Cathe Friedrich: Rockout Knockout Kickboxing Workout DVD For Women - Use For Aerobics Conditioning and Kickbox Cardio Fitness

This is another great workout from Cathe Friedrich. You will end up sweaty with this workout. I don't use any of the "equipment" that is "needed" for this workout and I still end up sweaty. The cueing is on par so you can easily follow the workout routine. There are four segments, in addition to the warm up and cool down. The first is a "true" cardio boxing, the second, which can use boxing gloves (I use a 1lb weight in each hand) for more of a cardio boxing session and the third is more of a "true" kickboxing workout. The fourth is the "bonus" segment and shows boxing bag, but you can do it without it. This workout is a great way to burn calories, build your stamina and sweat.

I'm a huge Cathe fan and have at least 30 of her DVDs. She's really excellent. However, this is not one of her best. The cueing is off at times. By the time you finally get the sequence she's off to another sequence. Sometimes she really over complicates kickboxing. I took kickboxing at a martial art facility for a few years. I guess she wants to keep it interesting. Once again, the music is too loud. This has been happening for awhile in the last few years. Great music but hard to hear her cueing. My hearing has been checked & it's normal. Boxing gloves are a great addition. I use them all the time. However, just buy the small 14 oz neoprene from Amazon. The ones she talks about are bulky. Can't use your heart monitor or IWatch with the gloves she recommends. Rock Um Sock UM is better. Any of the old TaeBo are better than this DVD.

Not the most difficult of workouts, but definitely a good one. Point of reference: I'm an Insanity and GSP Rushfit "graduate" (few times). I like the different segments in this video (with weighted gloves, without, etc). I agree with the other reviewer that my heart rate doesn't go way up with this, but using the weighted gloves does give my arms, shoulders, and back a great workout and that's equally important. Great for days when I don't want the high intensity of something like Rushfit but still want a good 60 minute workout that works my muscles and isn't just cardio.

great great workout low impact high energy for me morning workout. boxing moves are focused moves can be modified have 2 videos will purchase more she is engaging it is fitness for all levels.boxing

Unusual for Cathe, the music is fantastic, very motivating. This is a great way to get your stress beat!The workout consists of warm-up, cardio kickbox, boxing drills with big gloves and then combos.Warm-up, cardio kickbox, boxing drills = 30 minCombos = 20? (I haven't done them all yet)It is good, because if you only have 30 min you can get a kick-butt workout, or if you have more time you can add the combos.The combos take some coordination and time to learn, but this is good because it keeps you interested.Great, great workout

I love it! The music is the best music I've ever heard on a exercise dvd (I graduated 1985). There's 5 sections: warm up, cardio, with gloves which I would call more of a weight session, combos (not as much cardio), then yoga to cool down. When I first did the 2nd section, I didn't think I'd make it through the tape, but that is the hardest cardio. I'm definitely getting more of her dvds. This is my first one by Cathe.

This is a WORK OUT. I thought it would be more "easy"... NOT. But just good enough. Hit my stride and target heart rate within 7 minutes of the WARM UP. But, very gentle on the knees. I'm over 40 and my doctors have prescribed for hard core cardio but less jumping (it's hard on the knees). This combines strength and stress relief!

A great workout video from beginning to end. Been using it for two weeks and have lost about 5 pounds. The video has a segment on a punching bag which is great but just wish it had more routines.
