Kathy Smith - Body Boomers Workout, 2008-01-19
i already had most of these, as it is a repeat of her "menopause" tape, but good workout for all levels of fitness.

Perfect Workout, 2007-12-02
With a job change I was not getting to the gym as often as I needed to. I bought this disk as an auxillary workout between gym visits. I found that it was very well-rounded and actually gave me a better workout than I had at the gym. I was out of shape when I started, but was able to get through it and as my shape improved I continued to be challenged by it. As a female over 45 and appreciated the information about pre-menapause though I just fast forward through it now.

Perfect for "over 40", 2007-11-01
I have many of Kathy Smith's workouts, and I was looking for something new to add to my collection. This DVD ended up to be exactly what I was looking for. Although I am just entering peri-menopause (I'm 42), I found the information about menopause to be very interesting. I am definitely forearmed. The low-impact workout was very fun; I especially enjoyed the cha-cha cross-over step! The last combination or so was a little challenging to figure out which leg was to come up on which side in order to make the combination work from side to side, but after doing it quite a few times, I made a mental note to lift the knee that was on the side I was turning (hopefully that makes sense to someone else). I can now say I've got that down. There are a few places where Kathy lets your heart rate recuperate a little and then she brings it back up, again, which (in my opinion) would make the workout easier for people of any level to complete.

The strength training was very enjoyable, too. In fact, I was surprised that I was sore in a few backside places after doing it. It will be a workout I won't mind doing over and over because Kathy doesn't add any frill to her calls. (Kathy looks just wonderful in all of the workouts, but I'd have to say I don't really care for her outfit in this one!)

The yoga workout was a very lovely stretching, centering, and relaxing workout. Quickly removing your socks and shoes after the previous workout and removing any clips in your hair make the routine much more relaxing!

I haven't done the ball routine, yet, so I can't comment on that.

The end of the DVD contains excerpts of interviews of doctors regarding menopause and how to minimize its symptoms. I found it rather perplexing (in a jesting sort of way) that when Kathy complains about each of the symptoms (to represent the average menopausal woman), often the response is to engage in regular exercise to minimize or eliminate that symptom. I'm not sure how this would be comforting to Kathy who probably exercises more than the average Jane!

Again, this DVD was exactly what I wanted. I took the summer off from exercising for various reasons, and now that all my kids are in school, I wanted to get back into it. I have a perfect place to work out and a new DVD to get motivated In my opinion, this is a great addition to anyone's library.
