Your Best Body: Target and Tone

Kathy Kaehler
Year Released: 1995

Categories: Total Body Workouts


This is a good little strength/toning tape for beginners and low intermediates. Or for those days when you aren't up to Cathe or the Firm. It's nice that you only need a chair, dumbells and maybe ankle weights. I don't always feel like breaking out all the equipment.
The tape is about 38 minutes long. It is just Kathy on a brightly lit stage with a cityscape background. The music is generic, yet cheerful. There is no floor work and no ab work.
Kathy alternates lower and upper body sections as follows:

Butt Tuner - lunges(8) and side squat lifts(8) - 3 sets
Shoulder Shaper - military presses(16) and shrugs(10) - 3 sets
Lunge Kicks(8)- and karate kicks(8) - 3 sets
Tricep Toner - French presses(10) and chair dips(10) - 3 sets
Leg Lifts - standing side(10), back(10),hamstring curls - 3 sets
Push Ups - wall(10) and wall sits (30 seconds) -2 sets
Some shoulder thing against the wall I don't get - 2 sets
Stretch - 6 minutes
This is a companion tape to Keli Roberts "Your Best Body: Abs & More", but seems to have been lost in the shuffle. You have to look under Kathy's name in the instructor index to find other reviews of Target & Tone

Instructor Comments:
Kathy has a calm attitude and a soothing voice. She gives good form pointers. I like that she is very fit and athletic, yet actually has hips and a little tumm
