Still the Best
I bought the 'Firm Arms and Abs' workout when it first came out in the early 90's. I just recently reordered it and 'Pure and Simple Stretch' on DVD. Karen Voight really does know her stuff. The workouts are very effective and because Voight is so good at what she does the exercises are not dated. The "arm and ab" program seems easy yet produces astonishing results. If you do the suggested 3 workouts a week you will start seeing a change at the end of two weeks.

This is great for beginners or those who are out of shape
I love this program. The exercises are very safe and Karen Voight does an excellent job of describing safety and good form while doing the exercises. I had the VHS of this and just "upgraded" the the DVD. I have done this program on and off for years.

I really appreciate the other reviews people have written for exercise programs. Keep up the good work.

She's amazing :-)
Karen is such a brilliant instructor and to me, she's one of the most motivating because she comes across as so encouraging and kind and cues so well that you end up giving it your all. I still love this workout and pull it out every now and then.
The upper body program is a little challenging, but when it comes to toning, you want challenging so you can see nice defined muscles. You do everything from curls and flies and then there's a great stretch. For the abs section, it's easy to follow and there is modifications that you can do as you do it more often and you get stronger at it. I like that because it's always giving you something to work towards.
You need weights and a step bench if you have one, and I think this is such a brilliant workout. I love doing it and it's all under 45 minutes. You will feel this the next day or two and see results fast if you do it regularly. I really like this and highly recommend it.
