Kathy Smith - Great Buns and Thighs Step Workout

Classic Kathy Smith - Great Buns & Thighs Step Workout

You know step aerobic workouts are great fat burners, but did you realize how well they define and sculpt the lower-body muscles? This superb 50-minute workout is one of Kathy Smith's best. She uses the step positioned perpendicular to the TV, so rather than the usual up-up-down-down moves, you're stepping up from the side and lifting the other leg, or going over the top. This workout is divided into three parts. After a 6-minute workout, segment 1 (16 minutes) builds muscle endurance with an aerobic workout using moves that focus on the thigh and buttock muscles. The routine is intense and athletic, with no dance moves or complicated arm work. Smith includes some optional plyometric (jumping) moves. Segment 2 (10 minutes) uses intense, standing exercises to strengthen and shape the buttocks and thighs, such as squats straddling the step and lunges with one foot on the step. Segment 3 (10 minutes) uses high-intensity isolation exercises, similar to traditional floor work with some innovative additions, weights optional. Then a 5-minute cool down lets your muscles stretch and recover. If you want to challenge and sculpt your lower body and get your aerobic workout at the same time, this could become your favorite tape! --Joan Price

Kathy Smith - Functionally Fit - Lower Body Firming

Kathy Smith's 30-minute Functionally Fit: Lower Body Firming video is a sculpting and toning workout for all fitness levels targeted to shape the hips, buns, and thighs. Smith's "fitness made easy" philosophy features functional movements from everyday life. Groups of muscles are trained in an integrated lower-body workout to distribute the effort naturally--as opposed to isolating one muscle at a time. You get great benefits--fast and easy total lower-body strengthening and sculpting, and natural shaping of the hips, buns, and thighs from balanced movements in everyday life--and all with safe, easy-to-follow directions. And no exercise equipment is needed. An active 5-minute warm-up precedes Smith's two powerful 10-minute lower-body workouts. You can do them separately for variety or back-to-back for a definite challenge. (A note for beginners: videotaped exercisers demonstrate modified moves throughout.) You will love Smith's endless variety of squats, pliés, and lunges; her encouraging you-can-do-it approach; and her no-nonsense, simple, yet highly effective moves. A 5-minute cool-down stretches lower-body muscles to safely complete the 30-minute workout. --Christine Aiken
