Time graph for Cathe's Kick, Punch Crunch & Legs & Glutes

Two complete workouts: a high-energy floor-aerobics kickbox program plus (2) an ultra-challenging lower-body segment that uses a step. “Kick, Punch & Crunch” begins with a kickbox instructional segment. By learning the moves first, Cathe never needs to slow down during the workout (which she certainly doesn’t — this is 46 minutes of non-stop calorie burning). Cathe further maximizes the intensity by incorporating jumping jacks, squats and double-time moves within the standard non-step kickboxing. It ends with a stability ball ab segment. “Legs & Glutes” is tough. Using a high step, it features lots of compound exercises, from leg presses and hover squats to leg lifts and curtsy lunges (often with ankle weights for even more resistance). Superb instruction. The cardio is regular floor aerobics. The toning section requires a stability ball, 3 to 15 lb. dumbbells, 2 to 5 lb. ankle weights and a “stick” for balance. Has a “premix” feature that lets you select pre-programmed shorter workouts (e.g. just the kickbox segments). ©2003. DVD has: 20 premixes (11 to 79-min. alternate workouts), Chapter menus.

Cathe's Kick, Punch Crunch & Legs & Glutes
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

CATHE ROCKS!
I don't like to leave a review until I have tried all the workouts on a dvd. I've had this dvd for a couple years and just now got around to trying Legs and Glutes! Great lower body work even without the use of weights. I tend to bulk in the lower body, and I really felt I got a fantastic lower body workout with using just my body weight. The hover squats, low ends, and the "jeanie" squats are my favorite moves for being very effective. On to KPC--my FAVORITE kickboxing workout I own! I absolutely love it for being high intensity, but low impact, kickboxing work. That's one thing about Cathe's workouts, you get so much bang for your buck! Love all the premixes, workout blender, chapters...so many options that are endless! Cathe does, indeed, rock! ") - posted by MRS on 12/15/2007

Wow, burn
The leg and glutes will make your legs burn and get you results. Nice variety and just love it for a little slower lighter days with my legs workouts of all of Cathe's. The kickbox is pretty good to, but not a big fan of kicboxing. But, Cathe has a good style, highly recommend her. - posted by Laci on 10/12/2007

My favorite workout DVD
KPc is the best kickboxing I have: fun and intense. I love the punching and kicking combos. L and G is a great lower body workout. You will find lot of awesome premixes in the DVD. A must have. - posted by Maringeles on 8/24/2007

None better
Quite simply, the best kickbox workout I've ever done. Everytime I thought...boy, I could stand a little break, Cathe would stretch us out!!! There was never a part of this workout where I felt it was beyond my skill level, yet at the end, I felt like I had the most intense workout of my life, but I wasn't burned out after!!!I'm not a big fan of ab work, but the Crunch part of this wasn't bad, either.All in all, a super workout from a super teacher! - posted by Jerry on 8/14/2007

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.
