Description:
Now it’s easy to lift weights, do low-impact cardio and practice yoga with this personalized cross-training program mapped out for your whole week.

With the convenience of this daily schedule, you’ll have no excuse to skip your workouts and you’ll never work the same muscles two days in a row.
Amazon.com:
This half-hour-a-day, weeklong exercise program is rigorous but repetitive. Exercise expert Karen Voight has devised a workout plan for Monday through Sunday, mixing up cardio, strength training, and yoga, and allowing the different muscles to rest in between. So on Monday viewers start with the cardio/lower-body work segment, on Tuesday move on to yoga and overall strength training. However, Wednesday is a repeat of Monday's cardio segment, Thursday duplicates earlier strength training routines, etc. Voight's moves are fresh: she adds a dash of ballet from her dancing days, employs yoga's underused upward dog, and pushes balancing exercises. Intermediate and advanced exercisers will work up a sweat but might quickly grow bored of reruns. However, viewers won't tire of Voight's calm but friendly approach; she inspires while avoiding the false cheerleading used by so many instructors. Equipment needed: yoga mat and blocks, 5- to 8-pound weights, and an exercise band. --Kimberly Heinrichs
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - good variety
This DVD provides a good variety of workouts. I love the upper body workout and the cardios.
Rating:  - Good Beginner workout
I gave "Sleek Physique" three stars, becuase I personally didn't find it very challenging. I hardly broke a sweat with the cardio sections, and the strength training sections barely gave me any sort of burn in my legs or arms. This DVD, however, would be a good beginner workout because Karen does give good cues and explains each exercise move. There is a little bit of cordination and balance required. For example, in the lower body strength section, you do back leg raises standing up with some ballet ... Read More
Rating: - Karen is simply the best
This DVD is the best bargain in fitness.It includes a great variety of exercise types (aerobics, yoga, weight training & abs), all with Karen's superb instruction.Be warned that this is a remix of previously released workouts, so if you already have an extensive library of Karen's DVDs, you may already have everything on this one.Even so, it's a must-have for people who take their workouts on the road -- you only need to bring 1 DVD. Many thanks to reviewer Rebecca Johnson, whose extensive description ... Read More
Rating: - Nice for variety
I really enjoy Karen Voight's workouts but would have to say that this one isn't among my favorites.There are seven 30-minute workouts (one for each day of the week) that target different areas - cardio, strength training, toning.Each workout is very well developed as you'd expect from Karen, but some of the days repeat routines so you're not really getting seven completely different workouts.That disappointed me a little.
I think this DVD would be excellent for someone just beginning to workout, ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent yoga segments!
I disagree with the others who dislike this video. I have Burn & Firm and actually like the sequencing on this DVD better. Yes, there is some repeat material, but all the yoga included is new and great! The Sunday stretching yoga is the best! It is a 30 min floor sequence and includes some very deep stretching with beautiful music by Shastro; very relaxing. All the workouts are fun and not too difficult for us over 40's crowd :o)
It is a similar workout setting as Burn & Firm and also BLT on the ball ... Read More
