Cathe Friedrich's Kick Max |
  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 |

| Advanced workout with uncomplicated moves |
| I compared this with Amy's Kickbox Xtreme and much prefer Cathe's DVD--I felt it offers a more hardcore workout. I consider myself an advanced exerciser, and this DVD had me working very hard. I certainly felt it the next day! The cuing was very good and I didn't feel frustrated, unlike with Amy's DVD. Whomever said this DVD was "low energy" was obviously not following the cuing! - posted by Amanda on 3/15/2008 |

| Dissapointed |
| I love kickboxing and love Cathe for her intensity and advanced workouts. I had high hopes for Kick Max and it was a dissapointment. I am used to doing Turbo Jam and kickboxing classes at my gym, and Cathe's Kick Max was a slow, low-energy kickbox workout. The blast intervals were good, but were the similar to what you would find in her other workouts. - posted by Kendra on 2/23/2008 |

| Concentrate! |
| I have both this workout and Amy Bento's kickbox Xtreme - I agree with previous reviewers that Amy Bento's is more cardio intense, varied, and interesting, but this workout - with its slower pace and increased reps allows concentration on form and execution...Amy leaves me winded and sweaty; Cathe leaves my muscles fatigued. Plus, for those new to kickboxing, this workout is MUCH easier to follow. - posted by Melissa on 2/18/2008 |

| Excellent |
| this workout is excellent for weight loss and toning!!! i lost the last 15 lbs that i thought would never come off after 4 babies in less then a month. it is challenging but fun and easy to follow. the only downfall would be if you have bad knees from all the jumping around in the blast challenge. - posted by Coral on 2/13/2008 |
