 | "Perfect for newcomers on anyone coming back to weights after a long hiatus. Smith takes the time to carefully explain each move." |

 | "Works one muscle set, then turns to the opposite set (biceps, then triceps, for example)." Selected as "runner up" for best strength video. |

Certified instructor description: Two workouts: a solid dumbbell program and a short-but-tough stability ball routine. The dumbbell workout features both multiple and isolated muscle-group exercises. You’ll build lean muscle to raise your metabolism as you increase "functional strength" to make everyday activities easier. With three distinct sections - lower body, upper body and abs - you can do the entire program or just target your own "problem areas." Besides the multiple and isolated muscle variety, Kathy adds interest with lots of tempo changes and weight-level options. The inter/advan-level stability ball program is a fast-moving series of sometimes challenging ball exercises (e.g. lifting the center of your body with your feet balancing on the ball and your hands on the ground). Throughout, Kathy’s always-friendly instruction is very clear, with easy-to-understand imagery (e.g. "imagine you’re hugging a tree ..."). Several sets of dumbbells are suggested for maximum effectiveness (e.g. 2, 5 and 10 lbs.). ©2003. DVD has:

Kathy Smith's Lift Weights to Lose Weight 2 |
| Lower body section kicks my butt |
| The lower body portion of this video is superb. I'm sitting here right now wincing because I hadn't done it in a while and oh, boy, am I feeling it! I like the way it's segmented, so I can do just as much as I like. - posted by Shar on 1/6/2011 |

| Good workout, Annoying Instructor |
| Apparently I have this dvd under a newer cover. Talk about confusing the consumer! I do not like Kathy Smith as an instructor. Her playing to the camera is just sickening. I don't understand why she jumps from person to person to show what to do, when the camera could just stay on her and show it. Plus I was almost embarrassed for the poor girl in the abs section as Kathy almost yells at her about not doing the move properly. I do think it is a good workout. I can't do alot of jumping around cardio so focus more on weight training and felt this was a good workout for my body. Just wish it was with a different instructor. - posted by MLT on 12/30/2010 |

| Great workout - have been using this for years |
| Recently started using this again (had stopped for a year or so as had been using it too often and was worried about plateauing). Now I remember why I loved it in the first place! The upper body workout is especially good (working your core at the same time) and gave me really nice toned arms. The leg and abs sections are relatively short but still effective. Kathy is encouraging and gives good tips on form; she is a little high pitched and excited in this one (relative to her earlier ones) but didn't detract from my workout. One I've kept coming back to (for over 5 years!). - posted by Christa on 9/25/2010 |

| awful! |
| Although the lower body workout is fairly effective Kathy is so annoying I don't make it past the first bit. Does she stop to consider that people may want to do the dvd more than once? She over explains everything and just wont shut up. A good dvd imo explains quickly or has a separate training segment for beginners so that you do not have to listen to long intros each time you want to work out. I will be giving this one away for sure. - posted by Maria on 8/30/2009 |

| I can only do this with the sound off |
| Okay, to be fair, I think this is an effective workout. However, Kathy Smith is so grating that I have resorted to doing the workout with the sound off. Since you can generally stare at the screen while doing the exercise, this works okay, but obviously it is not ideal. I don't know Kathy Smith well enough to know if she is worse than usual in this tape, or if I just don't like her style. I also find the ab section very slow. Tread carefully if your tolerance for Kathy is low. - posted by Katy on 1/17/2009 |

| Fun but not my favorite |
| I bought this video a few years ago but I don't use it very often. I don't regret buying it but I think there are better videos available than this one. I have to agree that she is a bit annoying. - posted by Melody on 1/9/2009 |

| Do not waste your money! |
| I had the first Lift Weights 2 Lose Weight and I really liked it. The only problem is that it was on VHS. So I thought I would buy Lift Weights 2 Lose Weight 2, thinking that it would be similar to the first one. Not so. Horrible cueing. Actually, there is no cueing. If you want a really good weight workout and want to feel the burn, buy a Jari Love DVD. - posted by Nikki on 6/8/2008 |

| annoying |
| It was the first and last one I will buy from her. She was just too bouncy and cheesy for me. I didn't get much of a workout either. - posted by Chris on 10/20/2007 |

| Wow |
| Don't know why anyone else didn't give this one a four star or more. I have been working out with this DVD for actually over a year. I keep going back to it. For a mere twenty minutes, I can tone upper or lower body which is great for busy mornings with carpool then work. I always see results within 3 weeks. It was a little tough but I need to be challenged; I just kept the weight low then build up. This one truly helps posture, integrates pilates and yoga as well as weights. Love it. Very effective. - posted by Tommie on 10/4/2007 |

| I just can't tolerate Kathy Smith anymore! |
| It's so sad. My first video ever was the one that my mom gave me when I was pregnant in 1990 - Kathy Smith's Pregnancy Workout. I was so taken with it that I got all the others she had available at the time. Either I have become more sophisticated and picky after doing hundreds of tapes, or she has become more and more irritating. I've tried almost all her recent workouts and, except for the Yoga, just can't get through the entire workout. Her cuing is horrible to non-existent; her exercisers never know what's coming next, so are not tight and conhesive; she shows off; she over-talks; sometimes she is so intensely hyper that she seems to shout. Oh my! It seems like she is desperate because she knows she is kind of over the hill. But it doesn't have to be that way, and that's what's sad. - posted by Karen on 10/2/2007 |
