DVD Reviews of Kathy Smith TimeSaver - Lift Weights to Lose Weight, Vol. 2
DVD Review: Okay to Add to One's Exercise Library; However, Not the Best
Summary: 2 Stars
I really needed to add some variety to my weight workouts, so I thought this VHS would be a welcomed addition to "Lift Weights...Volume 1." Personally, I prefer Volume 1; however, this is not a review of Volume 1...It's Volume 2, the VHS version. I have and enjoy several of K.S.'s videos/DVD's. This one has somewhat different exercises than Volume 1, which is obviously good, but Kathy just does not seem to be up to par physically as she usually is. She does not appear to be in the best shape, her facial features are somewhat odd when she speaks, and she sometimes acts "forced," "winded," and "unsteady." Personally, I find all of this distracting. Additionally, it is distracting because the first half of video is "lower" body, the second half is "upper" body, and then as others have pointed out, there is a rather overdrawn, detailed abdomen section. For me, it is my preference to work "upper" and "lower" body...yes, I can forward the tape and then rewind it to exercise in that order, but that is just a hassle! Again, as mentioned, there is really not much stretching. Between the "lower" and "upper" body sections, there is minute or two of a rather whimsical Kathy filmed in black and white perfoming the body stretches on a mat on a beach.
As for the exercises...the lower body section is not nearly as intense as on her Volume 1 video, but if one uses the heavy weights and leg weights, one will probably receive a good workout. The same may be said for the upper body. I do not know what the "unique rotational twist" is supposed to add to the standing upper body routines other than assisting one who has contortional aspirations, but again, if one uses the heaviest weights one can stand without hurting oneself, a good workout may occur. There are probably eight people working out with Kathy, and there are options for the less advanced exerciser (doing the workout sitting/leaning on a chair and lighter weights), but quite frankly, while I find the video to do its job if done to the maximum, it is really not a very impressive workout. I rotate the video with my other weight routine workouts, and it is my least favorite. It seems to be put together quickly, the routines seem re-hashed, yet described as being "more effective" than previous routines, especially the upper body and the "unique rotational twist" explanation. There really is not much of a variety of exercises regardless of the fact that it is supposed to be a "quick" routine. With all of the fancy props, the avante garde black and white stretch segments, and the unique rotational twist, this tape is more hype than work.
To update this review, I have since purchased the combo DVD LW's Volume's One & Two. The DVD version of Volume Two apparently has a bonus "Stability Ball" workout, which I found by accident! After I found it, I lost it and could not find it again! I don't know if there is a glitch in the DVD, but finding the bonus Stability Ball workout was a real pain. The one time I managed to find it, I worked out to it, and it is filmed in black and white, and basically Kathy working out with the ball on that same beach where she was "whimsically" skipping around and stretching between routines. The stability ball workout was okay, but I have not worked out to the routine enough to provide any review.
