Certified instructor description:
A well-taught medley of high-intensity kickbox combos. It's a no-nonsense program created to blast calories while building strength and endurance (easy to follow but tough). Cathe begins each series with punches; then she adds in the kicks and finishes with fast-paced, punch/kick combinations (before starting over on the other side). Between each combo, you'll get kickbox-specific "burst" segments (explosive, high-impact cardio drills). The ab-toning section is also intense; it includes core-focused roll-ups, bicycles and push-up/planks (5 lb. dumbbells are used in this section). Note: MMA means mixed martial arts. ©2009.
