Time graph for Kelly Coffey-Meyer's Cardio-Sculpt Fitness
Kelly Coffey-Meyer’s uniquely sequenced four-part cycles will challenge even the most advanced exerciser. Each of the five circuits starts with sustained step aerobics followed by targeted body sculpting. But you’re only half-done. The segment continues with a 60-second cardio burst plus another set of the same muscle toning. It’s a format designed to maximize both intensity and results (e.g. your muscles get just enough “rest” during the burst to perform the second set). The aerobic segments range from simple jogs and shuffles to jump-squats and “punch jumps.” The toning features classic routines in a variety of tempos, angles and positions. DVD has 38 to 48-minute premixes (e.g. just the cardio sections). Club-style music. Requires 5 to 10 lb. dumbbells. ©2007. DVD has: 4 premixes (38 to 46-min. alternate workouts), Chapter menus.

Kelly Coffey-Meyer's Cardio-Sculpt Fitness

Not the best!
I think Kelly needs to review her form when lifting weights---her technique is lacking in proper body mechanics. The girls in the back have much better technique so if you purchase this video watch them. I do like the way she mixed the combo up with weights and cardio, although at first the choreography was hard to follow. I consider myself an advanced lifter so I do think this video should be a intermediate level not advanced. - posted by Janet on 11/2/2008
Good workout
It was a very good workout, but not that intense. I think the sculpting sections were very good, and so was the cardio, but I think the cardio could have been more intense and longer. To me this workout felt like a beginner/intermediate level. It was very good though. - posted by Ivy on 10/29/2008
Great Workout
I really liked this video. I have one other Kelly step and was lost on the second segment, but this one is pretty basic and I was able to follow it the first time out. I agree her pace is faster than most of the step videos I do, but you don't mind it in this video, its a challenging change. As far as toning, I think she is my favorite instructor. She always challenges you to push harder be stronger. Since doing her toning and weight training I am seeing definition in my arms and legs. Great Work! - posted by Patty on 9/19/2008
Great cardio sculpting video
Cardio Sculpt Fitness is a fun circuit workout alternating cardio segments with weight training segments. It begins with a cardio segment followed by a weight training segment and then a cardio intensity blast featuring part of the previous cardio segmeent followed by another weight training segment repeating the same weight training moves. The workout passes by quickly and is over before I know it. Lauren offers modifications for impact and I often follow her. There are several premixes offered, too, for more focused workout (cardio or weights), etc. The workout ends with floor abdominals. Looking forward to more Kelly workouts! - posted by Gib on 5/2/2008
Grows on you!
I have to admit that when I first did this workout I hated it. In fact, I was going to return it. I wanted to be fair since I did a premix the first time so I tried it again. Surprisingly, I loved the full workout when I did it the second time. I agree that sometimes her cueing is not the best and her personality is a little flat but overall the full workout was great. Time went by really fast because the workout is always changing and I did find the choreography challenging in some spots but it's motivated me to keep doing it until I get it right. I was also impressed with how much I was sweating during this. I'll definately be checking into some of her other workouts. - posted by Sherri on 4/18/2008
Pretty Good!
I liked this workout overall. I do agree some of the weight segments are a bit uncomfortable BUT I like how they are different from my other weight workouts. The cardio portions were easy to follow and I love the interval style of this workout. Sometimes I will do 30 min of straight cardio before doing this workout as a warm up, to get really warm. I find the cardio portions not that tough, but with the interval of weights I do keep my heart rate up. - posted by Mandee on 4/2/2008
Liked it
I have one other Kelly video and enjoy it. This one will fit well into my rotation. - posted by Paula on 3/27/2008
Better than most
I found I like this workout. It is better than some of her others. The cardio is doable. As opposed to learning her new Step dvd - about impossible. I have all of her dvds except the kickboxing dvd. However, she isn't too personable. Never speaks to her other instructors of anything. Not that I want her to be chatty, but she is just very straight forward. Her cueing is not good. I found that in one part, after 3 times, she finally tells you it is 7 lifts after stumbling through the first 2 times. Why wouldnt' she say that right at first So her cueing as usual, is not the best. She just has no personality which makes me pretty bored. Getting past that, the workout itself, I liked. - posted by Marsha on 2/21/2008
Didn't like at all
I have been a step instructor for years and thought this looked like a great video. I found her cues to be poor and somewhat tricky. I also thought her form was terrible during some of the heavy weight sections (check out her wrist position during the upright rows!) It is a pretty good workout just not very enjoyable way to spend 70 minutes. - posted by Traci on 2/5/2008
Choreography a bit hard to follow but with time and practice...
I'm sure I will be able to "get it". I usually stick with basic choreography and took a chance on this one. I got lost a lot and had to rewind a lot but I think if I stick with it and don't give up I will get it. The work out was intense. Just enough cardio to balance out the weights. I liked the variation for the back with the weights out backwards. It does feel awkward at first but if you relax into the exercise it ends up feeling fine. I will look forward to doing this one again when I want a choregraphy challenge. - posted by Nancy on 1/16/2008

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
sample time graph
Premixes
X
These are alternate workouts created by the manufacturer. They use the same content as the main program (i.e. the very same video footage). But the sections are re-edited into pre-made alternative workouts that you select from a menu. These are often condensed versions of the main workout.
Chapter menus
X
You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Step aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The step aerobics segments involve stepping up and down on a platform. The moves range from simple stepping to more choreographed exercises. These segments require a step bench platform. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
