Firm Arms & Abs

Karen Voight
Year Released: 1991

Categories: Abs/Core , Total Body Workouts, Upper Body Strength


This is a solid upper body work out with an emphasis on form and control. Karen is so complete when she instructs the form on these moves that a beginner could do them. There's also a pre-work out drill to teach ab control. This video does move quickly though from exercise to exercise. The individual reps are slow but you move from one to another very quickly so its hard to customize the weights. You might be able to use a heavier weight for one exercise, but will miss alot of the next exercise when you switch to lower weights. Each exercise has only one set and not many reps. I've never counted but I'd guess less than twenty. Some of the moves require good ab control to hold the position. I like the ab work since it feels really effective. She knows how to instruct so you get into positions that facilitate these ab exercises. Back work is included. LOTS of triceps. This is a good intermediate workout. Beginners can use very low weights and benefit from excellent instruction and form and advanced can use it as a form reminder. An execellent work out.

Instructor Comments:
Karen is the most thorough and meticulous instructor on video.
