I admire Karen in many ways. As a long-time dance student, I like the way she understands what full range of motion is about, and her accuracy and carefulness in moves.

I like this tape for its tough and thorough workout and its music which may be the best I've ever heard on an exercise video. The set and style were sort of lacking for my taste: it was sort of bland, and the exercisers and outfits were not very attractive to me.

But I say that in comparison to the very sophisticated Strong and Smooth Moves, which I had for two years before I got the ES tape. I happen to love SSM as a nice lengthening, stretching antidote to the tighter moves of a step or Firm tape. I feel light, relaxed, and graceful after doing a Voight tape—both ES and SSM.

SSM actually helped me prepare for this tape and understand how to modify some of it (I have a slight knee injury).

I couldn't help thinking that Karen had some "style" coaching after ES. Her make-up is better, and so is her vocal delivery and outfit. :) I admit that if I'm going to kill myself working out alone in my living room, a little admiration/inspiration helps.
