Kelly Coffey-Meyer's Cardio-Sculpt Fitness |
  Intermediate not Advanced |
| I would rate this as an intermediate workout not an advanced. The muscle toning is OK. I was barely able to get my heart rate high enough to consider this a cardio workout at all. - posted by Patti on 6/30/2010 |

| GOOD BUT NOT GREAT |
| I usually love Kelly Coffee workouts. This one is good until the last aerobic routine. I'm not big on kick boxing moves. Also I totally agree with one of the other reviews about the very annoying music during the ab section. I will continue to do the workout but will stop just before the last routine and pop in another DVD to finish up. - posted by Ann on 5/9/2010 |

| My New Favorite |
| I liked this workout as soon as I tried it, but now, after doing it four times or so, it's one of my absolute favorites. I'm in my late 40s, with many years of step and toning experience. I like doing Cathe for smooth choreography and tough workouts, and I like Kari Anderson for her flawless, fun choreography on my cardio-only days, but this one is just a good, fun, total-body workout that can be quite hard if you give it your all. More athletic, NOT dancy at all, and short segments with just a few moves so you can learn them quickly and work them to the max. Kelly's cueing is never great, but the routines are so short and you can follow along without difficulty, especially after you've gone through it one or two times. Fun, solid workout! - posted by Jody on 4/7/2010 |

| Good Cardio, not for weights |
| This is a great cardio workout. I thought the cuing was fine, and I have two left feet. It did take me a couple tries on some combos, but I got them. the weights segments are lacking. use Cathe or Jari for toning. I will be keeping this workout most definitely as I thought it was fun. I will do it in between my heavy toning days. This video was kind of like GR 1000, but less weight emphasis and the cardio was not quite as intense. - posted by Alicia on 3/30/2010 |

| Good workout, didn´t care so much for the weight segments...... |
| I just finished this workout. The cardio step segments and the 1 minute ´blasts´ were very challenging´ ( I had my step higher than I would for any Cathe step workout) but my heart rate monitor showed me that I was working (as well as the sweat dripping!) That said, there were times when my heart rate was so high, and then suddenly we were onto a weight segment. I know it is everyone´s responsibility to monitor this (i.e, you could pause the workout and let your heart rate come down 1st) but I feel she could have mentioned it. I know this because Cathe mentions it in her circuit workouts. I didn´t care so much for the weight segments, maybe Im just a person who prefers to do cario and weights seperately. The ab section is fab! The music in general is terrible, thank god she improved that, the music in her 30 minute to fitness DVDs is fab! Overall,a good workout! - posted by Mandy, Barcelona on 3/14/2010 |

| Another Great Workout from Kelly! |
| I did this one yesterday for the first time. The time flew by, as you alternate cardio and strength moves. The choreography was challenging for me at times but never to the point that I was frustrated. I like this one almost as much as The Shape of Things to come. If you are looking for challenging workouts that combine cardio and toning, Kelly is your gal! I will warn you they are much more challenging than most Firm workouts I have encountered. - posted by Diane on 2/7/2010 |

| One of the Best Circuit workouts |
| I hadn't done this one in a while and was again in awe how good it is. I'm putting it in my "Best Circuit Workout" pile to try to sort through my 300+ workout DVDs. I get an excellent workout for the entire body with cardio that is actually fun, athletic & challenging. It makes excellent use of your time. Intensity is just right. Music is good and the ab work is VERY effective and thorough (I add ankle + wrist weights) and I'm also used to Cathe, Jari, Mindy, etc. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the negative reviews here cannot possibly apply to this workout. (I suppose, my heart rate wouldn't go up either if I fast-forwarded through the cardio). I highly recommend this one as well as Kelly's other cardio sculpt workout. - posted by holly on 12/2/2009 |

| One of My Favourite Circuit Workouts EVER |
| I adore this workout. Kelly puts together cardio step intervals with athletic choreography that have to be the most fun I have ever had with simple step patterns. Some of the cardio "blasts" are easier than others, but if you are doing the workout as recommended on an 8" step, and going as heavy as you can with the weights, these are a relief rather than a letdown! The weights segments attack every major muscle group, with some innovative exercises, especially for shoulders & triceps. I also love the lower body burn on this DVD. The ab work is totally comprehensive, and super effective. I actually kinda like the Whiskey Train music, although others have complained about it. I get so sick of the run of the mill music in most workout DVD's that this was a nice change that made the ab workout even more unique. This workout as a whole is REALLY fun, with no dread factor, and a good "worked out" feeling after I am done. I am on the advanced side of the spectrum, and found the cardio to definitely get my HR up enough for it to be challenging. No, it's not as intense as Cathe's Bootcamp or some Amy's, but that is also why I never dread it :) Although my fave circuit workouts ever include a Cathe BM2 premix, Low Impact Circuit and High Step Challenge, this is right up there with 'em. Five stars. - posted by Sam on 11/2/2009 |

| SO-SO |
| You'll get a good workout with this video but, well, I thought she had too many tricep moves and wished for more variety in them, like over the head moves instead of three different moves with arms back. Not great cueing although I'm sure if the video is done enough times you wouldn't need it as much. And one star taken off solely for the Worst Fitness Video Song Ever during the abs section. - posted by Susan W. on 10/27/2009 |
