I’ll be brief in this review as others have broken down the content quite nicely. I tend to use this (and many other DVDs I own FWIW), in parts. I RARELY do the entire workout as is. I just wanted to add my opinion as I just LOVE the ab and back work in this one. It’s quick and effective. Karen is her usual mellow self, and the music is good without getting tiresome. I also enjoy the cardio section on days when I want to do some cardio but don’t have time or energy enough for a longer workout or a more intense one. I like to do this cardio with the cardio from Sleek Physique for a bit longer session. I did not find it particularly difficult to follow, but I catch on to choreography easier than some – not really quick, but not slow either. My one complaint about the DVD is similar to what another reviewer mentioned in that there is no option to do the entire workout – although I would rarely do this, I did find it odd. I would also prefer is abs & back were separate chapters so that I could do abs without ff through the back work. I realize this may be Karen’s way of trying to make sure we do the back & ab section together for proper balance, but I confess, sometimes I just want that ab section!

Instructor Comments:
I’ve been a Karen Voight fan since my first exposure to her with Your Personal Best. Her personality, although I understand some find it dry, is one that I know I can enjoy without ever once feeling “She’s getting on my nerves”. The thing I enjoy most about Karen’s workouts so far is their longevity – I think she chooses music, sets, and her commentary very carefully so that her workouts will stand the test of time. I hate hearing the same jokes over and over again! KV has yet to say anything or use music that grates on my nerves after several spins in the DVD player.
