Kathy Smith is an AWESOME workout instructor. After having three babies and all these years, this DVD is still my favorite and really works for me. If you are trying to decide between Kathy Smith and Denise Austin, always choose Kathy Smith. I got one Denise Autsin's workout DVD and it was boring and her voice just rub me the wrong way. Good luck and hope you will enjoy the workout with Kathy Smith.

Good travel routine

I normally do step aerobics for the heftier workout, but this is a favorite of mine to take traveling, because it's a fun workout which requires no equipment. I also do it on some of my less ambitious days. I like the 40 minute timeline and the variety of moves. The division into intervals makes the routine seem to go faster than most videos.

Excellent, For Tough Workouts

Finally a real warm-up and cool-down, many instructors skip that nowadays. Also, this is a real interval workout. Basic moves so when the intensity is picked up, you can concentrate on your form and pushing yourself, not where your feet are going. The timeclock for the 2-minute intervals isn't up on the screen for the full 2 minutes, which is great because that would've been torture. I actually couldn't finish all the intervals the first time I did this...she kicked my butt. Excellent active recovery between intervals and good modifiers for low impact or beginners. Good cuing and form reminders from Kathy. One of her better workouts.

Kathy Smith is so upbeat, sensible, and easy to follow that if you abide by her instructions, you can't help but get a good workout. Functionally Fit: Peak Fat Burning should definitely be one of your keepers. Smith's tried-and-true workout method here combines six two-minute intense bursts of aerobic activity, spliced between recovery exercises, which include loads of lunges and squats. The pace is just right for intermediate to advanced students--the high-energy segments really fly by. The presentation is clear and very easy to follow (it helps that the moves are very simple, even when done at the maximum-intensity level). The session includes 6 minutes of warm-up (some of which is vigorous enough that total beginners should plan to take it very easy), 25 minutes of the interval-and-active-recovery workout, and 7 minutes of cool-down and stretch. True beginners, while given options of following some low-impact moves, may find the overall intensity level too high. The upper body doesn't get much attention here, but this video is topnotch for lower-body toning and overall cardio fitness. --Anne Hurley
