I bought this video. I previewed this video. I put it on the exchange. I never even worked out to this video, because I was so turned off by the intro that claimed this was a new way to burn fat in less time. I've been around the block a few times, and I know nothing works like a FUN workout! That's the one you'll keep and do over and over and over! Maybe Kathy Smith needs to take a lesson from Donna Richardson or Jane Fonda. These two I do strictly for fun; but, you know, I think I get a pretty darn good calorie/fat-burning workout from them.

Instructor Comments:
My first introduction to Kathy Smith was "March to Fitness." I soon was bored with the tape, and bought "Secrets to a Great Body" -- both upper and lower body videos. I thought she was a perfect instructor for these videos. This was serious body-shaping time, and Kathy was there to help me through it. But now, with Peak Fat Burning, I just feel as if she's that dreaded second-grade teacher who's making me learn the multiplication tables. Lighten up, Kathy! I'd really rather just work up a sweat with Gilad or Charlene Prickett. Neither of them is particularly bubbly, but at least I have a good time with them. Kathy's making my workout seem like work.
