Kathy's Lift Weights to Lose Weight 2 |
  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 |

| Good Exercises but Bad Cuing |
| I really like Kathy Smith as an instructor but this video is difficult for me to follow at times. Her cuing is just awful. I prefer when an instructor tells you what's coming up four or five reps away and she doesn't do this until right before switching. Very frustrating. - posted by Chris on 6/30/2007 |

| Cant focus music is so loud |
| This is no where as good as some of her other videos. Too much glitz and too busy. The music is so loud I could not stand it. - posted by George on 5/21/2007 |

| Very good |
| Excellent workout that really has you think about core stability. The ball workout is an added bonus and really made me sore the next day! - posted by Laurie on 7/7/2006 |
