Kathy Smith's Fat Burning Breakthrough |
  I really liked this |
| I had this work out since its release and have since "upgraded" to dvd! I feel that its an effective fat burner as well as toner. You can put in exactly what you want back...I always go for it and never finish dissapointed! Its definitely one of my most used workout's and I have a TON! A plus is that its pretty quick and you can do one or two segments so time isn't an issue with this one! - posted by Nina on 6/20/2007 |

| Too Many Step Moves |
| First - I am not a big Kathy Smith fan. I am not an advanced Step person, and so this dvd was not a good match for me. I am not dense, I just couldn't keep up when she says "let's start from the beginning" and then doesn't really start at the beginning or says "lets do that routine again" but only does half of it. Apparently I am just a boring person who would like to do Step aerobics with just a few moves that I know that I can do and keep up with. I prefer Chris Freytag, someone that who is not so hyper and I can actually keep up with. - posted by M.T. on 4/16/2007 |

| Makes you sweat! |
| I really enjoy working out with this video. Kathy's cues are clear and her energy is motivating. The time commitment is doable with a busy schedule and three kids! I feel like I'm sweating and burning fat hours after my work out. Thanks Kathy! - posted by Leslie C. on 4/6/2007 |

| surprisingly good workout |
| I thought this was a fun fast paced solid intermediate workout. The step portion is doable for beginner to advanced. The weight portion was very basic. I try to do aerotone per week and the days I concentrate on weights I do Jari or Cathe so I didn't mind the light routine. The ab portion was thorough and the stretching was adequate. The scenery was beautiful. I didn't care that Kathy mis cued I was still able to follow the routines. She is a little goofy but I think she provides a solid workout - posted by jf on 1/27/2007 |

| Fun, challenging, but doable workout |
| This is an excellent workout to push yourself to the next level of fitness. It's very adaptable for me from when I've gotten out of shape to when I'm at my best fitness level (intermediate-beginner to advanced-intermediate is the range I work in and this video is always appropriate). I think this would work as an advanced workout too if you do all the pop-ups and leaps Kathy suggests. - posted by Kay on 1/21/2007 |

| Solid intermediate workout |
| One of my favorite things about this workout is the outdoor setting - it's nice to look at on cold winter days in New Hampshire! :) That said, this is a good workout, perfect for beginners looking to transition into the intermediate level. Advanced exerciser won't be challenged, but it's a good workout to do on light days. My only complaint is that Kathy's voice is a little too high pitched and loud in this video, so I just turn down the volume a bit. ;-) - posted by Barbara W on 1/14/2007 |

| Great Workout For Step or Floor Aerobics |
| This workout can be done successfully on the step or floor aerobically. What a concept to be able to choose to do this on the step or not. This is a very complete total body workout. The cardio will get your heartrate up and break your plateaus. The weight section will give you a quick tone and the abs section is very thorough. The cooldown very relaxing. Kathy does not holler in this workout as she does in LWTLW 1. The outdoor scenery couldn't be more perfect. What a wonderful way to work out. The crew includes Madeleine Lewis who has choregraphed 21 of Kathy's workouts. It also includes Robin from Madeleine's "Get Moving" workout. All are having a wonderful time. You will definitely feel worked out after this workout. And since this workout is so well chaptered (warm up, cardio only, weights only, abs or cooldown) being so versatile to where you can do the cardio on the step or not it is a keeper. A Must Have!!! - posted by NA/AWA on 8/22/2006 |

| Kathy Smith always awesome! |
| I have just about every KS video and DVD she ever made. KS videos have kept me fit for almost 20 years I don't know what I would have done without her. This tape is definitely what I would call advanced in intensity (the cardio portion)but not in choreography. The toning sections are about intermediate level. I absolutely love, love the abdominal and cool down sections, they are fantastic for days I am pressed for time. If you want an aerobic challenge the 3rd levels of these aerobic sections are killers. - posted by Kathy on 7/4/2006 |

| Too Much Lunging, Boring |
| I bought this video a long time ago, and I've done it maybe three times. I like a lot of Kathy's workouts, but this one is repetitive and there are very long lunging series at the end of each aerobics section. I think there are more fun, creative ways to get your heart rate up and I am not motivated by the thought of having to do a million lunges, so I never do this one. I like the Kickboxing workout as a fun way to burn calories! - posted by on 2/3/2006 |
