill! - posted by Mary Rose on 10/9/2008 |

| Fun and Effective! |
| I love this workout and totally disagree with Ann C. This is a fun and effective workout that I would recommend to beginners and intermediates. The music is typical generic workout music but I don't find it annoying at all. The movements and the music are in sync; I had an enjoyable time with her moves which are simple yet fun. The class is lively and energetic. There is whooping but I don't mind it. My fave segment is the 2nd segment because of the intensity bursts. I have over 400 workout DVDs and I'm glad this workout is in my collection. It's worth buying for sure! - posted by Janelle J. on 10/4/2008 |

| DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME |
| This is the worst exercise tape in my entire collection!! I have over 50 exercising tapes/dvds/videos and believe me this is the worse one I have ever purchased. From the instructor's off beat instructions to the loud annoying off beat music, she's extremely winded as she does the routines and her cues (or the lack of them) are terrible. One word to describe this tape - HORRIBLE. I've tried her tapes (2)in the past and they never won me over but in this case (due to the staff favorite recommendation) I thought I'd give her another shot. How I wish I could return this tape back and get a refund but it seems as if I'm stuck with it. If only I could find something really positive to say about this tape, I would, but I truly can't. - posted by Ann C. on 7/17/2008 |

| LOVE IT! |
| I been doing Kathy for years, and this was one of the 1st cardio workouts I got. I still do it. I have bad knees, but always seem to be able to go back to this dvd. I love that you can do both or just one work out and still feel that you got a good work out. This is a must buy. Her 7 min cool down stretch, is very good. I even use it after doing other work outs. If your starting out this maybe a little hard, but in no time you will work up to the 2nd 20 mins work out. give it a try!..Lily.O - posted by LILY.O on 5/10/2008 |
