Definitely Advanced!

"Although I describe myself as an advanced workout kind of person, I had a lot of trouble with this one. And I even got sore the next days, which hasn't happened in a long time! The only bad thing about this dvd is that it concentrates mostly on the arms which wasn't in the description of this workout. I would have liked a bit more of thighs and abs, so that is the reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5.
I never watched an Kathy Ireland workout before, but I will definitely buy another one."

Yes, Kathy acts a little loopy in this one

"...but it is still a good workout. I personally liked the breaks because it gave me a chance to catch my breath too. LOL! This workout is a tough circuit workout alternating cardio that mainly targets the lower body with upper body weight segments. I agree that there are too many reps on the upper body segments but if you're advanced, which the name of the workout suggests you should be, you should know how to modify. There also was not a great variety of exercises in this workout but I like my workouts simple and who says you have to do 20 different exercises to get good results? Also, she does not stretch in between sets but I just did that on my own while they set up for the next set. Yes, she spends a lot of time explaining but if you're advanced, you know to just start the exercise while she's talking. There is not an ab segment in this workout which I would have liked to see but overall, I liked the workout. And about the guy who comes running in at the end hugging Kathy and yelling "you did it", who sticks around to watch the workout after the stretch? I know I don't. It has absolutely nothing to do with the workout. In fact, most of these negative comments have nothing to do with the workout itself. If you're the type of person who can focus on the workout itself and not on the minor annoyances that can be found in just about every workout then you will probably enjoy this workout."

Really Disappointing

"As a fan of kathy's first video -- total fitness workout -- i was really looking forward to this one. I hate to say this but it really stinks -- working out has to be fun, concise, get the job done etc. etc... this isn't fun and it's way too long and just plain boring. I turned it off after the first 15 minutes -- don't bother buying this one, it's terrible!! It's not an exercise routine that you would enjoy doing over and over -- what happened????"

Great for inner thigh and glutes, but not much else.

"Kathy spends too much time explaining proper form, if you are an advanced exerciser you already know proper form.

Too many reps for the weight exercises, and her faster tempo reps are too fast. Instead of flailing my arms about trying to keep up, I go at a slower more controled pace for fewer reps. She does so many reps that even when I go slower, I can do plenty in the same amount of time.

All the weight work is upper body, all the cardio is lower body. Not really my style. There are better videos out there. I felt like it really worked my inner thighs/glutes but not much else."
