I keep skipping workouts! Due mostly to laziness and lack of motivation (any encouragement would be appreciated). Here, I do KCM's "30 Minutes to Fitness: Muscle Definition" (2009).
This is an excellent video. Other have quibbled about the "intermediate" rating -- but this set of two workouts can be done by anyone, beginner to advanced, just by varying the poundage (two sets of dbs are used in this video). Kelly even includes a modifier, for beginners.
Here she does a number of exercizes, such as db rows, bicep curls, lunges, etc. Typlically Kelly varies the types of lifts to make them more interesting. The video stresses a large number of reps, over short-rep heavy lifting. She also alternates between upper body and lower body lifting.
My only quibble is that the DVD cover recommends "5# and 7#" dbs for beginners. But I found this level too heavy, for me (and probable for some others, as well). But one can just reduce the poundage, to make sure the lifts are done properly. One plus: Kelley (like Cathe) uses demonstrators with realistic figures, something other competitors should think about doing.
Enjoyment factor: 9 stars out of 10.
