DVD Reviews of Kathy Smith: Peel off the Pounds Pilates

DVD Review: I like this one for lighter days...
Summary: 5 Stars

At first I thought this DVD would be too "easy" for me. I was surprised at how much I felt the muscle fatique the next day.
It seems innocent enough..starting out with knee bends then waving the arms side to side to engage the obliques...it gets harder from there.
The "dance" part is a series of leg lifts, plies, lunges, gravevines with leg lifts, and always arm movements to go with them. I did sweat a bit--not a lot, but I did get pretty warm. (Say a 6 1/2 out 10)
The mat work was perfect for me. I liked the leg and ab section especially. I felt it the next day.
I only do this DVD every few weeks, but I am enjoying it more each time I do it ;-)

DVD Review: Great Workout
Summary: 5 Stars

It's a great workout that doesn't over exsert but still works up a good sweat. I have always been a Kathy Smith fan and with getting older, I don't need a workout that's going to stop me from working out the rest of the week because I can't move from tired and sore muscles. This is perfect.

DVD Review: Not Intensive
Summary: 2 Stars

I've done a lot of Kathy's workouts and I'm starting to think she's gotten very rich ridding every trend releasing the same video under a different name: maybe incorporating a few key moves and phrases associated with the type of workout she's trying to sell. This video is very simple- maybe okay if you havent worked out in a while, or have limited mobility. The cardio section is so typical of all her previous low-impact stuff and I saw little if none of the pilates principles in there. "Three knee lifts on the left- three knee lifts on the right- now kick ball chain mombo". The cover advertises that there are three slimming rountines, which leds a reasonable person to think there are three workouts- great i can alternate them...well no, the 20 min cardio counts as one- the 10 minute arms is another one, then then minute legs another one. Misleading. The arms and legs were okay pilates-wise and challenging for maybe a beginner- but too short to really do any good. Also, it interesting that Kathy's face doesn't move except her lips. It's tighter than taffy. Now I know where the money is going.

DVD Review: a nice workout
Summary: 4 Stars

This is the workout you need for those days when you want to exercise, but you don't want to feel like you've been hit by a bus afterwards. Know what I mean? :-) It's "nice," to put it plain and simple. It feels really good and is just challenging enough. If you do it giving your best effort, you will feel worked from head to toe. Do focus on the advice Kathy Smith gives about your form because that really adds to the results. When I come to the upper body section, I use 3 lb. weights, whereas in other workouts, I can do 5lbs. at least. This workout targets the muscles you are trying to get at, so you have to go a little lighter! But when it's over, you'll feel great!

DVD Review: Very Impressive Full-Body Workout
Summary: 5 Stars

This is my first Kathy Smith purchase. I've rented one of her dvds in the past but I didn't like the style of that particular video. Well, I'm so glad I decided to pick this one up! Kathy is a fabulous instructor, and I rank her right up there with Denise Austin (my absolute favorite). She is constantly offering insight on how to keep perfect form for each exercise.

The set reminds me of the Mandarin Oriental in Miami. The music is very Cafe del Mar. The cardio workout has no jumping so it's very easy on the joints. Some of the reviews made it sound like a dance workout, which I was not looking for. It's actually very fast-paced standing pilates with some jazz-inspired movements. All-in-all, it's an elegant routine that is simple to follow yet very engaging and fun.

Next was the toning portion. The upper body workout was basically Pilates with weights. That's a very challenging combination! The lower body workout really isolated the core. My muscles were sore all over by the end of the dvd, but it was such a pleasant experience that I was already looking forward to doing it again.

I'm so glad I found such an intense workout that is also so much fun (usually it's one or the other). Kathy Smith has got herself a new fan!
