I had been working out with weights often before starting school, so I needed something quick and easy to maintain fitness at a basic level. This video fit perfectly, it is quick (20 minutes each) and very straight forward and effective. Kathy Smith covers all of the basics in lower and upper body sections. I really like the glute exercise with feet on the chair, it targeted the muscle well. I especially liked the final ab workout, which was more challenging then some of the ab work she has done in the past.

Instructor Comments:
I've been a fan of Kathy Smith's for a long time, but I agree with the other comments concerning her loudness. It reminds me of that hyper-enthusiastic attitude aerobic instructors made popular in the 80s, it's annoying. The thing I've always liked about her is that she is low key, gives useful basic information, and shares helpful hints.
