The Kathy Smith Timesaver: Lift Weights to Lose Weight exercise video focuses on muscle tone, core strength and balance via the use of dumbbells (which must be purchased separately); it's the top pick of several experts, who say Kathy Smith offers the best weight-training DVDs on the market. Pilates and yoga principles are incorporated to add variety, and since you can go out and buy progressively heavier weights, you won't outgrow this DVD as quickly as some others, such as the highly recommended Denise Austin Mat Workout (*est. $15).
This DVD is also a favorite of users posting to Amazon.com. We also found user reviews at both Epinions.com and CollageVideo.com as well.

While this video is a staff favorite, six users give it a fair overall rating of just 2 stars out of 5. One person gives it a perfect score, but the others all had complaints. Many feel the instructor's cuing is dreadful so no one knows what move comes next.
