What a great little video! I picked this one up when I was looking for a total-body workout in under 40 minutes, and was pleasantly surprised. Kathy has a very soothing, almost soporific voice and her cueing is very good. It's just her in this tape: no distractions from the celebrity add-ons she seems fond of in her other tapes. And this tape works! I had a pleasant warm feeling for at least half an hour afterwards. Here are some things I especially like:

• the exercises are all done in at least 2 (usually 3) sets, allowing the muscles to fatigue
• she goes slow enough that you can use moderately heavy weights
• she alternates between upper and lower body exercises which reduces fatigue and allows you to work for longer and with more concentration.

She also has several unusual exercises in here such as a rear leg lift that turns into a hamstring curl. Normally I find leg lifts very boring, but with her counting along with you it is not that bad. Overall I recommend this tape to anyone who wants a quick but effective total-body toning workout.
