Kathy's Power Walk for Weight Loss |
  Love It!!! |
| This Dvd is a little off beat but that's why it is so good. It was filmed in a unique way and presents some different walking moves. Her cuing is not bad, but it is not great but the routine is simple enough to learn after the first time through. It's fun, different and you will get a good work out. - posted by Kelly on 2/11/2010 |

| Yuck |
| I bought this just to add a little variety to my walking workouts and had enjoyed a previous Kathy workout. While I like the individual moves, (one star), this never got my heart rate up because as another reviewer said, she keeps stopping. People disappear behind the fake overlays that are suppose to look like a barn, ranch entrance, etc. As Kathy yells, she's in the studio, but the group, with the painted on smiles is somewhere else, so they don't react. It's freaky. The jumping around between desert and studio is disconcerting, as is the shadow around Kathy when she's inserted into the group. Arizona's deserts are beautiful and you don't need fake scenery, as Denise Austin has shown. As for the matrix...puleeze! I'll stick with Leslie for my walks. - posted by Phoenix on 2/1/2010 |

| Is there an anti-Kathy movement? |
| I don't understand why anyone would so passionately hate this workout. It really rather good. The switching from one "fake" background to another is so obvious, I thought it quite witty. Its a great bargain, better than a Leslie Sansone tape, and there young people in it! - posted by Robin on 1/13/2010 |

| Even the Cute Guys Can't Save This One |
| I'm a Kathy Smith fan, but this DVD is just terrible. First, it doesn't provide much of a workout because she keeps having you stop and do the "toning exercises". Second, the actual cardio part itself is repetitive and much too light. I got better results by jogging in place! I'm bummed that I wasted the money on this one. It's just awful, and even the two cute guys in the background can't redeem it! - posted by Hilarie on 12/9/2009 |

| It's a B movie gone bad |
| This workout is sooo incredibly cheesy. The fake backgrounds are horrible. I can't do the workout because it's so cheesy. Kathy Smith should be ashamed. - posted by Kathy on 10/17/2009 |

| great dvd! |
| I am recently getting back into exercising after a long hiatus and thought I would start out with an easy workout. Boy was I wrong about this workout. It got my heartrate up even though I modified some moves and the next day I felt a pleasant soreness in my obliques! My first "video" was Kathy Smith back in the early 80's so it feels like visiting an old friend. I don't mind her "hollering", it just shows that you can have fun while working out. - posted by mary on 9/28/2009 |

| I like it!!! |
| I get a good workout out of this dvd. The first time I tried it I got a decent sweat and elevated heart rate out of it. I felt energized after doing it, more than I thought I would. It's different from Kathy's other videos. She does get a little goofy in some parts, but that's what I enjoy about her workouts. This will definitely be one of my top five workouts to do on a regular basis. - posted by Marci on 9/7/2009 |

| Cheesy quality, not up to Kathy's normal standard |
| Of all the Kathy Smith videos I've seen, this was the worst. Unfortunately, the concept was good, especially the standing ab work, but it didn't live up to its potential. It seemed to be cheaply made, with little concern for quality. The backgrounds were awful, going from a soundstage to outdoors to a combination. There were a lot of miscues & Kathy wasn't always doing the same exercises as the other participants. Definitely not up to Kathy's norm. - posted by Meg on 8/29/2009 |

| Gets heartrate up and works your abs |
| And that's all I ask for in a workout video. I am a long time Kathy fan- my first workout video was a Kathy Smith tape. Although I do agree this workout can be cheesy, my heartrate was up, I was sweating- and all at a medium impact pace. I am in my forties, so I don't like to jump as much as I did 10 years ago. The ab work is great- and there's alot of it. This workout also alternates between working your core and aerobic activity. I highly recommend this workout if you like aerobic, ab and basic strength movements. The stretch at the end was really awesome too! Today is the second time I did this, and I loved it even more than the first time! - posted by Joanne on 8/12/2009 |

| I Like It! |
| I must be one of the few who like this DVD.....I love Leslie S., but wanted something different...I found Chris Fretag, Debbie Rocker, Madeline Lewis, Petra Kolleba, and now Kathy Smith. Well......yes the hootin' and hollering...we just laugh at it.....yea too much moving of the background, but it does manage to keep the heart rate at a good pace.
I work-out 5 - 6 days a week doing varying cardio levels.....bootcamp, interval-type, and Leslie. During the long fall/winter/spring....it is a nice change of pace from just Leslie only. - posted by Old_Lady on 8/5/2009 |
