Ultimate Fat-Burning System

Kacy Duke
Year Released: 1995

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


I bought this tape at Borders for $10 and wasn't sure what to expect since there are no reviews on it. It is an interval training tape running approximately 45 minutes. I use it when I am pressed for time and want a quick workout.

Of course, the big selling point of this video is the model Lucky Vanous (of Diet Coke fame). It is refreshing to see handsome men in a fitness video, but outside of his short introduction about his life and career, this is really a very good tape. It is not super challenging-- the aerobic sections (3 in all) are mostly marches (with heavy hands, it can be a good workout). I especially like the fact that it is easy to follow (no complicated steps at all). The strength training (3 in all) requires weights in which your legs are still moving (I use 5 lb weights). It can be challenging if you really work at it. The abs section is brief but shows some unusual moves (and Lucky takes off his shirt).

This tape is a keeper for me because it gives me a very good workout in a short amount of time. It was a pleasant surprise.

Instructor Comments:
Kacy Duke is reasonably motivating and a good instructor.
