DVD Reviews of Kathy Smith - Matrix Method - Ultimate Sculpt
DVD Review: Kathy's Back! This Is a Great Workout That Will NOT Dissapoint!
Summary: 4 Stars
I keep up a fairly strenuous workout routine incorporating yoga, weights and cardio, so while I rotate my workout routines to avoid plateaus, I am also always on the lookout for fresh, solid, and excellent workouts. I was not impressed with Kathy's "Lift Weights Volume Two," but I thought I'd give this "Matrix Method" a whirl since the review sounded good. It is! Kathy must be getting up there in age, but not only does she look FAB in this workout (either the lighting is good or exercise IS the key to staying young!), she provides the participant with an excellent sculpt routine. I have seen many of these particular "core" moves in other workouts, but for this workout, I would suggest that beginner levels first attempt this workout without using the weights, only because the moves and pace are fast and one could easily get hurt. Intermediate levels may want to begin with lighter weights (3-5 lbs) and work up to heavier if appropriate. Advanced may be able to breeze through this workout as is and use heavier weights. Regardless, a great workout will be achieved. I used ankle weights and alternated dumbbell weights (8-12 lbs), and I was able to execute the moves and I will tell you--I felt every bit of it!
Apparently, Kathy Smith "discovered" one of the participants, "Angela," and her "Matrix Workout" at a popular gym, and Kathy provides an additional interview with Angela explaining the basis of this routine, as well as an approximate ten-minute advanced routine led by Angela. As for this workout, the entire tone of the workout is upbeat, the filming, state-of-the-art, yet not distracting, the participants seem fresh and as if they are having a great time--different participants work at different levels, which provides the at-home participant with options. Some of the participants are at top level, some mid-level, and some, like Nancy Walker, a veteran of Kathy's workouts, is at the beginner-option level, so everyone who wants to attempt this workout can because there are options. The workout is tough, but good; fun, yet effective. I enjoy circuit-type workouts, and while this is not a straight cardio workout, if one is beginning or using the weights and executing maximum effort, you will feel the heart pumping and receive some heartrate response! I mentioned that I was not impressed with Kathy's "Lift Weights Vol. 2" workout...it seems slapped together and sloppy, and Kathy is not at her best. This workout is fresh with plenty of moves to keep one's body in tip-top shape, and Kathy herself looks great and is in top form for the workout as well. I would definitely recommend this workout as part of one's routine. I can feel and see the benefits already after only one week, and it's great to see that Kathy's back with an excellent workout routine. Aside from a few glitches in the filming (I caught a cord dangling in front of the camera, as well as someone's hand briefly waving across the lens...and yes, there are a few moves which Kathy does not repeat on the other side), this workout will do the job providing shape and tone to one's body! I may edit this review after working out with the DVD for a few more weeks, which is usually when I notice some "intricacies" I may have ommitted; however, at this point, I love this workout!
***To update: I have been working out to "The Matrix" every week since purchase (it's basically my Saturday workout), and the benefits are really amazing! Also, the workout does NOT become stale.
