Time graph for Cathe Friedrich's Kick Max

Superbly cued, it’s the toughest kickbox program ever. You get three distinct segments — do any segment for a targeted workout or all three for an “extreme challenge.” You’ll start with a well-sequenced, well-choreographed cycle of classic kickboxing moves (e.g. jabs and punches, kicks and shuffles). That’s followed by high-impact aerobic/anaerobic plyometrics (e.g. jumping jacks, air jacks, tuck jacks — Cathe seems to spend more time in the air than on the ground). Finally, you’ll totally fatigue those tired leg muscles with a series of kickbox toning exercises. The DVD’s “premix” feature also lets you do pre-selected, shorter versions of the workout. ©2005. DVD has: 4 premixes (48 to 58-min. alternate workouts), Chapter menus, Close captions.

Cathe Friedrich's Kick Max
LOVE THIS ONE
I rotate Kick Max into my routine regularly...when I norice a little weight gain - I guarantee it will come off after I do my Kick Max week - Thank you Cathe for your awesome workouts - You are truly one of my favorites & it seems like all of your workouts get the job done. - posted by DAPHNE on 9/17/2009

wowwww
i started doing kick max about a month ago and i love it. cathe is a wonderful trainer who knows how to make you perspire. i am not an advanced exerciser but the bigginner tapes are to boring for me and i wanted a challenge, and i got it. try this if you love pushing yourself. - posted by carol on 9/15/2009

Good solid kickbox
I have trained hard core in martial arts for nearly ten years. I love this DVD. It kicked my tail. If you don`t sweat you're not putting the power into it. You can make a workout easy or tough depending on how hard you are willing to work it. If you glide through a workout you will never get anything out of it. I really love the boot camp section. I worked it so hard I got sick! Thanks Cathe. - posted by Rose on 8/28/2009

Basic moved, solid advanced workout
I liked this one, because it is an advanced level workout and the choreography is not complex. I loved the fact that it not repetitive. You practice a few moves, and then move on to something new. My upper body was sore, in a good way, the next day. My only complaint was that the music didn't do anything for me - it's not high-energy and was a bit boring. - posted by Marianne on 7/31/2009

cardio blasts and leg conditioning are great!
I love Cathe, but her kickboxing segments felt like part of the warm up, not very challenging, did not get my heart rate up. The cardio blasts were very anaerobic and were very challenging as was the leg conditioning. I love the dvd for those 2 parts. For kickboxing, I like her kick, punch and crunch better. - posted by Cari on 3/24/2009

Love this workout
I am new to the advanced workouts and I love this one! The blast section kicks my butt and it is worth it! I also love the leg conditioning drills. - posted by Valerie on 1/31/2009

LOVE BEING ABLE TO CHANGE AROUND MY ROUTINES W/ DIFFERENT CHAPTERS
If I am working out in the morning before work I will do the warm up portion. In the evenings I will do a few chapters. If I really need to push my self I will do the whole shabang. If I back off from working out though, it is tough to do the whole work out. - posted by MARCIE on 1/12/2009

Burn Mega Calories!
This one is way better than Kick, Punch, Crunch for me! I love it. Seems like the time flies and you get toning along with great cardio. The leg drills are much harder than I imagined and very effective. Funnest way to get in shape! I have carpet and didn't find it to difficult to do the twisting moves. - posted by Loretta on 11/2/2008

Gotta String 'Em Together....
This workout is a bit better than some of her other kickboxing workouts, but the intensity just isn't there. Not only do I have to wear weighted gloves, I also string three of her kickboxing DVDs together and do the high intensity drills/blasts (Kick Max; Kick, Punch, & Crunch; and Cardio Kicks). It has rather uncomplicated choreography and would be good for beginners and some intermediates. - posted by Crystal on 5/29/2008

Not My Favorite from Cathe
I love Cathe and usually thoroughly enjoy each and every one of her workouts, but this was not one of my favorites. I really like Kick, Punch and Crunch and was hoping for more of the same but did not find it in this workout. This one seemed very slow, repetitious, and boring. I really didn't feel like my heartrate got up much during the "aerobic" portion either. Overall, just not a good fit for me. - posted by Shelley on 4/26/2008

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.
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.

Premixes

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

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

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.

Floor 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.
