Karen Voight's Burn & Firm |
 Tough and Great Muscle Burn |
| The other reviews that say it gets too easy are crazy. While this is no Shaun T insanity it is a serious muscle burn and has one of the best sets of triceps I've ever seen on video. While the cardio could be easy, all you do is add hops, the third high level. Suffice it to say each cardio section has 3 levels but you learn the advanced level towards the end...just remember it and do that the whole cardio section next time around. If you don't get a workout from this it's because you aren't trying. - posted by Camden Smith on 2/27/2010 |

| Great Workout |
| Karen is an excellent instructor and the movements are fun, simple and effective. I have done it so much I know what comes next but I still like doing it. I also like the ability to choose which workout I want to do for the day if I'm pressed for time. - posted by dee on 1/20/2010 |

 Not so basic choreography |
| I'm not the most coordinated person but I'm also not the least. I know that there is a learning curve but this workout made me throw my hands up and scream after 15 mins. I couldn't keep up with her transitions during the cardio and often had to stop and go back to try to fumble through her moves. I may use it for the strength training but I'm a no go with the cardio. - posted by Trish on 1/1/2010 |

| Okay For Light Days |
| I have owned this video for a couple of years. It was really challenging for me in the beginning, but as my fitness level has improved I only use it on light days now. If you are beginner to intermediate, this will be perfect for you. I do have to say that this workout is very unique with some different type moves that made it more interesting. - posted by Suzanne on 10/22/2009 |

| Effective and Fun |
| I used this workout a few years ago, after the birth of my first child, and got back into shape quickly. It's one of my favorites. - posted by Alyssa on 10/10/2009 |

| Loved it |
| I really liked this DVD, the cardio I improvise a little since I'm very uncoordinated, but as long as my heartrate stays up, that's the key. I like the toning exercises too, I was a "gym rat" for years and am strong, but she taxed my arms and stomach and I felt the muscles working. The circuit was fun and I liked that you could make it longer or shorter. - posted by Deb on 9/6/2009 |

| Very good but don't care for the 1st strength interval |
| I really like this workout: Karen's cuing is good, the cardio is fairly intense but easy on the joints, and the strength segments have enough reps to really see benefits. However, I only wish the first strength segment, which is done on the floor and about 5 minutes long, was at the end or else substituted for standing work, because I felt my heartrate really dropped and stayed down for that full interval. I usually skip that chapter and do it at the end of the workout. - posted by Letitia on 6/20/2009 |

| Truly a great workout |
| I love this workout. My heart rate stays elevated throughout, even during the toning segments. Everything (even the toning)is incredibly fluid and beautifully choreographed which, with my background in dance, I loved. With this workout, I really sweat, plus I get a challenging toning workout. One thing that could be improved: more bicep work or time to switch weights so you could go heavier on the bicep work. I don't consider that a horrible flaw, since I do Burn & Firm in rotation with another workout that has more challenging bicep work & less challenging tricep work. That said, the tricep work in Burn & Firm is fabulous! My tris are more defined than ever after doing this workout less than a dozen times. Near-perfect workout for me. I'd say I'm a low intermediate exerciser. - posted by Dina on 6/15/2009 |

| One of my favorites |
| One of the things I really like about this workout is that Karen gives you enough time between intervals to either pick up weights or lay on floor. This is a video that I use often and can to the low or high impact version. - posted by Suzanne on 5/18/2009 |
