This review is from: Kelly Coffey-Meyer's 30-Minutes to Fitness Kickboxing DVD
Kelly's 30 Minutes format is a winner. In all the workouts she has made in her 30 Minute series, she includes two main 30 minute workouts, the option to do both 30 minute workouts back to back, as a long and tough one hour workout, bonus material and many versatile premixes.
Both kickbox workouts on this DVD have short routines or drills that you do for a couple of minutes before moving on to the next. So nothing seems repeated for too long. Coupled with the superb music, time flies. The kickbox choreo is fresh and not tricky (particularly if you do the tutorial) and a whole lot of fun. The intensity is great for high intermediate to advanced exercisers but without being "test the very boundaries of your limits" tough.
I find that too-fast kickbox workouts do not allow an emphasis on form and end up becoming hi/lo. The uniqueness of kickboxing for cardio in my opinion should be from throwing punches with the rotational force of the whole upper body and kicking from the power of a lunge or squat. When the pace is too fast there isn't enough time for the whole range of motion of a "real" punch or kick. The pacing in this workout is perfect.
The bonus kick -box themed abs/obliques work on this DVD is my current favorite abs/waist routine. Kelly is at her creative best.
