VHS Movie Reviews of Kathy Smith's Kickboxing Workout [VHS]

Movie Review: Highly recommended to ANYONE!
Summary: 5 Stars

It can be used 3 times a week in place of dumbbells/strength training/gym sessions because it tones your upper, lower, and mid section. Plus it gets your heart rate pumping to count as a cardio workout too. Kill two birds with one stone! Kathy Smith isn't corny in this video, it's very very well cue'd, and you WILL feel like a real kickboxer in a couple weeks. I always tell people "I know kickboxing, don't mess with me!" and though I haven't tested it out, I know it's true.

The best part of this video is that just when you feel like giving up, the pace slows down just enough to make you say "okay, I'll just do the next section" because it gets a little easier, and then the level goes back up without you realizing it. By the time the video is finished, it leaves you feeling like "That was a PERFECT workout!" I lost 15 lbs baby weight (in 7 weeks!) when I first got this video 7 years ago in 2002, and I finally picked it back up this morning. I have 20lbs to lose this time around (3 kids later). I am so excited!!! The first session was difficult and I was very sweaty, and I'm a little sore (tomorrow will be very sore I'm sure) but I know it gets easier the second week, about the 5th or so time, when I get stronger.

Highly Recommended!!!!!

Movie Review: Really good workout.
Summary: 5 Stars

I've done a few different video workouts before and this one has been one of the top. I wish Billy Blanks from Tae Bo could keep count as efficiently. I won't go into what's covered in the DVD, you can find that in following reviews. I've been using this DVD for over a month now. It has been very challenging and the warm-up to me feels like it's just a part of the core workout. It definitely gets your heart rate up.

The first time I did this workout I couldn't even finish it all the way through, but now I've grown accustomed to the movements and have paced myself. A couple of weeks ago I found that although it was making me sweat I wasn't feeling challenged. I changed that by adding weights to the aerobic section. The movements are simple and easy to follow. I would put this workout at probably an intermediate level but for the beginners, if you need to slow it down, do the "active rest" which is a boxer's shuffle until you feel ready to jump back in. (Eat salads too - hint hint.)

Highly recommend.

Movie Review: A sweat all the time
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD is definately for those who want a break from the gym kickboxing workout. I still get my heart pumping and sweat alot from this DVD.

Movie Review: Great intermediate workout!
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a great workout for a moderate exerciser. It is highly energizing with easy-to-learn moves, little repetition, and a great mix of high intensity bursts followed by low intensity recovery. It is a nice length- it doesn't leave one wanting for more or exhausted. One can also get what they want from it. If you're feeling like a light day you can do the moves without much intensity. Conversely, you can grab a pair of light hand weights and go crazy! I have been doing kick-box aerobics for about 8 years and I'd say my fitness level is intermediate. I think this is a fun work out to mix in with a weekly routine.

Movie Review: A Good Workout
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a worthy addition to any home fitness collection. You begin to feel the burn during the warm-up! You can choose to play the DVD as a 45 minute beginner workout or as a 55 minute challenge. Note: The "challenge" is the 45 minute workout with some supplemental material tacked on the end. Kathy leads the initial 45 minute workout. The challenge material features Keith Cooke (a martial arts champion/expert who appears in numerous Hollywood movies, including Beverly Hills Ninja) demonstrating some very cool moves that you can follow along with. A nice cool-down stretch is included, as is a brief segment of "light toning" that contains moves that will help you put more power behind your kicks and stabilize your core muscles. Also present on the DVD is a short Tai-Chi inspired workout led by one of Kathy's back-up exercisers.

The only drawback is, in my own opinion, that sometimes you stand in place punching for too long. I cool down really fast and standing still punching for very long makes my heart rate creep below my training zone.

Summary of Kathy Smith's Kickboxing Workout [VHS]

Veteran aerobics instructor Kathy Smith jumps aboard the Tae-Bo bandwagon with her punchy video Kickboxing Workout and adds her own brand of California-girl pep to the popular martial-arts routine. Accompanied by martial-arts champ Keith Cooke, Smith presents a terrific, high-adrenaline workout, based on the punches, jabs, kicks, and squats that Tae-Bo lovers will recognize, with more polished production values and a more appealing music track. Smith and Cooke alternate leading the onscreen group and point out several low-impact alternative moves for beginners. The 45-minute workout is a great fat-burner, and those side kicks will shape those hips in no time. --Anne Hurley
