VHS Movie Reviews of Fat Burning Workout [VHS]

Movie Review: Good old fashioned Cathy workout
Summary: 4 Stars

Everybody knows that Cathy is the queen, but that doesn't mean that she never comes up short. This workout is too long, and it bypasses ab work. For that she gets one star taken away, but if you got 70 minutes to spare and more time to work your abs, then this is a great workout because it well works your arms, cardio and legs. It's a great way to burn off dinner!

Movie Review: You need to buy this one
Summary: 5 Stars

Thanks for all the reviews - it helped me to decide to purchase this one. VERY happy. Never had heard of Kathy's tapes before. I'm a low impact exerciser & Kathy REALLY has 2 folks doing the low impact versions next to the other 2 folks doing the high impact. This one is worth the time & will be used often.

Movie Review: Something for everyone
Summary: 4 Stars

If you can get past the dated outfits and nondescript music of the eighties, you will probably enjoy this workout, no matter what your level. The premise of this workout is that a longer, lighter workout burns more fat than a quick, intense one. So the goal here is to keep your heart rate at the lower end to allow a longer workout, thus more fat-burning. But if you are advanced, there's no reason you can't add more range of motion (or strap on wrist and ankle weights) for more rewarding results; if you're a beginner, just turn the tape off when you've had enough but DON'T forget to cool down a little with a little walking around the house). Enclosed in the video is a "Fat Burning Nutritional Tips" booklet, which pretty much advocates high carbs, low fat - she doesn't differentiate between good and bad fats, but she DOES recommend your carbs be the quality kind - whole grains, fresh fruits and veggies, etc.

The 55 minutes are broken down into a warm-up, 6 workout segments, and a cool down/stretch. The six workout segments are interval training: aerobics mixed with some strength and toning exercises. The steps are easy to follow and pretty basic. The toning includes your typical lunges, squats, arm and shoulder work (using your body only for resistance - or pick up a set of weights and really work it), as well as even some back exercises.

If you are a beginner, this video serves as a really good starting point. I consider myself advanced and can make it through the whole thing quite easily, but with a nice sweat, thanks to the extra energy I put into the routine.

This workout is simple enough that most people can catch on during the first time through the video. This fact is enough to bore me after the third or fourth time (I require constant challenge for the most part), so I'm glad I borrowed this from the local library instead of buying it. You can buy this one on ebay for a couple dollars and for that reason, it's a good one to add to your collection, even if you only do it a few times a year, mixed in with your regular workouts. If you're new to the workout world, this could, quite possibly, be the video that you do until the tape breaks or until you decide to move it up a level.

Movie Review: Fun low-impact workout
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a 40 minute, mostly low-impact workout. It is divided into 6 sections. There are form pointers and modifiers, even basic human anatomy lessons on the names of the muscles worked - such as the quadriceps, latissimus (sp?) dorsi, deltoids, etc. I like these lessons; I, for one, have heard of the names but don't know where they are located, and after doing this workout, I can finally put a "face to a name." This workout burns fat AND educates you! There are also two places to check your pulse and two places to check your exertion rate.

This is a super fun workout! This video was made in 1991 but this did not feel dated at all. In fact, most of the moves are still done today - such as step taps, repeaters, hamstring curls, and mambo cha cha chas. The choreography is simple and easy to follow. She likes to use arm circles.

The moves connect to each other extremely well; moving from one move to another is very smooth. This is important because moves that don't mesh together make the workout choppy, clumsy, and frustrating to do. Kathy does a great job of creating combinations that flow from one move to another very well. One such example: walk 4 steps to the left, followed by 4 repeaters followed by 4 step touches.

Kathy herself is pleasant and mild. There is no squealing like in her Timesaver Lift Weights to Lose Weight video. I think her favorite way to cue is to start with "Take it...," whether it's "take it back," "take it up," "take it from the top," etc. because she says that a lot. She has 6 background exercisers, and except for the occasional and minimal cheering and whooping, they are supportive but not a distraction.

I thoroughly enjoy this workout. I'm not bored at all and Kathy chooses combinations that are fun to do, hence making this workout very fun.

Movie Review: Best Energizing Workout Video
Summary: 5 Stars

This video is awesome. I feel so energized after I do it and it keeps my energy up for the rest of the day. I have been doing the video for 2 weeks now and have lost 5 pounds! It really works your behind and hips.
