Certified instructor description: Strong, powerful moves in a no-nonsense kickbox workout (never out of control, never just “throwing your arms around”). These exercises seem to have a real purpose: take down your attacker (like a true urban street fight). The combos are basic but varied — from simple jabs and kicks to high blocks and “knee smashes.” Amy cues as she goes — no slowing down to “teach” a move. In the first section, she uses weighted gloves to maximize the intensity. In the second, she uses a punching bag to mimic a real opponent (but her assistant shows no-bag options). It ends with a series of exceptionally deep, dumbbell-assisted stretches. Weighted gloves and dumbbells are optional. ©2008. DVD has: 3 premixes (41 to 90 min. alternate workouts), Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Amy Bento's Rumble

kicks butt
I love kickboxing and this does the trick. It's lots of combos, and it has a part in there where she uses a boxing bag. But, she does have someone do the moves without a bag. - posted by mary on 4/27/2012
Nice Suprise
Nice to find a workout that is a little bit easier for days days need it. Nice surprise. Recommend it. - posted by luli on 4/21/2012
Great! Easy choreography; Knee friendly
I liked this workout. It was a lot of upper body drills to get your heart pumping. I used weighted gloves and was able to get my HR up into the 150's. I liked this workout because unlike a lot of Amy's other dvds, the choreography was fairly basic. I also liked this work out because it is KNEE FRIENDLY. But, don't be fooled. You can still get your cardio in without all the jumping. You GET what you GIVE. The heavy bag workout was great too! - posted by Laura on 2/6/2011
So-so workout
The moves in the bag workout were not bad in themselves but the pace was very slow. This workout should be categorized as a Beginner or Beginner/Intermediate at best. - posted by Bobby on 11/12/2010
Outstanding!
Rumble is a breath of fresh air with its controlled punches and kicks and its easy-to-learn combinations. But easy-to-learn doesn't mean this is an easy workout. Focus on your form, and you'll get a great workout without having to kick and punch at breakneck speed. I rarely have time to do the entire DVD, so I'm very pleased with the different options provided in the premixes. Love, love, love the music, too. The stretch is challenging but doable as long as you stay true to your own limitations instead of forcing yourself beyond what's good for your body. Amy, if you're reading this, I'd preorder Rumble II in a heartbeat! - posted by emmy on 3/7/2009
Not really feeling this one...
I wasn't happy with this video. The warm-up 'melt' command was immensely unsafe, the back rolls up and down were way too fast. On the other hand, the coreography itself was too slow. I didn't like the 'Chinese boxing' - it seemed like filler to me. And the form and technique issues are never addressed. I didn't break a sweat with this workout. - posted by Alicia on 11/25/2008
I LOVE this workout
It is not a high intensity workout, but with 1.5lb weighted gloves I sure feel it. There is a lot of punching and kicking, and the pace is controlled enough so that form and strength can be the focus. I am drenched at the end of this workout, and it's certainly not from jumping around. I love the flexibility training at the end, and adore the music. I agree this is not great for people new to kickboxing as form is not explained. My only beefs are the half-asleep modifier, and the fact that form is almost never mentioned, let alone explained. Otherwise this would be a great workout for all levels. I add plyos to the round house and side kicks to add intensity. It would have been nice if there was a modifier showing that option, but anyone familiar with kickboxing will know how to intensify. - posted by Sam on 11/7/2008
Disappointing
I was so excited to finally have a workout for my bag, but I was very disappointed with this one. It wasn't necessarily bad but the background exerciser was barely trying and that drove me crazy. Also, the stretching was odd the way Amy would take a big breath and just flop forward real fast. This is not a dvd for newcomers to kickboxing. Punching at air and hitting a bag are very different and Amy doesn't explain how to properly deliver a punch on a bag, or for that matter give any other safety or execution instruction. The workout itself was ok but definitely not for me. - posted by Mary on 11/5/2008
low intensity
I would say this is an intermediate workout that does not border on advanced at all. I used weighted gloves to make it more intense. I was annoyed that there was cool down in the middle of the workout between the regular drills and bag drills. It wasn't intense enough to merit a break. The cueing was sparse but the choreography was basic -- at times to the point where the combos felt too long. I didn't care for the music but it's tolerable. The stretching section was different but not for me because I don't like to use weights for stretching. - posted by fitmom on 11/1/2008
Loved it!
I did Rumble with the heavy bag section for the first time today and loved it! I agree with the reviewers who said that the intensity in this workout comes from using your muscles, rather than going at warp speed; I certainly worked up a good sweat. Rumble goes at the perfect pace to allow you to really focus on your form, and Amy cues well throughout, particularly in the heavy bag section; my back was towards the DVD player during this bit but I didn't have any trouble following. Amy's personality really shines in this workout - I loved her "tough grrrl" comments and the tribal music, which has been going through my head all day (in a good way!) - posted by RedPanda on 10/19/2008

Reading a Time Graph
X
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.
sample time graph
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.

Premixes
X
These are alternate workouts created by the manufacturer. They use the same content as the main program (i.e. the very same video footage). But the sections are re-edited into pre-made alternative workouts that you select from a menu. These are often condensed versions of the main workout.
Chapter menus
X
You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
Wide screen
X
The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.
Level
X
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
X
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
X
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.
