VHS Movie Reviews of Kathy Smith's Fat Burning Breakthrough
Movie Review: Been using this video for over three years and plan to continue.
Summary: 5 Stars
I recall when initally started doing step vidoes there was Denise Austin and Kathy Smith. I enjoy Kathy Smith so much more. I initally started with her 'Step Workout' 10 years ago, then progressed to the 'Power Step Workout' (both great workouts). However these videos were VHS and I needed a DVD one, so I purchsed this one. I love this DVD! I feel so good after I do it. Living in a four season climate, and typically excercising in the morning, I love the convenience of rolling out of bed and putting this workout in. Other forms of excercise I do include running, walking, and yoga. I probably do this video four to five times a week during the winter, less the rest of the year. It does get tiring to watch the same thing alot, but my motivation to continue doing it, is the good feeling I have afterward. One thing I did to vary the DVD from getting monotonous would do the step workouts first, and then the arms. Or do the second step workout and then first one. The DVD menu makes this very easy to do. I enjoy the Kathy always incorporates a bit of arms and abs with her step workouts; not just focusing on the lower body. I also try to hold my abs in during certain parts of the routine to strenghten them; she says this in the video.
I recently had a baby and was unable to do the video after a certain point, but I am eager to get back to it. The routine may be confusing at first, but since I was familiar with Smith's style, I knew I would be challenged and eventually get the routine down. I prefer using a step for this workout, doing it on the floor doesn't get me sweating enough. I used to make my step very high, but it was bulking me up to much, so I lowered it. I got a nice balance. I highly recommend this video. The fact that you can do a half hour work out, when on a time constraint, is what keeps me doing this video too. I tried one of Kathy's other videos, kickboxing, not for me. Even though it was Kathy, I couldn't get it. So if you like stepping and like Kathy Smith, I highly recommend this DVD to vary your workout.
Summary of Kathy Smith's Fat Burning Breakthrough
The secret to breaking through weight-loss plateaus is challenging your body to work out at a higher intensity than it's used to, to "overload" in fitness parlance. Kathy Smith's Fat Burning Breakthrough presents two 18-minute step workout "waves" that progress through ever-harder intensities, building to a peak, then gradually tapering down. The two sessions can be done singly or combined into a 46-minute workout. Smith's all-female demonstrators show modifications for higher and lower intensity throughout, and one does the whole workout without a step for a much easier version.The choreography is more complex and the overall intensity is higher than most of Smith's videos, making this video most appropriate for intermediate exercisers. A brief weight workout follows each cardio session, and at the end is an abdominal and back routine, and a stretch.
Smith, as always, is safe and motivating, with excellent technique. Her fans appreciate that her videos contain no screaming, no frenzy, no endless counting, no distracting camera work. Although Smith is motivating, the music here is merely innocuous, barely keeping the beat. The setting is a lovely outdoor park scene. --Joan Price
