Best way to start in kick boxing My wife and I work with this video and we alternate with other two "old" Gillad videos and some weights. One day this video, the next weights and so on... We are not gym buffs. we just like this video so much that I actually broke the DVD one day, and the next we found it in the grocery store (that was a lot of luck for me) and we bought it again. Needless to say, we use it often. Great energy! Novices will be able to do either a 10-min segment or 2, or all 4. Good stuff!
Hmmm.... If you have never done kickboxing then this may go too fast. There is not a lot of demonstration time, and not enough warning on some of the "up next" moves. Great intensity. Gets your heart rate up - less than a minute warm up, less than a minute cool down. The core section is not that great (for you core). There are 3 10 minute workouts - legs, arms, and core.
Getting fit & loving it. Diana This is a good cardio workout. It goes fast with the 10 minute workouts broke into 4 parts with a countdown clock. I love the combination of 10-min body targeted upper, lower, core & the bonus both upper & lower. I do all four 10-minute workouts that includes the bonus workout to give me a really good workout that gets your heartrate up. I do the bonus 10-min upper & lower body workout 3rd and do the core workout last. Janis does a good job at prompting and explains each new step before taking you go into the actual routine. I have done Tae Bo and another Kickboxing cardio it might be helpful to have a previous kickboxing cardio that explains the actual movements of kickboxing. Other than that I recommend Cardio Kick. Janis is pleasant & a good instructor.
Challenging but fun! As a beginner at kickboxing, I found the DVD very challenging, but very fun. The instructor explains everything very clearly and I really liked that one of the two background dancers did a modified version for beginners. This gave me a chance to get used to kickboxing and not challenge myself as much physically the first couple of times through. The three routines combined provide a great workout! I am completely exhausted by the time I am done.
Excellent Kickboxing dvd 4 Quick workouts that are easy to follow. The abs section is kind of a waste.. I would recommend a different dvd for a good abs workout. The lower body sections will leave your legs hurting in places you don't normally work in a regular aerobics routine.
