Certified instructor description:
Entirely kickboxing focused, it’s a comprehensive medley of intense aerobics, kickbox-specific muscle toning and extended stretches. You’ll achieve the endurance, strength, stability, balance (and mental toughness) of this booming fitness phenomenon. The cardio segment alternates jump-rope intervals with a series of fast-paced jabs, punches, shuffles and high kicks. The toning section features very challenging, very concentrated routines to shape your shoulders, upper back, buttocks and legs. Throughout, Keli’s cuing is excellent — she always tells you what you’re doing and why. Keli uses several rubber exercise devices; what’s actually required are 1 to 2 lb. dumbbells and a step (for the toning); a regular Dyna-Band and a jump rope would also be helpful. ©1999.

A Total Disappointment
I've had this video for a while. It isn't new but the techniques of kickboxing don't change much. This was my first kboxing video and was anxious to get to it. Unfortunately, I could never bring myself to enjoy this video. First of all, I was totally turned off my the headwear and outfit she had on. I chuckled when another reviewer thought she was ready to commit a burglary. The warm up was not a warm up but a series of bouncing and jumping rope!!! I didn't care for her presentation or moves and never got my heart rate up. Every kickboxing tape subsequent to this has been better. - posted by Sue Ellen on 6/29/2003

Why is it called kickbutt cardio combat
Was she getting ready to do a burglary - what's with the outfit Anyway, the production was terrible, there is hardly any kicking and she is boring as well. I was looking for an advanced kickboxing video and THIS IS NOT IT. - posted by Sylvie on 3/27/2003

Great Video
I thought this video was awesome. I used to go to a kickboxing class, and bought a Tae Bo video when I moved, but it just wasn't the same. This video was just right- not too dancy but an awesome workout. You can do the jump rope sections without a rope if you don't have space. The set and camera work isn't the best, but you feel so good when you finish that it doesn't matter. - posted by Kristin on 10/17/2002

needs less jumprope!
I love Keli, but this tape has way too much jumproping going on- it's tedious.And the bellhops and ski jumps kill my knees.I jog in place during the jumprope segments- which seems to work ok- but if you want kickboxing, you may want to try a different tape! - posted by karen on 9/9/2002

Needs more kickboxing & less jumprope
Keli is a favorite of mine, but I was disappointed in the emphasis on all the hopping and jump rope- it's monotonous and the ski jumps and bell hops really mess with my knees. I end up jogging in place through the jump rope sections, which seems to work ok.As far as a kickboxing tape, though, Kathi Smith's is a better choice. - posted by karen on 9/7/2002

Disappointment
I was looking forward to this tape to teach sports moves to my students and learn kickboxing myself from a professional. The classes I attended as a student were far more valuable. Keli's warm up consisted of jump rope techniques!! That was the bigges turn-off. I had to do my own warm up. As I proceeded, I couldn't get my heart rate up and lost interest. I never even made it to the toning part. I also found it boring and didn't care for her get-up. What was with the cap on her head? CIA highly recommended this tape, but they were off on this one. - posted by Susan on 6/10/2002

Didn't Like it
I thought it was just me. CIA was really promoting this tape and when it came in the mail, I couldnt wait to try it. The first disappointment was the warm-up. She was bouncing and jumping rope. Also, I didn't get my heart rate up like the other reviewer. I thought her outfit was off-putting, looked manly. I was hoping to learn some good moves, but didn't get much out of this video. - posted by Anna on 6/10/2002

Let-Down
I was looking forward to this work-out to perhaps teach my aerobics students something new. I had never taught kickboxing before and wanted to learn good form and technique. I was totally disappointed. Her warm-up consisted of jump roping and bouncing. I had trouble geting past those. I didn't really work up a sweat and didn't learn much. I didn't care for her presentation or the "look" of the video. - posted by Rita on 9/2/2001

Great!!
This is a great video!! I also use light weights when I do the punching sequences. (Really burns the shoulders!!) It definately get your heart rate up!! I do this video 3-4x per week!! Definately recommend it!! - posted by Rebecca on 6/4/2001

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Narrow screen

When played on a widescreen TV, this program will show black bars on the left and right sides. On an older 4x3 ratio TV, it will fill the entire screen.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Aerobics & Toning

Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
