DVD Reviews of Kathy Smith - Timesaver Cardio Fat Burner
DVD Review: 2 20 Minute Aerobic Routines to Burn Fat
Summary: 4 Stars
Workout Description: 2 20-minute segments (a "Progressive Combination Routine" and a "Mixed Aerobics with `Calorie Bursts'") w/ 7 minute cool-down "Strip Away Stress" stretch for a total of 47 minutes
Workout Level: mid-beginner to mid-intermediate; can be modified to be low or high impact; moderately complex choreography
Instructor: Kathy Smith (Has taught fitness for about 20 years and starred in 25+ exercise videos; received IDEA's Lifetime Achievement award for 2003). Kathy's cueing is good. She's overly enthusiastic on this tape, which sometimes causes her to trip up her cues, and she lets her students "help" lead the class, with varying degrees of success. She works both sides evenly and means for you to mirror her moves. Kathy narrates the high impact options and some modifications by voice over, but the rest is done "live."
Class: 10 women and 2 men of various ages and body sizes who rotate around
Music / Set: The beat-heavy synthesizer music is pretty cheesy. The interior set is bright, both in terms of light and colors. For some reason the camera operators keep using fancy techniques, like blurring the image, which I find distracting and not very helpful.
Equipment Needed: sneakers
Caveats: Be careful with your foot placement if you are working out on carpet, particularly with the shuffles and pivots (turns), which I often skip. Kathy is sometimes off the beat, and everyone in the class messes up at some time, so you can't stick to watching one person. There is no real warm-up, so devise your own or use a warm-up from another video. The first routine will warm you up pretty well, but I don't recommend starting the second cold. There is no cool down between the end of either routine and the stretch. You can either walk in place until your heart rate comes down or you can do the last run through with less intensity.
Additional Comments: You don't need a lot of space for this workout. You should be able to take two medium-sized steps forward and back and two large steps to either side.
You actually have five different options with this workout: just the first routine, just the second as low impact, just the second as hi/lo impact, the first and second as low impact, and the first and second as hi/lo impact. The first routine is a classic "Take it From the Top" routine, where you learn a step or two, practice them, and then do the entire routine. You do the same routine for the entire 20 minutes; after spending just under 2/3 of that time learning it, you repeat it over several times before ending. The second routine consists of four blocks with three or four steps that you learn and then repeat, either choosing the low or high impact ("Cardio Blast") options. If you do the Cardio Blasts, you can make this an interval workout where you can push yourself and increase your cardiovascular activity.
This is a good workout, but the class participation (there are lots of whoops and hollers in addition to the guest instructing) and production take away some of the fun. I find I can only do this workout with the volume down low. Now that I've discovered Christi Taylor, I rarely do this video. The stretch segment is probably the best part; I've just used that part after other workouts, as it really helps prevent soreness and improve flexibility.
The DVD allows you to skip the introduction and select your workout. In addition, there is a short segment called "Kathy's Tips on `The Fat Free Snack Myth'" discussing how low fat doesn't mean low calorie, some healthy snack recipes, and trailers for other Kathy Smith videos.
