Kelly's new dvd

[Chomper]

I am in. Most of the Tabata style workouts I have are pure cardio. So this is different enough to be worth getting. And again it looks like it takes very little space and gets a lot done in a short time. My favorite things about Kelly workouts!

I like Trim Down. I will pass on this one though. To much for my bad low back. I have to say, I do miss the background exercisers. Even though Kelly gives modifications, it helps when there is someone actually doing them.

I was wondering if Trim Down was a Greg production and it is as well as Shape Up. I was curious because it didn't look like Greg's workout space not because it was low production. I don't feel that Kelly's latest offerings are low production quality.

The set seems dark and like a run down room where she has hung posters. It not a professional set like Cathe or Greg's own filming studio.

I have Trim Down and like the set. It's uncluttered and not distracting in any way. I miss the background exercisers though but Kelly is GREAT by herself.

I have Trim Down and have to say, I do not miss the background exercisers. Not that I dislike them, but it is a refreshing change to have Kelly all to my self, so to speak.

The set is bright. And a less expensive production does not necessarily equal "low quality". The quality on these is fine, not low.

I'm still getting it even though I have some of the same issues that others have mentioned

1. I also wonder what's up with the set on these last two workouts. It's not terrible and I don't mind it, I just wonder why the change. I certainly get just as good a workout with Trim Down as with Plateau Buster, Body Shop or any of the prettier videos. Just one person in the video means less schedule coordination and less rehearsal, which I assume gets the video shot faster.

2. Kelly does have an...interesting way of lifting sometimes. I just maintain my form and technique and occasionally ignore her. I've had to do that on MANY occasions when I've tried a class at a new gym and been astonished that the person bouncing all over the bike or slinging weights all over the room was really the instructor.

I used to love Kimberly Spreen's kickboxing workouts, but once I started doing Powerstrike and Rapid Fire, I realized how weak her form is sometimes. I had to give up Tracey Staehle's kickboxing altogether for the same reason. I couldn't even look at it any more. I still like Kimberly's choreography, but often find myself concentrating on not looking like her during the workout.

3. I have stuff going on with both knees, one foot and one ankle, so I have to seriously ration my high-impact work. I'll definitely be modifying some things, (but not so much that I feel like I practically had to re-write the whole workout) and I'll probably skip using the step for the cardio at least the first time I do it.

Also, I really like this "Hi, everybody. Here's a new workout" method. I've been working out anywhere from 50% to 100% with videos for about 13 years now and I'm worn out from all the systems, packages, bundles, presales, pre-presales, announcements about previews, announcements about prices, announcements about announcements... Just tell me when it's done!
