 Extremely fun and challenging!Nov 17, 2006
By Carilu
I really enjoyed this video. The exercises can be strenuous, but if you learn to modify within your fitness level, you can begin to build strength slowly. The best part about the video besides the exercises is Kari's method of instruction. She's very easy to understand, enjoyable to listen to and urges you to take your time doing the moves. Her voice was not at all irritating like some other video instructors I've seen, which can sometimes make the exercises even more unbearable. The background music was excellent - upbeat, but not annoying, Indian-like rhythm, and combined with her deep soft voice, it made for a calm atmosphere. Kari combines ballet, pilates and yoga poses throughout the workout. She starts off with a head-to-toe flowing stretch routine as a warmup, then for the next thirty minutes demonstrates balance and stability. The following twenty minutes are the hardest part of the video with strength-building yoga moves that are designed to tone your arms, core, legs and buttocks. The last ten minutes consist of a cool-down stretch routine, but I like to continue some of the moves even after the workout is over to increase flexibilty and reduce muscle soreness. It's a great way to release tension and relax while at the same time toning the entire body. I highly recommend this DVD if you're sick of the conventional, studio-workouts like I am.

Killer toning, yoga, ballet-inspired, stretching workoutAug 21, 2006
By Touch Remedy
"TouchRemedy"
This is set a a very spacious stage w/modern/minimal simple background. She has 5 women behind her, one an older woman all in average to very good shape. The music is good & fast, usual aerobics synthezier, but doess't bother me at all & I'm picky about music.
The workout is killer, said to be for intermediate to advanced. She doesn't let you cool down between exercises in this entire 60 min session. You need some good muscles for leg lifts, deep squats or holding your body on 1 hand & leg or so.
I don't normally like plain aerobics, but since each of all the exercises have an obvious benefit like stretching, toning/strengthening, balance & most do more then 2 of these or more at once & all done fast-paced with many different movements, you can't not like it. She is also great about body awareness... she knows what feels good, what the body needs next to balance out.
Collagevideo com has a trailer for this & good description:
These routines have the grace of ballet and the intensity of "hard core" body sculpting. After a flowing, rhythmic warm-up, you'll move into the dance-inspired standing toning. Examples: a squat becomes a relevé. Or a plié becomes an extended-leg plié, which then rotates (so the entire sequence almost seems "choreographed"). The floor section is also unique - a blend of yoga, Pilates and traditional toning (e.g. a downward dog transitions into a plank; that plank turns into a "side plank" and it all evolves into a push-up).

Great dancers workoutJul 30, 2007
By WannabeDancer
This is one of my favourite workouts. Kari Anderson manages to be fun, upbeat and encouraging without being annoying and I will definitely look out for more workouts from her.
The workout is intermediate/advanced but she gives modifications where needed and always encourages you to go at your own pace. This 60 workout really goes by really fast. I especially like that she has packed a lot of exercises in with low repetitions so you don't get bored whilst still getting a total body workout. There is a very good 10 minute stretch at the end that I often do at the end of my other workouts. This one's definitely a keeper!

 ok workoutNov 11, 2010
By Feles31
I consider myself at an intermediate level of fitness.
Pros: Worked up a moderate sweat. Some of the moves were pretty tough. Much better than the other Angles workout from same instructor. Instructor non-annoying.
Cons: Explanations were good but I would have gladly traded half of them for more of a steady transition-cue and a count (or louder music with beat to follow) since a lot of moves you face down or away from the tv. Overall, not as tough as I hoped --- could use more repetition of medium-tough moves in place of easier, pretty-filler-balance moves.
I am thinking this would be good for beginners starting to work on their toning and flexibility or intermediate where you don't need to push too hard (a workout, not a challenging workout.)

 Nice workoutJan 11, 2007
By Juliana Juliana
This dvd is one hour... but you can divide it into three different workouts. The first workout is one of the best core workouts I have ever done.
