DVD Publisher: Entertaining Fitness Format: Color, DVD-Video, NTSC Actors: Karen Voight Studio: First Look Home Entertain Release Date: 10/07/2003 Run time: 60 minutes Rating: Nr Begin and end the day with these two condensed workouts, one designed to energize and the other to de-stress and stretch. Instructor Karen Voight has an amazingly sculpted body--just try to pry your eyes from her abs, shoulders, or thighs. The 25-minute A.M. Workout starts with a rhythmic warm-up that readies your muscles and raises your heart rate, followed by a full-body, muscle-conditioning series using light weights or weighted balls. It's impressive how many muscle groups are worked in Voight's superbly designed, nonstop sequence of moves and combinations--some coordination required. The P.M. Workout starts with a strong ab routine and some push-ups, followed by a long, slow-paced yoga routine to stretch your muscles and calm your mind. This is an excellent set of workouts, marred only slightly by the overdone draped background, which is distracting. Highly recommended for busy exercisers who want to pack a lot into a half-hour. --Joan Price

The A.M. routine is pretty killer--it's fast-paced and gets your blood pumping immediately, which can be a little tough if you've just woken up. The workout centers around using either weight balls or hand weights(your choice). And lifting weights is what it's all about. I only did this portion of the video for a couple of weeks and noticed a significant difference in the sculpture of my arms.
The P.M. routine pounds your abs with modified pilates moves for about 15 minutes before switching to yoga. I didn't like the PM routine as much, but that might be because I'm not a fan of yoga. The ab workout portion felt good, although exhausting.
The video production values are cheesy--the music is kind of lame and the inter-cutting of grainy black and white footage with color footage seems amateur. The P.M. backdrop is downright hilarious with the moon painted on a scrim. But the exercises are strong, and Karen Voight remains a good DVD teacher. The 25 min. A.M. workout in particular is great and worth every penny.

Great DVD. I lost 60 lbs in one year using this DVD 3x week, walking 2x week, reducing the amount of food I ate, adding Isotonix supplements and a LOT OF PRAYER. (God was the key motivator). I have another 40 lbs to go so, I am increasing the number of Streamline Fitness workouts to 5x week for optimal health and success. Positive beautiful gracious Karen Voight makes working out a happy anticipation rather than a dreaded duty. This routine is also excellent for those who travel and want to maintain their fitness level.

This is a great exercise dvd for home. The A.M. exercise is done with 3-lb weights for total body workout. The P.M. exercise emphasizes on ab, using 3-lb balls. You can do both programs straight through. Anytime I have a huge meal the night before, I always take out this dvd the following day. Karen Voight's fitness programs are all very do-able. If at first you can't catch up, just keep doing it. You will like the result you see in the mirror. I highly recommend this dvd.

Karen Voight has the perfect set up here...nothing that takes too much time, but it is certainly effective. Already I have lost weight, and I can see muscles developing that I've never had before. She really knows what she's doing.
