Fat Burning Workout take 1
Who: Radagast and SO
Exercise type: Kathy Smith's Fat Burning Workout video
Portions of tape: warmup, aerobics 1-6, cooldown (entire tape)
Duration: ~70 minutes
Notes: This low-intensity, beginner workout left us exhausted. We did better following the steps than we did on our first Kathy Smith video attempt, but some of the moves still left us a bit befuddled; The aerobics moves are more complex than in Kathy Smith's Body Basics. The background exercisers are a nice component of the video - they look like real people (you can't count their muscle fibers!), and Kathy interacts with them regularly during the video (so they're not just shadows of the star). We didn't like the music as much as in Kathy Smith's Body Basics video, but it wasn't distractingly bad. The clothes and studio decoration scream out "late 80's".
Radagast's SO's arms were worn out by the end of the tape, thanks to constantly waving them around.
The reviews of the tape on Video Fitness strike us as very accurate now that we've completed it.
