Kathy Smith Timeless Collection: Fat Burning Classics



One workout here is suitable
Did the Fat Burning workout when it was on VHS. Then it was 60 minutes long WHEW! Now it is edited to 40 minutes and much more practical for over 50. Be warned the Body Basics workout and Winning Workout are high impact with muscle bound young males and young females performing. Under the winning workout can use some of the weight lifting methods.

Kathy Smith Revisited
I discovered Kathy Smith's videos in the late 1980s when I was in my mid-forties. I'm now in my mid-sixties and still work out to her and others' videos. I once owned all three of the workouts featured in this "Timeless" series. The "Fat-Burning" video was an all-time favorite of mine; I literally wore it out after about six years of playing it. I still love it today, can still do it, and am so glad to have it again on DVD. As for the other two workouts on this DVD, "Body Basics" was not a favorite of mine back in the '80s, but I have gained a new appreciation of it today. The floor work--especially for the legs--is terrific!

The "Winning Workout" is okay, but even in the old days I found the weight-lifting portion too convoluted, with all its graduated phases. Plus, it moves too fast for me. Kathy has newer videos that offer far better weight-training segments in my opinion. So, now that I'm twenty years older, I have even less reason to revisit the Winning Workout, and...

The oldies are always the goodies!
I love working out at home to videos. I have a nice collection, but Kathy Smith's videos have always been my favorite. She's taken her great 1980's classics and FINALLY put them on DVD! This one includes my all time favorite, The Fat Burning Workout. I was finally able to part with my worn out VHS version. I LOVE this collection!
