Certified instructor description: High-energy kickbox aerobics plus a unique, Brazilian-inspired toning/balance series. The fast-paced hi/lo really burns the fat while the toning segment really challenges your lower body. There’s no slowing down; Sherri Jacquelyn’s well-designed cardio is totally non-stop. She’s already cuing the next sequence as you’re finishing the current one. Or she’s adding an anaerobic plyometric “burst” to propel you into the next combo. The all-standing toning section is based on Capoeira martial arts moves. From Brazil, it’s a powerful and effective technique that keeps your core engaged as your gluteal and leg muscles gracefully move your body. ©2006. DVD has: Chapter menus.

CIA 2603: Criss-Cross Cardio
Awsome Kickboxing Workout
Great kickboxing workout! Easy to following and great cuing from Sherri. She offers a good mix of kickboxing, boot camp and aerobic cardio drills, gets your heart rate up and you are able to get a good sweat! I really enjoy the capoeira (martial art form), sculpting exercises to strengthen the glutes, abs and upper body. It very challenging and by using your own body weight and using slow and controlled movements, you can really feel your muscles getting stronger and more toned. Love it! Does Sherri Jacquelyn have any more workout DVD's to offer? It would be great to see more of her DVD's offered on Collage Video's web site. - posted by Joyce on 2/13/2011

Love it!
I have alot of DVD's and many are kickboxing. I really like this one for it's pace and effectiveness. The standing toning section is great on its own too. - posted by Ann on 8/24/2010

Sweating Bullets!!
This was a fun, effective workout! The combos were creative, the intervals were short enough to keep me from getting bored. It moves pretty fast, but I like that. I think she did a good job at breaking down the combos. A little too much counting, but it didn't bother me much. Overall energy of the video is amazing. The Capioera segment was awesome!! My HRM said that I burned 570 calories! Great exercise video! - posted by Stephanie on 4/20/2010

Speedy!
She throws those punches fast and hard! Very high energy, fun, and the time flies by. The instructor has a great personality and puts her all into it. My only complaint is the "back-up" exercisers look like they don't want to be there - like they would rather be having a root canal. As long as you ignore them it's a great DVD. - posted by Laura on 2/28/2009

Sweaty, different and fun!
I agree with the reviewer who said that Sherri is a rough diamond, but I think the freshness of her workout and her enthusiasm makes up for her lack of polish. This DVD is different and lots of fun. It's almost worth buying for the Capoirea section alone - I'm in awe of the person who said it was a bit easy! This DVD is a great addition to anyone's kickbox library. - posted by RedPanda on 8/22/2008

Good workout
This workout has nice combos - yet between them there's too much "pausing" (that's why I can't give it full 5 stars). The workout is energetic and fun - and Sherri is a good, motivating instructor. I would not rate it "advanced", it is more intermediate, I'd say. Altogether, an ok workout. - posted by Maria on 7/12/2008

Could of been better
What I enjoyed most about this workout is the segments where you were actually doing cardio- or something to maintain your heart rate...but there is too much slowing down between moves, and I wish there were more kicking, and less combos. The background exercisers did not have great form at all. - posted by Mandee on 11/19/2007

More instruction, less counting!
My body is happy with this workout, but my mind is not. It does kick my butt, but the more I do it, the more I feel the lack of any meaningful instruction from Sherri Jacquelyn. She does the moves and counts (and says Awesome! a lot), but does not clearly instruct and explain. Some of the kickboxing drills are too fast and confusing, but I just keep moving and do my best. It makes me appreciate the excellence of Cathe Friedrich, Jari Love and Patrick Goudeau in some of the other advanced videos I bought around the same time. I find the poor form of her "backup" kickboxers distracting. - posted by Susan on 7/12/2007

I like this workout a lot!
I wasnt sure about this video the first couple of times-it seemed a but choppy, But I love the way she mixes things up and never stays to the point of boredom with one combo-my only complaint with some of Amy Bento's stuff. Sherri is a rough diamond-not always that poished in her delivery but she instructs with a lot of enthusiam and a sense of fun-I also like the Capoirea which I find interesting if a bit easy-except for that last move which always knocks me out - posted by Trish on 7/2/2007

Where's the kicking
Too much punching and not enough kicking for me, get Cathe Freidrich's kick punch and crunch. The cuing is much better. - posted by Delores on 6/26/2007

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.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
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.

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.
