Movie Reviews of Kickbox - Core Cross Train
Movie Review: plenty of lower body and core training....
Summary: 5 Stars
As I am always on the lookout for a new workout and instructors to motivate me I had my local library order this for me so I could take it for a test run. This one is definitely on my wish list now. Though some could find Patricia's style too chatty, I thought she had the perfect blend of motivation without constantly talking. She cues the moves well and has good form. The scenery is beautiful with red rocks in the background, shot in Snow Canyon, Utah. The music was fitting to the work-out in my opinion and had a good beat. I have done some Kickbox workouts before and I would say as far as challenging kickbox moves I'd say no, but challenging for my core and working my lower body....absolutely. If you are looking for an advanced "kickboxing" workout though, this may not be what you are looking for. The emphasis here is on cross training and your core.
The workout has several sections, punches (about 13 minutes),core training (about 25 minutes), kicks (about 18 minutes), Combo/Cooldown (9/5 minutes), and an additional bonus workout (about 14 minutes).
The first time I did the workout I did punches & core training and stretched on my own after (there is no extensive cool down until the last segment of the dvd, so I would recommend extra stretching on your own). The next day I did kicks, combo and the bonus. At the end of the week I tried all segments together, making an 80 minute plus workout.
I exercise daily, doing a variety of work-outs-Salsa, Aerobic, Tae-Bo, Yoga, Pilates, etc. and though I thought at first this wouldn't challenge me enough, I found the pace to be aerobic and though the moves weren't hard, the workout definitely kept my heart rate up and worked muscles that I obviously had not recently worked this hard. I most definitely felt my muscles even after a couple days after that first workout (core, butt, arms, and inner thigh).
One caution is to be careful while doing on carpet where you are pivoting you will need to be mindful of not twisting your knee.
In the bonus section, I would caution if you have wrist problems as this section is primarily variations of yoga's "plank" position (looks like the beginning of a push up). I am very familiar with plank as it is part of my yoga practice, but still felt her variations were challenging and will build strong and shapely arms (Who doesn't want that?).
Overall, an excellent workout. I would definitely purchase this item and will also be looking to try more of Patricia's dvds in the future.
