I am a huge Karen Voight fan. This workout is awesome and it never gets old. Just when you need a break from one circuit it changes to another. I would highly recommend this video. It is a good beginner to intermediate video.

I love this cardio circuit training video! Each session is 5 minutes long and it goes soooo fast! Karen Voight really knows how to work the program so that you get long and lean muscles (not bulk). I love it!

I felt I needed a change from Denise Austin and The Firm DVD's, so I bought this item. It was a nice change for a brief while then became boring and not a very intense work-out. I also thought that some of the cardio routines were awkward and didn't seem to "flow" well. Needless to say, it has gone to the bottom of the pile and I seldom use this DVD anymore. On the positive side, Karen isn't obnoxious (like other exercise instructors)with chitchat or forced enthusiasm during the DVD.

So Karen is one of my favorite instructors because I love the fact that she produces efficient, graceful, and fun workouts that can be done in less than an hour. This video is just over 45 minutes, including warm-up/cool-down, and I felt that it was the perfect blend of low-impact cardio and strength.
No, this isn't the hardest workout I've ever done...but during the cardio intervals your heartrate will get in the fat-burning zone, and it will stay there if you push yourself during the strength segments. It is an easily modifiable workout, you can make it harder or easier just by changing your weights (all you need are hand weights and optional mat/stool).
It is an especially good workout (in my opinion) for people with knee or hip problems who can't take a lot of jumping around/high-impact movement. It is a great workout to use on your cross-training days if you are training for a race, or just run a lot. This is my 3rd dvd of Karen's, and I am very happy with it-I think you will be too!

At first, I didn't think the cardio portion of this dvd was that effective until I mastered the steps.. then I was able to really put forth the energy and PUSH myself, adding more flair and bounce to the movements. The moves are graceful and fun, and I love her no-nonsense instruction. This dvd really has it all... the toning is excellent, I use 8 lb weights for the upper body segments, and I can really feel the burn. I also love the lower body section, as it fires up my glutes big time (just make sure and squeeze them full force in order to get the full benefits!) This dvd has been in my rotation for awhile now, and I don't see getting tired of it, as it moves along quickly with different and interesting body movements. Give this one a try!!
