Four toning segments based on dance/pilates/yoga moves. Kathy Smith gives clear instruction. I could definitely feel the areas worked afterward.

"I believe I've done about ninety percent of all of Kathy Smith's videos, and for a good reason. Her workouts are well thought out and well planned, and the most effective.



I believe this video was more challenging than most of her other muscle toning videos because of the intricacy of the movements. The movements are very slight, but they are more intense and the angles are more awkward.



Because the exercises are more unconventional than other videos, it provides a nice change. However, one must be careful about hurting themselves while doing this workout (i.e., knees). The individual workouts themselves are not long, but they are intense. They work your muscles in directions they don't normally go."

A solid workout

"I bought this because of the reviews comparing it to Lotte Berk, one of my favorites. This is a workout based on those dance/pilates/yoga moves with some barre work, here done with a chair. The arm section is particularly good. I like this workout, and the variations on standard ballet plies (with a towel between your knees, for instance)are an inovative change,especially if you've been doing ballet barre exercises for awhile, as I have. I didn't give it five stars because I find it a little tedious, but it is definately worth buying."

Kathy Smith does not disappoint.

"This and Tracy Andersen's DVDs are my favorite Callanetics/Lotte Berke method inspired videos, this one is just as good and less expensive. Kathy Smith is great. She is encouraging and fun without seeming fake. There is also chaptering so you can customize your workout. It contains the best combination of movements and you can feel how effective it is without becoming frustrated. I definitely recommend this one."
