Sleek Physique DVD contains all footage from the following two VHS workouts:

• Burn and Firm
• Yoga Focus

On Sleek Physique, you are presented with a week's worth of options in 30 min. segments.

I got this DVD at Tarjay for $9.99. I'd have been bummed if I'd paid the $25 from her site.

I have some likes and dislikes about this workout. My favorite part is the yoga relaxation. It is now my favorite stretch. At 20 minutes it isn't too long and it feels really good. It is all done on the floor (no dreaded sun salutations - eeewwww). The music is serene and Karen cues well. I have been doing it almost every day.

I do not like the yoga strength section. It's a wrist-killer that I could not finish. I hate sun salutations - eeewwww. I feel it is too advanced and probably won't try it again.

The three 5 minute cardio sections are nice. They can be made low impact and for once I am able to follow Karen's (not usually great) aerobic cueing.

The upper body sections went too fast for me. I had to go really light to not be worried about hurting myself. So, I was not sore at all the next day.

The lower body work didn't seem very hard. I did it once and have forgotten what the moves are already. Kind of pointless IMHO.

I was able to actually do and finish the ab section. Which must mean it is incredibly easy! I don't usually finish ab stuff unless it is on the resistance ball.

It is a very neat idea to have a
planned workout for each day.
But, I wish there was a
chaptering section where you
could go right to the workout you
want insted of going to a day
and fast forwarding. At least that
is what I have to do with my DVD
player.

Instructor Comments:
Karen is her usual calm
professional self in the DVD.
Her cueing for the aerobic
sections is much better than in
her other workouts.
