Eigentlich finde ich diese DVD von Jutta Schuhn ganz o.k, aber Fortgeschrittene dürften bei diesem Workout unterfordert sein.  Zwar kommt man ordentlich ins Schwitzen, doch finde ich den Ausdauer- und Kraftteil ein wenig zu kurz geraten.

Beim Ausdauerteil ist ein Segment, bei dem alternativ mit einen Stepper (nicht Steppbrett) trainiert werden kann, ich persönlich finde, dass hätte Jutta Schuhn weglassen können, denn es ist bei den vorgegebenen Schritten kaum durchführbar.

Der Kraftteil ist für Po und Oberschenkel fordernd, der Trainingsteil für den Oberkörper ist an sich o.k. Hier wird alternativ mit gefüllten Wasserflaschen und dem Theraband (anstatt Kurzhanteln) gearbeitet. Was aber auf alle Fälle fehlt ist das Bauchtraining. Das gehört für mich zum Ganzkörpertraining unbedingt dazu.

Although Karen Voight´s workout is originally released on Video for the first time in the 1990s - you can see that because of the old-fashioned clothes -  it is still absolutely up-to-date.  On this DVD she concentrates on the upper body, abs and back.

She is an excellent instructor. She gives during the whole workout hints and instructions how to carry out the different exercises correctly, and this in a very motivating way.

During the upper body workout all  important muscle groups are trained. You can work on your own fitness level by taking lighter or heavier weights. The upper body routine is follwed by an effective  16-minute abs and back workout.

The upper body as well as the abs and back training take place on a step bench.

A very good DVD. In my opinion rather suitable for intermediats, but advanced can also use this DVD by choosing heavier dumbbells.

Karen Voight´s DVD is for strengthening the back and abdominals. She combines effectively Pilates abs exercises with traditional crunches in the ab section. The workout is gentle with a quiet backround music. The tempo is slow and there is always time enough to perform the different exercises effectively.

Enough repetitions take place, however, not too many that it becomes boring. Through Karen´s empathy and her hints how to modify one or the other exercise, she motivates people to carry on. She always gives advices for the correct execution of the different exercises. Also the part for the back is very effective and might be helpful for people with back problems.

The DVD could be too demanding for beginners but quiet right for intermediates.

Great DVD

This Workout is an effective and varied total body training. The menu is great. You can not only choose every workout separately but Kelly Coffey also offers 8 additional  pre-defined programs. It is a mixture of the two main workouts as well as the bonus workout.  So you have 10 workout options.

In workout 1 all important muscles of the upper body are trained. Kelly and a co-trainer show a more difficult versions of the exercises and a third person the easier ones.  They work with dumbbells and a step bench. It would be useful to have lighter and heavier dumbells, but this is not absolutely necessary. The step bench is used for the breast and triceps exercises etc.  But this is also not necessary as one of Kelly´s co-trainer demonstrate.  The other exercises are carried out in standing position, also those for the waist and abs (standing crunch, side crunch etc.). The workout ends with a short stretch.

Workout  2 is for the lower body. Here the resistance band is used and this is a  fantastic alternation to other known exercises. A co-trainer, however,  shows the exercises without the band (but it is more fun and effective with it). Then squats with inversion, lunges, leg press etc. follow. These are without the band. All exercises are in standing position, they are challenging, effective and varied. Also this workout ends with a short stretch.

In the bonus part, the resistance band is used again. All exercises of this segment are carried out on the floor and train the buttocks, the inner thigh, the front legs and the abs.

Kelly Coffey´s instructions are not so detailed as those of Keli Roberts or Karen Voight for example. Although  this doesn´t bother me I have to deduct a half point.

Great DVD.
