KAREN VOIGHT: FIRM ARMS & ABS (DVD MOVIE)

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great arms and step bench not necessary
I really enjoyed the arms segment of the video. I recommend having multiple weights available depending on your strength level. I needed 3 lbs for shoulders, 8-10 lbs for biceps, and 5 lbs for the rest. My arms were shaking after completing the workout the first time… it works! Great for beginners.

The stair-stepper bench was not really necessary as there were no step routines included for the warm-up or the workouts. She uses it as a seat, and to prop up her leg during the arm segment. She uses it as an inclined bench for the abs section. I did the ab section on a mat to cushion my back and still felt the burn.

I agree with another reviewer that the abs section was a bit light and will be good for beginners. I simply did some of the exercises at double her speed or raised my upper back off of the mat to increase the intensity.

Finally, I liked that this video had no cardio interruptions. I know that trainers insist on lots of cardio before strength training, however, it’s easier to add your own exercises before you start than to fast forward through things you don’t like. I’m very pleased with my purchase.

4 Stars Very Aerobic
I think that this is a good DVD, but it was more aerbics and less focused on “strength” than I wanted. I was hoping for more free weight exercises.

3 Stars to lose weght you need more airobic
Good arm toning.Abs exercises are so so.Would not say bad but for the advanced they are not challenging enough.As to arms exercises in my opinion they are perfect.

5 Stars She’s amazing
Karen is such a brilliant instructor and to me, she’s one of the most motivating because she comes across as so encouraging and kind and cues so well that you end up giving it your all. I still love this workout and pull it out every now and then.

The upper body program is a little challenging, but when it comes to toning, you want challenging so you can see nice defined muscles. You do everything from curls and flies and then there’s a great stretch. For the abs section, it’s easy to follow and there is modifications that you can do as you do it more often and you get stronger at it. I like that because it’s always giving you something to work towards.

You need weights and a step bench if you have one, and I think this is such a brilliant workout. I love doing it and it’s all under 45 minutes. You will feel this the next day or two and see results fast if you do it regularly. I really like this and highly recommend it.

3 Stars FIRM ARMS AND ABS
I wish I knew all the excercises were done on bench before I purchsed the DVD.

Hopefully I will be able to do some of excerises on the floor or standing.
