Editorial Review:Amazon.com: Ever wish you could hire Kathy Smith--she of the amazing body and wonderful encouraging attitude--to be your own personal trainer? This new disc, which combines three earlier separate workout routines, is the next best thing. It includes one of Smith's absolute top workouts,
Functionally Fit: Peak Fat-Burning, which is tailored to all levels, needs no equipment, and really works if you work it. This routine combines intense aerobic blasts with "cool-down" toning moves that keep the body moving but work it out in different ways, to maximize fat-burning long after the workout is done. Two earlier workouts are also included.
Secrets of a Great Body: Upper Body Workout focuses on arms, back, chest, and shoulders, and includes some serious ab work (do as many as you can with good form, and work up to the full routine). Hint: people with shoulder and neck issues should take it easy on the overhead reaches, which Smith does with ease, but which can exacerbate problems in those with computer- and posture-related issues. The
Secrets of a Great Body: Lower Body Workout focuses on the squats, lunges, and lifts that will give you lean body mass in your glutes, hips, thighs, and calves (one thing we appreciate about Smith's workouts is that she doesn't neglect the calves, which some exercise mavens do, but which are so important to strengthen and keep flexible for walking and supporting the rest of the body). Alternate among these three workouts to keep yourself interested and engaged, and you'll see some serious results. Ready? Let's kick it up!

This is a great workout DVD. I found the upperbody workout not as challenging as I'm used to, but I've also been weight lifting for 17 years. But it had some great new moves I don't normally do and have now incorporated them into my routine.
The lower body workout was a challenge, but I will admit I don't do enough down there. Lets just say my butt hurt, and you'll be mad at Kathy Smith for a few days afterwards. I could feel it working after only a few weeks, my jogging, everything was stronger, and it helps me with my job because I do a lot of standing.
Finally, the cardio workout was good, she brings in some strength training inbetween cool downs, but I feel like I could do a little more..........So I do!

great video, especially for someone (such as myself) who hasn't had an exercise routine for a while. easy-to-follow steps, but really gets your heart pumping!!

I am a huge Kathy Smith fan, but I did not like this nearly as much as her other workouts. I found the lower body workout to be a bit boring--the music was way to mellow. I didn't like the introductions before each segment and I found the pace to be too slow. Also, Kathy seemed to be missing her usual energy. For toning, I would instead recommend her Lift Weights to Lose Weight, Volume 1.
However, I did enjoy the cardio segment, which is why I gave the dvd two stars. It's a nice workout if you don't have a lot of time. It gets you moving and is a good pace.

She always manages to get you to work up a sweat in a very small space!
Anytime you get Kathy Smith for a workout, any kind, you can't go wrong.

This a great work out, the body sculpting is particularly good. I gave it 3 stars because Kathy sounds like she is reading cue cards, so that really put me off.
