Kathy Smith: Lift Weights to Lose Weight

Weightlifting is often espoused by doctors as a key to longevity. In addition to building muscle mass (critically important for women as they age), a barbell workout also burns fat. Kathy Smith put together a two-part routine meant for anyone in Time Saver: Lift Weights to Lose Weight. Each set of exercises is only 20 minutes and can be done separately or together for a harder workout. Smith promises to surpass "weight loss plateaus" with her simple motions. During the lessons, Smith keeps her instructions short and precise, leaving plenty of time for actual movements. While those targeting more specific body areas might find this video limited, it seems a favorite of beginning weightlifters.
