Laura, I did you 20 min KB core and liked it!
I'm a fan of less/more quiet music too. The only issue I had with the workout was there was no beep or timer to tell me when you were moving on to the next exercise, so I had to keep looking back at the screen more often than I would like. Overall I'm still very impressed though!

I prefer no music, but I may be in the minority. Maybe others can chime in with preference? I really liked the lower body workout. I'm not sure if it would be "worth" filming the same or a similar workout again. I guess instructors want to provide variety, but I don't mind having a few very similar workouts to rotate through, especially for workouts I like and want to repeat. |

I did the 20 Minute Full Body Dumbbell Strength Workout. I feel like it hit all the basics with traditional exercises. I liked the overview in the beginning, the included warm-up and cool-down, the countdown timer. The actual workout was about 15 minutes, plus the warm-up and cool-down- you did a lot in 18 minutes! I liked the length and the 45 seconds on/15 seconds off. I used 5 and 10 lbs. and kept going through a couple of the rests. I felt like I got a thorough workout, but I can also see going heavier on days I feel stronger. I plan to keep trying more videos.
Also, you reminded me of one of my aunts in this video. I don't get to see her often (it's been a few years, actually ) and it was nice to be reminded of her. That may be why I liked your friendly, calming vibe. |

Thank you. I appreciate that! I'm having fun learning something new. Editing takes forever, especially when I'm learning as I go. But I'm trying to get a little bit better each video.

Susan Powter Building Strength It is not trendy or the current style. What I love about it is a loooong warm-up, moderately paced exercises with lower reps. So, one could go heavier. Some workouts seem short, but I still have to add my own warm-up, cool-down and stretch, so it is still ends up being a 45-60 minute workout. I'm probably in the minority.

It’s funny. I’m aware of who Susan Powter is but I’d never seen her workouts before. I remember the infomercials she did and her personality is much calmer and encouraging in the workout. Thank you for the suggestion!

I just subscribed and look forward to doing your strength workouts! I am relegated to very low impact and seated or mat based workouts right now as I am nursing a foot issue. So hopefully soon!
