Cathe's Kick, Punch Crunch & Legs & Glutes |
 YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| This is the workout I have been searching for and have finally found it! It is a total body work out I think it even sharpens my mind. You execute so many moves in this workout and they are all intense. Cathe's cueing is perfect. She gives you a long and thorough warm up because you are going to have a long and thorough workout. She is so motivating. I love the way she really gets into the workout, she is serious about health and well being. She looks terrific! I love intense workouts so this one is definitely for me. I am 53 years old and have been working out consistently from the age of 25 years old. I am in good shape and love a full body challenging workout and that's what I get with this dvd. The ab section is awesome. I haven't as of yet mastered the plank on the stability ball so I do the modified version with the knees drawn into the chest ... which is very effective in its self. I highly recommend this dvd if you like to sweat and if you like a serious challenge. - posted by Diane on 6/8/2009 |

 Not that great |
| I bought this dvd after alot of good things I heard about Cathe. Unfourtnately, her workouts just doesn't suit me. The kickboxing workout is more aerobox that a true kickbox workout-alot of jumps and combinations ,and less focus on puttin power into the moves. as Collage rates it- it's high impact. you can take the jumps out, but you'll also take the intensity. Legs and glutes has some fun moves ,but I didn't like the pace of it-the moves are going a little too fast- for me it felt more cardio then toning. I gave it 2 stars because the production is really good- great music,bright set and alot of mix and match options. - posted by Shani on 6/1/2009 |

| This Workout Is Fun! |
| OK, this is one of the first Cathe cardio workouts I've ever done. I currently use "Core Max" in my rotations for my ab work, but had never tried one of her cardio DVD's. I love it! I love it! I love it! It is so much fun, the time flies by. Now, I have only done "Kick, Punch, and Crunch". I really don't ever plan to do the core work on the stability ball or "Legs and Glutes". I do Jari Love for my weight training.
The DVD starts with Cathe introducing the moves you'll be doing---she goes over proper form for the punches and kicks you'll be doing. Then you move into the warm up and start learning the basics of the kicking & punching work that you'll build on later in the workout. You do some quick stretching and get right back at it. All the drills were fun and surprisingly somewhat easy to follow after you've done the workout several times through. The Kicking & Punching Combo's are three different routines that you do on your right & left sides. I love #1, really love #2 (the music gets pretty good here, or at least I think so.) and I skip Combo #3. I don't like #3, so that's why I don't do it, plus when you do the Warm up, Drills and two Combos, you've worked out for a little more than an hour. The kickboxing choreography is not hard to learn. I tried "Kick Max" and was totally lost when they started turning backwards. I can handle intense, advanced workouts, but I don't like intricate choreography, which is probably why I've never tried a Cathe step workout. I have previewed several and the moves looked way to confusing. I want to buy a DVD and not have to spend a lot of times learning the moves. I want to add it to my rotation as quickly as possible for variety. Give it a try, I hope you like it as much as I do! - posted by Amanda on 2/26/2009 |

| Wow! Very Challenging! |
| I did this workout today for the first time, also my first Cathe workout. It was really, really hard and energizing! First, Cathe is a great instructor. She isn't annoying at all (I'm looking at you, Denise Austin!), and pushes you in a friendly way. I also loved that she would get out of breath during the moves and that all the people on the DVD were sweating (now I'm pointing at you, The Firm). It makes me feel like they're working as hard as I am. I have to admit, I sat out the second kick/punch combos, mainly because I was exhausted, but got back to it for the third combo, stretch and ab sections. This is really, really challenging for me, and I like that. I did have one complaint. Like others have mentioned, she wasn't always good about cueing prior to starting a move, but in time I'll anticipate that. - posted by Jamie on 11/21/2008 |

| A little long but an effective workout |
| I did this workout this morning and this evening I am sore all in my lower body, but this is the good soreness of where I will see results on my lower body. The KPC video is fun and never boring. This is the best kickboxing video that I have ever done. This is even better than the kickboxing classes offered at some gyms. It may be a little long for mornings when you're pressed for time and have children, and you have to go to work, but if youre willing to get up extra early this is time well spent. I hope cathe will make some 30 minutes dvds with the same intensity. since this is the amount of time I usually have to work out with. - posted by Delores on 9/1/2008 |

| Kick, Punch, & Crunch Legs & Glutes |
| This is another awesome DVD by Cathe! L & G is wonderful 'cause you don't have to have a barbell and take all that time to change the weights around. You'll be sore after this one. K,P,&C is fun but I wish it was 5 to 10 minutes shorter. I put the brakes on anything much over an hour. However, this is a great workout. You'll sweat buckets if you do the whole K,P,C video. - posted by :Loretta on 6/4/2008 |

| If you hate cardio TRY THIS! |
| Aerobics DVDs are usually mental agony for me, I just hate doing them. Also, my knees and ankles start burning the minute I lift my foot onto a step. This is awesome cardio for people who hate doing cardio. It's not dancy or complex at all but you'll be concentrating on the moves, so it goes by fast. Also, it's surprisingly low impact. My knees and ankles can handle it no problem. L&G is another story however. I blew my knee out the first time I tried it and couldn't work out for a week and a half! I much prefer Butts & Guts which challenges your muscles more while sparing your joints and tendons. So, for basically one workout the price was pretty high, but considering I do KPC every other day and it leaves me drenched in sweat each time, I would still say it's worth it. Even though I can't do L&G, I give this 5 stars overall since they're both solid effective workouts. - posted by Marian on 5/28/2008 |

| Great Kickboxing workout ! |
| This is soooo much fun and challenging to, I've had it for 2 years now, and I still do it and it's not boring at all, there's so many premixes and chapters, it's a very flexible workout, you'll get your money worth with this one. The second workout(Lower Body)is very challenging as well. Stick with it, eat right, and you'll get the results you're look for! - posted by Beeah on 3/19/2008 |

| My favorite kickboxing video ever! |
| I just did KPC last night then legs & glutes today and I LOVE both of them. Cathe is fantastic! I have several kickboxing videos as it is my favorite thing to do for cardio and this one is now my all time favorite. Next favorite would be Amy Bentos. Legs and glutes was a great well rounded leg workout.. I hope to see results after that one! :) - posted by Jess on 2/23/2008 |

| This is high impact |
| I agree with Collage's statement that this is high impact because there is a lot of jumping in this video. I just had a little problem with the cuing on this video as she just goes into a move sometimes and then announces what it is. - posted by Barbara on 1/20/2008 |
