This 75-minute workout helped Kathy Ireland lose 40 pounds after the birth of her baby. Ireland is joined by an outdoor class of exercisers of both genders and all fitness levels, including one woman who is doing her first workout ever. The first segment is 30 minutes of very simple, low-impact aerobics. The moves are easy and repetitious, which is good if you're a beginner or you don't like choreography, and boring if you're experienced or like variety. Beginners will appreciate that Ireland demonstrates moves such as the grapevine in slow motion instead of assuming you know how to do it. The next segment is 25 minutes of total body conditioning without weights, such as lunges, pliés, and pushups. The final segment is 20 minutes of lower body "meltdown," traditional floor work for hips, buttocks, thighs, and abdominals. While you're resting afterwards, listen to 15 minutes of questions and answers. --Joan Price

Summary: Varying Skill Levels
Comment: This movie had been sitting at the back of my fitness video collection for a few years, but I decided to pull it out the other day and see what it was like. I consider myself very fit.
The first segment of the video was an aerobics segment. This part is for major beginners. I held weights in both my hands and I still could not get my heart rate up at all. The choreography is easy to catch on to, although her cuing suffers at times. Kathy seems to struggle the entire time, constantly trying to catch her breath.
Her inability to keep up with the seemingly easy aerobics segment made me hesitate to keep the video rolling into the next segment. However, I am very glad I did. The next segment was amazing. The leg conditioning was better than most videos. Her arm and ab work was just mediocre, but her leg work was fantastic.
I rarely get sore, but the following day I was definately sore. The last segment was fine as well. The legs were better than any other body part. So, if you need help sculping your legs - this is the video for you.
The 15 minute Q&A with her and her trainer was not too informative and seemed staged. Hope this review helps!

Summary: Excellent Workout
Comment: I am reordering this tape because the first one I ordered actually warped. This workout is amazing!! I lost 30 pounds that I had gained with my daughter within one month. I could feel the exercises working within a week. I love how it is broken down into 3 parts, amazing!! I still do this workout and my daughter is 6 years old. You can really keep up with the pace of this workout. This is an easy way to stay in shape!!!!!!!!!

Summary: I was Literally Inspired
Comment: This is a GREAT workout video! I bought it on a whim last week and have used it almost every day so far. I've tried many other videos in the past but this is the one that has inspired me to actually do it most days.
If I eliminate all the walking forward/side-to-side, I can do the whole aerobic section in the 3'x5' chunk of space next to my bed, about the space a yoga mat takes up, and still get my heart rate going. This is important for me because if I'm bumping into furniture or have to clear space and prepare before I even get started, I never get started.
The aerobic section is low impact, no stupid dancing or irritating cheerleading section in the background. It's basically some walking in place, lifting the knees, stepping side-to-side, the "grapevine" and some bicep curls. It gets your heart going but at the same time it's easy... and also easy to build on. I imagine as I get more in shape it will be easy to add things to this basic routine to make it more challenging. In this way, I feel like it's a great investment and I'll be able to use it for a long time to come.
I'm picky about music, and this one is good- it's just a basic drum beat- which is enough to get your toes tapping and give you something to play with. No crazy obnoxious rave music or (worse!) disco.
It's also fun to do with a partner! My fiance and I have done it together a few times and have had fun playing with its basic format and adding our own silly dance moves.
Kathy Ireland is a good leader- she seems a little nervous, repeats herself a few times, and is easy to heckle and talk back to when you need a laugh to keep your spirits up. She's clearly human in this video, so don't be turned off by the 'supermodel' thing.
I've held back from five stars for a few reasons:
1. I've only done the aerobic section, so I can't comment on the body conditioning or lower body workouts.
2. It doesn't specifically say that it's for beginners, and somebody who is more advanced might find it a tad too easy. However, as I said before, that's a benefit in disguise. With a little creativity, this workout could be the basic structure you build your more advanced routines around.
3. A few of the warm-up stretches don't feel right in my body... so I just don't do them. I do some yoga and make stuff up that stretches the same basic muscles.
If you're looking for a fun, flexible beginners routine that you can play with and modify as you go, this one is top notch.

Summary: one of the best workout videos ever!
Comment: kathy ireland is very supportive in this video. this is a great workout video for people who haven't worked out for a while or who are trying to find something they can stick to. she keeps telling everyone what a good job they're doing! At the same time the workout is fairly challenging. I used this video in coordination with a change in diet to lose 80 pounds. I would recommend it to anyone.
