After reading horrible reviews of this workout, I tried to cancel my pre-order. Well, that didn't work, so I decided that since it only cost about $10 it wasn't worth sending back for a refund. I tried it last night expecting to be bored out of my mind, but it wasn't really THAT bad. Yes, her cuing is a bit late in some spots...and yes, there are a few spot where she is off beat with the music. Also, I thought it was odd that the music had pauses between songs. Usually in cardio fitness classes/ workout videos, the music is a continuous mix where one song blends into the next. (There were no vocals in the music...just techno-y beats) But, the moves are basic and easy to follow so I did not have a problem. I disagree with collage that this is inter/adv. I'd say it's more low to mid intermediate. I used my tae bo balls throughout the cardio, and added some high-impact and jumping jacks in some places to keep my HR up. Did I love this wokout? No...there is definitely room for improvement. Did I get a good workout from it? I'd say it was a "moderate" level workout...not as hard as Gin's Simply Step...but then the cardio component in Kathy's is only 30 min. The production quality was not the greatest, but I have to admit that for $10 I wasn't expecting a whole lot. I like a lot of variety when I work out, so this will be good for those days when I need a break from Cathe-type intensity and am limited on time. I will use it again, but not regularly.

Sorry, I didn't do the strenght training segment so I can't comment on that!

Instructor Comments:
I really liked her a lot. She has a very down to earth personality . Not a lot of "hooting & hollering", but not boring either. She comes across as friendly and personable.
