Summary: Ordering my 2nd copy
Comment: I'm ordering my second copy of this exercise tape. My first one finally gave out this morning after years of use. I'm glad Amazon still carries it. This is a GREAT workout tape! It's fun to do and very, VERY, effective. This tape has one of the best ab exercise that I know. It also has great workout using hand weights. It was from this tape that I fell in love with Karen Voight's programs. I've been a fan of Karen ever since. My only complaint is that they still sell this as VHS tape instead of DVD disk. Some things are timeless. This workout is one of them. The company should sell this in DVD format already.

Summary: Never gets old!
Comment: This video just plain rocks! I started using this tape when I was 18 and got amazing results. I am now 31 and still come back to it when I need to lose weight and tone up. It's SO effective, but not too hard that I injure myself. I always have sore knees after doing the Firm. There are no lunges in this video which I love. The cardio is TOUGH and makes my lungs burn and the toning is just perfect. Lots of arm work so be prepared. This is a great tape to get your butt in shape and have fun at the same time. LOVE IT!!

Summary: Great results, easy, and energetic!
Comment: I loved this video. It is easy to do, yet you will be pleasantly sore the following day, you can feel that you worked every muscle. But don't take that wrong...it feels great!! After working with this video, anything else is too fast or too annoying. This video has a great pace, beautiful scenery and music, and is EASY to learn and get used to. The first few times I couldn't really do the last segment of aerobics, but after pushing myself, I realized it is necessary and it became easier!! I have since lost this tape while moving, but I am gonna buy it again on Amazon.com!!

Summary: An all-time favorite!
Comment: I used this video for almost ten years until the tape finally wore out and broke. It's a great workout...really fun. It works your legs, arms and abs and it really gets your heart pumping. The scenery is great and Karen Voight is amazing!

Summary: One of my old time favorites
Comment: Like many of my fellow reviewers, I've owned this tape for years and while I am addicted to buying new exercise DVDs, I will never part with this workout. In 45 minutes I feel like I've done a full body cardio/strength training workout. I love the intervals of cardio and strength - I've read many articles that state how good interval training is for you. The cardio sections are great at getting my heart rate up and by the time I get through the strength training segment, I'm recovered and ready for cardio again. Cardio gets more intense each time and the last one always wears me out! The strength training exercises are tough you will feel the burn! The arm section (strength training segment 2) is the most challenging for me but I love it!
And yes, this video has the most beautiful background you can imagine! The colors are vibrant and the scenery is gorgeous. I love the background music, too, especially Sting singing 'Smooth Like A Wave" during the abs and cooldown...or maybe that's just because it's at the end and I know I'm almost done!
Elle's comments are kind of funny, but I think she's enjoyable and she's really working out in the video. I love Karen's cues and the way she gives little clues to make the exercises more instense. My favorite part, though, is after the cool down when they show a blooper of a giant wave takung over their set while (for some unknown reason) they continue to try and finish their workout before they give in to a big fit of giggles!
