Movie Reviews of Karen Voight: Firm Arms and Abs
Movie Review: Great arms and step bench not necessary
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
