I almost never write reviews, but had to pipe up for this one. I actually found it strangely soothing and pleasant even as I broke a sweat. If there's one video I *will* be able to make myself do after a stressful day, this is it. It was fun and light (i.e. no 'drill sergent' or 'punishment' vibe) and yet I still got a workout in. I'd say this is like the "French women don't get fat" of workout DVDs; meaning: it might not be the most intense, and it might seem too simple at first, but it's based on actually enjoying what you're doing and feeling good about your body -- so I feel like I'm more likely to stick with it. Personally, I find positive motivation works best for me. Kim has a great body, but she looks like a real woman and clearly exercises like a real woman (i.e. not perfectly).
For background: I have never watched the Kardashians or followed them. I bought the DVD after reading reviews and wanting to try something different (that and there are few 'butt' specific dvds). I am a professional career woman trying to tone up a little more after realizing that although I am a healthy weight and a runner, nonetheless my thirties were not being kind. As someone who has few curves to begin with, I am hoping Kim's 'pro-curves' workouts keep or improve what I do have. I will update later.
I particularly like that the video wasn't 'over-stimulating' in terms of visuals and music. I actually learned a lot of improved technique because you're only watching two people interact against a fairly neutral backdrop and the trainer is correcting Kim's mistakes. The zoom in on things like Kim's lower back position was also clearer than anything I had seen in another video (I almost wonder if her curves didn't help illustrate/exaggerate when she got it right or wrong -- i.e. you can really see when she tucks her tailbone or pulls in her belly). The moves were simple, but if, like me, you're not a natural at aerobic combos, you might enjoy it. Other videos have a lot of people, a lot of complicated movement, harsh lighting and sort of 'loud' scenery and that can be just 'too much' for me. I *loved* the 'Parisian apartment' set just because it put me a relaxed mental state. It kind of reminded me of doing yoga -- i.e. things are pretty and relaxing and relatively non-confrontational, but unlike some yoga videos there didn't seem a 'perfectionist' or 'too serious' attitude. Kim's outfits were a little different, but between that and the make-up, I kind of felt like I was flipping through vogue while getting my pedicure -- it was visually interesting and I'd rather be thinking about whether I like her eyeliner than how I hate sweating so much.
Some people complain about Kim and yes she has a few vacuous ("I must not mess up my lipstick by closing my mouth!") facial expressions and unimpressive comments, but I actually felt, to my own intense surprise, like she was a fun friend who was suffering right alongside me through the workout. She comes across as nice and real. I felt like time really flew by. Also, the 'bonus' workout seems PERFECT for someone like me who travels a lot and needs a few very very simple moves.
If you're already big into workout DVDs or are good at doing triple grapevines in aerobics or you like 'in your face' and 'no-pain, no-gain' coaching styles, this might not be for you. But, if, like me, you need something 'different' than the usual style, you might enjoy this.

Kim-me This DVD for a Solid Work-Out
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 13. Mai 2009
When Kim Kardashian released her work-out series, I knew I had to buy it; first, because I'm enamored of the Kardashian family--they love fashion and work in the field (jealous), they have a Brady-Bunch family that seems very loving and they makes lots of $ and are very successful and they're all gorgeous Hollywood-ites. Plus, I'm a DVD-fitness-aholic and own and stay in shape with 100+ videos.
This DVD starts with an idle warm-up-some simple stretching and begins 2 segments of arm work with short and infrequent cardio bursts--plus, some floor core work (nothing too impressive or new) and while Kim is engaging, her attitude and demeanor with the trainer is a little sour (she might not like working-out as much as say, Renee Zellweger) but her overall energy and enthusiasm is pretty palatable. I did work up a sweat and had sore arms for a few days but the DVD seemed to lack a real tight flow--there were many moments that slowed or stalled the pace. Kim's trainer often defers to Kim which is quite funny as it's like the ghostwriter of a book deferring to the "author" to make a comment on the book content---the trainer should take the helm and let Kim serve as eye-candy as Kim herself admits on the DVD to having a "limited and lazy" approach to fitness in the past.
Comparing the DVD to Kim's wardrobe: it lacks the true spunk, originality and fierceness as her fun and fabulous frocks but remains eye-catching, charming and overall pretty decent for a celebrity fitness DVD routine (intermediate recommended).

lost weight fast
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 6. Juni 2009
I bought the K K work out and I love it. Just a background i used to be very fit. Worked out everyday, had a personal trainer ate healthy, blah blah blah.. But now I eat real mexican tacos, and got lazy. Honestly I was never overweight at all but now i have gained a few pounds around my stomach and butt. Its nice to have a bigger butt but who wants a flabby butt with a flabby stomach!? So I decided to buy something that was going to get me to sweat like how my body was once used to. I love that this work out incorporates pilates, boot camp work outs, and stretches. I purchased the abs and butt scupt. I really wanted to loose a couple inches fast so maybe i took it too hard the first day but i did both videos including the bonus! My sisters and i were so sore the way we used to feel when we had a trainer. But i had to slow down cause i wanted to have some consistancy and not get so worked up that i never do the work out again. Well now i do the work at least once a week and if i have time go running. Its easy because i dont do the whole entire video unless I am really REALLY up for it. The sections are short but challenging so dont over do it. I honestly dont do the work out every day because it made me loose weight really fast and I dont want to loose all of my curves but, if you have a little more cushion than you want I suggest work out hard but PACE YOURSELF. I'm sure if you do it more often than me you'll loose weight faster than I did. -M.Garcia, 23

NOVICE = NO ADMISSION HERE!
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 3. Mai 2009
Okay, I'm hot and fresh off the Kim Kardashian: Fit In Your Jeans by Friday: Amazing Abs Body Sculpt, and let me tell ya - it's not for the squemish! No novices or severely overweight sculptors allowed. Although physically active for many years, a recent illness skyrocketed me to 216 lbs! Doing this DVD at 216 lbs. was an extreme challenge, but it felt great!
I would NOT recommend it if you are totally new to exercise. DOWNSIDES: The unnessarily long face shots of Kim are a bit annoying if you're here to exercise and not stare at Kim. I only gave it 3 stars because neither the trainer or Kim lead you smoothly into the next exercise; they jump from one to the next before announcing the switch. Kim also tended to "relax" at times she should have been on top of her game. She's her usual self with the whining and "baby talk." I'm not hating - I like Kim! I just have a low tolerance for a grown woman acting that way, especially if she's supposed to be "training" me.
All in all, I would recommend it if you're semi-fit and do not have a lot of weight to hit the floor, jump in the air, hit the floor, jump in the air...you get the point. Great workout, fresh moves, but be forewarned.

FEEL THE BURN BABY!!
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 30. Juni 2012
I am by no means a Kardashian fan,but I have to admit that this workout rocks. I had been looking for a good workout video to do at home since I cannot get myself to go to the gym as often as I should, and decided to get the Fit in Your Jeans by Friday videos based on the good reviews they have gotten, and started with the Butt Body Sculpt. I have to say that all the positive reviews are not based on a bias towards Kim at all. The warm up is good and the actual workouts are amazing, my whole lower body was feeling the burn and was sweating like crazy (something that rarely ever happens to me. The cuing is a little weird and there are times where one finds Kims face being on the screen for a little too long but that does not take away from the workout, at least for me. I had thought that Kim would be annoying, but she was actually not that bad and it did feel like she was in as much pain as I was. The trainer is great and created an awesome routine. For those people saying that the workout was too easy and did not sweat, I do not know what it was you were doing wrong. For those saying that it was too hard, just take it easy since it is not for the faint hearted.
