Health and fitness experts are exhorting us to incorporate weight training into our fitness programs--it's especially important for women for building bone density, but the truth is that working with weights increases your metabolism (are you listening? this means more fat-burning) all day. As with the cardio workout, Smith has designed two 20-minute workouts; on hectic days, doing the first alone is plenty, and on other days doing both programs will combine to help you see fast results. The movements are basic (including the all-important single-arm rows, key to building back muscles and keeping posture correct), and the delivery inviting and completely unintimidating. If you've been thinking of beginning a weight program, this (and a couple of sets of inexpensive hand weights) is really all you need to get started.

Lift Weights To Lose Weight -Vol 1.......2007-08-25
I have been using this tape for years. When it broke, I bought the DVD. I really like the upper body workout on this DVD. Twice a week for 20 minutes and my arms really look great. I feel great too! It offers two programs, one harder than the other and you can choose the right one for your level.
I also purchased the Lift Weights To Lose Weight Volume 2 recently. The upper body portion is much harder and more complicated, but my arms do look amazing when I use it. I alternate between both volumes now.
If you are only buying one, get Volume 1. I recommend this DVD for beginners as well as advanced exercisers because you control how hard you want to work by adding more weight or by doing the harder program.
Well Done.......2007-06-27
Great workout, well organized, good for advanced beginners and intermediates. Beginners can also start with this, just take it easy at first.
Good basic weighted workout.......2007-06-02
Before I discovered Karen Voight's Great Weighted Workout, I considered this my go-to video for strength training. It's still a good basic weighted workout for days when I'm strapped for time or don't want to sweat too much.
Great workout!.......2007-05-30
This workout hits about every spot on the body. The video is not very flashy, but it's easy to follow and she makes sure you do the exercises properly. If you are short on time, you can just work on one part of your body. If you have an hour, you can go through the whole thing. I'm doing this workout about once or twice a week, and I've seen a lot of improvement.
Definetly recommend to people who want to lose weight.......2007-05-24
I'm not one to go to the gym, or in some great shape by any means. But I know that lifting weights is the way to burn fat. And that is what I was looking for when I purchased this DVD.The DVD is easy enought for a beginner like myself and also shows a more advanced version also. I like the fact that there is a upper body and a lower body, which are separate. So if you dont have the time to do both, you can get one done in 20 minutes. It took me a couple of times to get the moves.. but I did, I definetly recommend it.

Bought this because her step workout is one of the best exercise DVD's I have but this one I had to give away - her shrill, scream-y voice just made my skin crawl.

I like this video for lightweight workout. It really works all the muscle groups well and I like that it has segments so that you can pick shorter workouts if you have a time problem.

Kathy Smith-Lift Weights to Lose Weight.......2007-05-12
This is a great workout for people who want to strengthen muscles and tone up. I would say it's for beginning - intermediate levels. Kathy Smith sets a great example for everyone. Also, Amazon.com is a great place to shop online!
Great workout.......2007-03-25
I bought this and volume 1, and I love them both. It's a 40 minute full body workout or two 20 minute (upper and lower body) workouts. I like lifting and having instruction from Kathy, makes me try harder, than when I lift on my own. She keeps you moving, so it raises your heart rate too.

Description
Lift is the story of an intelligent, young, African-American woman who works at an upscale department store, but sidelines as one of Boston's most accomplished "boosters" or shoplifters. This stylish drama illustrates the effects that materialism has on a dysfunctional black family and was awarded the Grand Jury Prize at the 2001 Urbanworld Festival, nominated for two 2002 Independent Spirit Awards, and received critical acclaim at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. From the producers of Boys Don't Cry and You Can Count On Me
Customer Reviews:
WOW..........2007-02-28
This one is like watching a home video of someone you know personally. Although I don't agree with (or condone) much of what Niecy does, I can most definitely understand her making the decisions she made. Just watching the relationship between her and her mother made things easier to relate to.
Often times, it's the very same people that hold you to unobtainable standards, that push you to do emorale and/or illegal things in the first place. It's the unspoken words that sometimes hold the heaviest weight.
Without giving away any plot destroying information, I would like to say that this film proves that there are those out there on the wrong path that can, and will be able to turn their lives around for the better...
As always, Kerry Washington gives a brilliant performance.
I highly recommend this film...
Great flick!!!! .......2007-01-03
All the cast did their thing! I also noticed that some Bosyon Hip Hop artists were in there like Beyonder and DL! That was hot!
Kerry Washington, that's my baby.......2005-12-07
If I never see another film, my thirst for sincere and captivating performances will be quenched by the shining Ms. Washington and the amazing Barbara Montgomery. This film, despite its rather gloomy setting, is eventually all about redemption and hope. The stories of those in Lift are noble, real narratives about love, courage, and transformations. I loved seeing Kerry Washington running so fast in this movie and she was pregnant and not wearing running shoes.
Love, theft, and the choices that make or break a life........2004-02-17
Just like life, every character in this movie has flaws... including the intelligent and clean-cut main character who's shoplifting big-ticket items even though she has a nice job. Her mother requests an expensive necklace, which will require a jewelry store heist to acquire. She decides to go ahead with the robbery, although her boyfriend begs her not to do it. To complicate things, she then learns that she is pregnant. Is she willing to risk everything to please her selfish mother? This movie gets into the psyche of each character, which is really the reason I loved watching it. It's not about stealing as much as it is about family, forgiveness and love.
I LOVED IT!.......2003-09-16
I THINK THIS IS A GOOD MOVIE!
IT IS ALSO SAD WHEN, THAT HAPPENS TO THE BOYFRIEND!
THIS IS A GREAT BET MOVIE!
I GIVE IT FIVE STARS!

my daily routine.......2007-06-19
I really love this workout DVD. I use it 3-4 times a week. I like the fact that you can design your own workout by pre-choosing what will play. I enjoy doing this and it is not a chore. I would definatly recommend it for anyone wanting to do weight lifting.
Great DVD!.......2007-01-19
I am really enjoying this DVD! I'm one of those people who buy exercise videos and never use them. I think I will use this one a lot. It is mostly weights so you can get results without all of the jumping around. I have had it about a month and I am feeling MUCH stronger and firmer. It's simple to follow and you can increase weight as you feel ready.
Satisfied customer.......2007-01-15
The DVD workout lived up to all I had read and heard. I now need to use it and get the results I am looking for in terms of personal fitness. I do not feel intimidated by it, although it will push me as a beginner. Try it yourself and you will agree, I believe.
A good program when you are short on time.......2007-01-11
This is using different techiques then with her first weight lifting series. She uses the core a lot more in this series which may seem easier but is still a great workout for your body. She gives great cueing through out and this is a great addition to anyone's collection.
T.D. in Philadelphia PA.......2007-01-11
This DVD is very challenging. You will definitely work up a good sweat. I really like it and am happy I purchased it!

"WHEN THE BEAR GROWLS; THE EAGLE WILL FLY AWAY...NO WAY, FRAULEIN"..........2007-04-08
This is a gem of a movie about the courageous Berlin Airlift during 1948-1949 by the [American] Military Air Transport Command...Alfred Newman's uplifting music sets you up immediately and it is heard throughout the film...it has a different twist of characters as a multitude of United States Air Force personnel perform real life roles like professional thespians ; beyond that the theme, sights and the tenor of the times illuminate among the ghastly ruins of a defeated Nazi Germany...the principle cast: Montgomery Clift-Paul Douglas-Cornell Borchers-Bruni Lobel and O. E. Hasse [the latter 3 are all excellent German performers] all are very convincing in postwar deprivations that cast a very somber tableau of what happens when a country losses a war...in between all this, there is a moral to this picure show...a basic human moral that is reserved for the ending...I'm sure you'll get alot out of "The Big Lift"...God bless all of our US Air Force who perservered to bring, "Operation Vittles" to a glorious conclusion against persistent and negative Russian interference....how can you go wrong for $0.01??.....SSGT CHRIS SARNO-USMC FMF
Problems.......2006-11-10
I received the first copy and found a defect. At approximately one hour and a minute or so the picture disappeared and was replaced with a color pattern such as found when the station checks the color. After I fast forwarded it till the picture continued. At that point I rewound it till I was close the that place where it stopped and found that the defective area wss about a minute long. I asked for and received a second copy and found the same problem. Apparently the problem may be in an entire lot that was purchased. I plan on asking a freind to try on another machine, and if the condition is still there I will return the two copies that I received.
Overlong but oddly compelling historical drama.......2006-05-04
The most interesting aspect of this little-known film is that it is a time capsule of the actual events surrounding the American Post War effort to assist war torn Germans. Clift delivers a top notch and earnest performance, with Paul Douglas turning in an energetic supporting part. A corny and overlong soap opera plot interweaves real news footage and utilizes real locations. Real military personnel appear in the bit parts. It is Clift's deft work, amid the true-to-life presentations that make this a noteworthy and watchable movie for history buffs. A special feature would have been nice to further explore this period in US history.
What a fine, undiscovered film this is. Post-war Germany as a background........2005-08-31
The 'Big Lift' is about the famous post-war Berlin Airlift. It is photographed quite nicely with dramatic shots of the landing aircraft skimming over apartment houses as they land. Montgomery Clift is terrific as a sensitive American Pilot dealing with life and his love for a beautiful, scheming German woman in post-war devastated Germany. Paul Douglas as a gruff, Technical Sargeant who wants nothing to do with the Germans is excellent. He has a fairly interesting running dialogue with his German girlfriend about "what this democracy business is all about." Cornell Borchers is quite fetching as the object of Clift's attention. Saw this movie on AMC the other morning and I was shocked by how good it was, I had never heard of 'The Big Lift', and I pride myself on knowing a lot about films.-------Besides the fine script and acting, what is riviting about this film is the setting. This film was shot in Germany (mainly Berlin) in 1949. It is really something to see the destruction of this great city from ground level, it's a interesting film just to watch the background scenery. Much like 'The Third Man' is made a better movie by filming in the real post-war Vienna, this film as well is made much more intesting by its location. Truly an undiscovered gem.
Another marvelous Monty movie..........2004-12-16
Having had a crush on Montgomery Clift since my teens, I have seen every movie he made during his short life. My favorite is Red River, but The Big Lift has just entered my heart. Monty is such the romantic. With his dark hair, thin frame, and piercing eyes he makes you want to hug and protect him.
He is vulnerable in this film to a German woman looking to escape Berlin to be with her lover in St. Louis. She charms Monty into wanting to marry her and take her to the USA. In the end, when he discovers her affections are for another, he is crushed, as was I. You just don't take advantage of Monty that way! I was glad to see everyone turn their backs on her.
The military footage, plane sequences, and constant reiteration of the difference between Democray and Communism is to be expected as this is a wartime film. But the real story is about the deception of heart.

Lifts A+.......2007-06-27
Jeff Amsden has an honest approach to dance and lifts...his goal is to help us achieve these highlights, and so he lets us see every moment of the breakdown as well as the results of different timings. I appreciated his advance tips, and those of his carefully chosen partner, who is gorgeous. The breakdowns were clearly illustrated, and my students were able to re-create the lift combinations safely, with practice.
I own many lift videos, but Jeff's is the first one that actually illustrates the breakdown in a way that gives the viewer a path.
A+
Product Description
From back cover - In 1948, the Soviet Union blockades the Allies sectors of Berlin to bring the entire city under control. A semi-documentary about the resulting Berlin airlift gives way to stories of two fictitious US Air Force participants: Sgt. Hank Kowalski, whose hatred of Germans proves resistant to change, and Sgt. Jimmy McCullogh, whose pursuit of an attractive German war widow gives him a crash course in the seamy side of occupied Berlin.
