Certified instructor description: Non-stop upper-body punches and lower-body "fast feet" exercises; this is "boxing," not kickboxing. You get the energy and effectiveness of a real boxers' workout -- burning fat, boosting endurance and building coordination. The upper-body segments feature fast-paced boxing basics like jabs, uppercuts, hooks and crosses. The lower-body sections emphasize fast-feet exercises -- small, high-impact jumps on the balls of your feet (surprisingly tough, and great for agility and stamina). All these movements are blended together in the combo segments. The ending floorwork is also boxer-specific; it's designed to build rock-hard, punch-resistant abs. DVD has a bonus, 18-minute heavy bag workout. 5 lb. dumbbells are used in the toning; weighted gloves are optional. Note: MMA means mixed martial arts. ©2009. DVD has: Chapter menus, Narrow screen.

Cathe Friedrich's MMA Boxing

lots of fun
I have done lots of kickboxing, but have never purchased a boxing DVD. I bought this entire series and have been working though each one (fun!). This was different than I expected, but I found myself actually having fun doing it and was sore the next day! Since I work out early in the AM, I also really liked the shorter length of all the workouts in this series. Cathe is such a pro...love her! - posted by tammy on 2/25/2011

A Solid Routine..Plenty of Cardio
I had no idea how challenging it would be to jump around two criss-crossed dog leashes..that's what I used for the cardio portion instead of jump ropes. The boxing combinations are simple so you can really max out on power, not style. I used 1 lb weighted gloves to make it even more challenging. The cardio portions were tough! Lots of jumping. And the ab routine at the end wasn't easy either. Happy with this purchase. I will alternate this one with MMA Kickboxing, another winner. - posted by Diane on 2/19/2011

MMA Kickboxing
I was a little disappointed. Cathe's video's are usually really tough - this was a little on the fluffy side! - posted by Trish on 12/16/2010

great sweatbox
I really enjoyed the different types of routines that this workout incorporated. I have a bad knee so the intensity for the upper body is perfect for me. - posted by michelle on 11/16/2010

Not What I Expected
This video is not what I expected. The warm up lasted longer than any warm up I have ever done. The boxing portion was not very challenging. The core was challenging, however it is not something I was looking for in a workout. Perhaps I should have looked into the other reviews before purchasing, because I ended up sending this back. I have purchased a few other Cathe videos, and really liked them. This one was just not the right one for me. - posted by April on 10/23/2010

this is boxing
I should have paid more attention when I ordered this one. It is basically drills, which has its place, but I am not always very fond of. If I do this workout with someone it would be more fun for me than doing it alone. I am keeping it for my dh and ds. I do look forward to doing the bag workout at the gym. - posted by Deborah on 10/22/2010

Good boxing!
I've been in boxing class for several years now and so this one was a good one. It's not my absolute favorite Cathe w/out but it's good. I could follow her moves but they might be a little quick for someone new to boxing. I did the main workout but not the bonus with the punching bag. It looks like fun, though, and I'll definitely try it out in the future. This is a good, solid workout and the time goes fast! - posted by Ann on 10/21/2010

great workout!
I was a bit intimidated to try this, but I'm so glad I did! Cathe does a great job of guiding you through the combos, which are challenging but fun. This works your upper and lower body and the really keeps your heart pumping. I look forward to getting home to do this one! - posted by Gerry on 10/21/2010

Not Exactly A TKO
Nicely choreographed and good production. It did, however, seem more like an intermediate level routine because other than the short "Hiit" cardio section, it wasn't as intense as advertised. The bonus heavy bag section is where you really get the cardio, but how many people have that piece of equipment?!! I don't. Had to improvise just to get some benefit. - posted by Cathy N. on 9/4/2010

Really Like It, but not my Favorite Cathe DVD
I am a fitness instructor and I enjoy the advanced Cathe workouts. I found this one a little repetitious. I definitely worked up a sweat, but would have liked to see more kicks instead of cardio via jumps. Loved the AB workout, though! Still a keeper! - posted by Donna on 9/3/2010

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.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

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.
