Karen Voight's Burn & Firm |
  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 |

| I seem to be the only one who didn't like it |
| What I did like: it gives you the time for each section right on the dvd; What I didn't like: the yellow background, the music (horrible), the pasted on smile of the background exerciser (she certainly worked her facial muscles having to hold that smile for that long), was not impressed with Karen's instruction, it seemed like she just jumped right into everything without much explanation and I didn't think it was exactly basic choreography either; oh well, maybe it was just me on that particular day, I will try it one more at some point before writing it off altogether. - posted by SDHR on 3/2/2009 |

| Great Work out!!! |
| I love this work out! I like how the menu is separate that you can choose what you'd like to work out or if u only want to do cardio. I also like her cueing she doesn't have an annoying voice like some of the other instructors that I've tried. I also like how the whole workout isn't too long is just 45 minutes so its awesome when u dont have to much time to work out or if you'd like to do just the cardio is only 23 minutes including warm up and cool down is great for those days that u don't have much time and the toning is great also. - posted by Julieth on 2/26/2009 |

| Great for a lighter day |
| I really like the combination of intervals in this workout, and I am glad that there was a separate abs sections. This is definitely intermediate and I thought the choreography was very easy to follow. The whole workout is about 45 minutes which is great if you don't have too much time and need a complete workout. It's not too intense and transitions smoothly. I was really expecting a little more of a sweat, but overall, very good! - posted by Kate on 1/16/2009 |
