Fat-Burning Kickboxing Workout for Dummies [DVD]

I've always wanted to learn kickboxing, but most DVDs are for intermediates, which often goes too fast and don't show you the basics. This DVD has a tutorial for the Top Ten Kickboxing moves. They include 1)Ring Moves, 2) Cross, 3) Hook, 4) Front Kick, 5) Sidekick, 6) Jab, 7) UpperCut, 8) Knee Thrust, 9) Back Kick, 10) Roundhouse. The beginner can take their time mastering these basic moves before going on the other 3 kickboxing exercises, which the viewer can choose. The beginner can also learn to do these moves right so that injuries can be avoided. Keli takes her time and shows you the proper way to move. This builds confidence and you won't feel like you'll fall behind when she goes a little quicker in her exercises. After buying this DVD, I can forget about the fast paste TAE BO DVD's, which seem to be for fit folks who like to look competitive. I highly recommend this DVD for anyone who wants to take their time learning kickboxing right.

If you don't have a gym nearby, this kickboxing DVD is worthwhile. The instructor, Kelly Roberts, explains and demonstrates basic and advanced kickboxing moves. Beginners to advanced kickboxers may find this DVD quite a good challenge. I tried the moves on a carpet the first time, but found it to be more useful if you do the moves on a hardwood floor. Having an intermediate level yoga background has helped me to hold many of the poses and moves much more effectively while doing this workout routine. It's a really good quality 40 minute workout that will leave you feeling like you burned some stress, calories, and fat. A bonus is that there is a separate 10 basic moves tutorial for beginners to get you started.Bottom line: get this DVD if you want to try kickboxing or to maintain a high charged, fast moving, fat burning workout at home.

I am a 49 year old women. I just started working out daily about 6 months ago. I have tried lot's of different workout DVD's to stay motivated. I LOVE this workout. I have done it about 5 times now. I have only gotten thru the training, warm-up and Fat burning #1 sections, but it is a GREAT workout. Very fun. I combine it with other videos because I am still learning the first few sections, which isn't enough for a full workout. But, if you can get thru all the sections it would be a complete workout. It is a really great stress reliever. I highly recommend this DVD. challenging, FUN, and gets results !

I've never done any kind of kickboxing before until this video. The 15 minute segment at the beginning which teaches you the proper way to do moves is crutial because she gets right into it during the workout. So definitely do not skip this step if you don't know punches and kicks. Once it gets going, it's fast paced but tons of fun! I was so proud of myself for getting through the series of moves she put together given I had never done anything like this before (and I consider myself moderately coordinated) which just is a testimony to her great instruction. I got a wonderful workout and felt it all over. I would highly recommend this video to anyone!

This one was good and I actually enjoyed it. Its motivating and fun and it teaches you a new method of working out. It's not for pros (hence the name for dummies you guys), its for people starting out like me. So, if you want to start up again after leaving working out for a while this is great for you. It's also great for providing a good wholesome workout.It's nice to learn this new sport, admittedly somewhat a limited education, and its great to take out some of your aggression! Overall a good buy.

I bought this because of FITNESS magazine's recommendation: The magazine claims that it would burn 700 calories for the workout. Not so. I probably burned 50. I was looking for a DVD that gave me a little more cardio, and thought this might do the trick. I didnt even break a sweat!I am extremely dissapointed in how easy the DVD is. There is nothing exciting or challenging about it!If you are a TRUE beginner, this may be for you, but I wouldnt recommend it to anyone with even a moderate amount of physical activity. How can FITNESS Magazine call this one of the Top 10 DVD's out there?

The DVD is what is markets itself to be, a Kick-boxing workout for Dummies.It is very basic and moves slowly. When it is done, you are left asking, "Is that it?"This is NOT a dvd for serious Kickboxing lovers. This is a good START though.One thing I didn't like was that the workout is void of excitement. There are no people in the background to amp up the energy and the woman leading tries to be exciting, but she is drole and plain.If my review is too harsh, I have to say in all fairness, it is "Fat-burning Kickboxing Workout for 'Dummies.'" Perhaps I didn't really know what that meant.I did feel a little burn in the morning so perhaps the "fat-burning" part is the real gold.

I never thought I could kick box, but this video is exactly right. I can follow the directions clearly and gradually I was able to do the movements. Kelly Roberts is demonstrates her moves clearly in the instruction chapter. I have been doing this for the past couple of weeks. Yes this is for the beginner to the moderate exerciser. Anything that can get you moving is great! Try it.
