Amy Bento's All Cardio Hi-Low Knockout |
  Way too fast and complicated |
| I am in extremely good shape and love to do workout videos at home. I was disappointed in this workout because I really like a challenge and this seemed like a challenging workout. What I didn't like about this workout is it is very aerobic oriented. Unless you are a master at complicated aerobic moves, then this workout is not for you. Amy just immediately jumps into the workout at breakneck speed (yes, literally) and this pace continues throughout the entire video. Although this is probably an effective way to workout, I feel like I get just as good of a workout in something like Jillian Michaels workouts where she takes time to explain the move, then do the move, then take brief rest. I just see no reason why Amy is in such a hurry in this workout. She could have really maximized results if she would have slowed down a bit and explained what she is doing. I will not be adding this video to my workout rotation. - posted by AJ on 3/8/2010 |

| This one is fun ! |
| What a great workout this is, the music is awesome, the combos are not too hard to learn and the intensity and energy are way up there. This is the one I keep coming back to for a surefire cardio blast that is above all fun. I am in absolute awe of Amy and the other two ladies as they effortlessly breeze through knockout two. Amy Bento is a great instructor and I hope she makes more like this. - posted by Maria on 3/8/2010 |

| It's tough, but someones gotta do it! |
| I wanted a lung-burning, sweat-drenching cardio challenge and this is definitely it! I am 23 and a intermediate exerciser and I LOVE this workout. Some of the choreography is challenging and confusing at first, but you'll get it down with a few tries. I like that it is challenging, because you won't tire of it easily. I love that the menu has pre-mixed options for when you don't have the time or energy to attempt the entire workout. It has great music and Amy's energy is fun and contagious. I love that she gets really into it and is totally drenched at the end too (unlike other workouts where the instructors obviously take a brake between segments and never break a sweat)! A great workout for people who really like to push and challenge themselves. This was my first Amy Bento dvd, but I will definitely be buying more! - posted by Sierra on 10/1/2009 |

| Exactly what I was looking for! |
| For 3 months now, I've been working out with Christi Taylor tapes and various advanced dvds, but I really wanted more of a challenge in terms of intensity, not choreography. This dvd is sooo much fun, with the intensity I've been needing. I absolutely love it! I would say I'm a high intermediate exerciser and I haven't been able to finish the whole dvd. Also, I'm very new to kickboxing, but her kickboxing portions were totally do-able (I don't attempt "knockout #2", tho). Another Amy Bento fan! - posted by Cindy on 8/25/2009 |

| One of her best! |
| I almost passed this one up! I knew I loved this DVD from the first time I previewed it. It has great music and fun, creative choreography. I've noticed that it wears on my lower legs a bit (a lot of jumping, running), but it leaves you sweaty. This is the perfect mix of good music and good moves. I pretty much got everything down by my third time. I'm going to save this one for my FUN workout days! - posted by AG on 8/18/2009 |

| One of my all time faves! |
| This workout is probably one of my all time favorites (if not my favorite). The music is awesome and motivating. The moves, while they look hard at first, are very doable. The workout is tough. I did it last night (all but the core work) and my HRM said I burned over 800 calories. I also think the moves flow very well. I love the combination of Hi/Lo and kickboxing. Highly suggest this workout! - posted by Sherri on 8/13/2009 |

| Absolute must have! |
| I completely love this video. It has great music that is actually sing-along-able instead of the normal techno type music that Amy uses. It also is slightly easier to follow the choreography than other Amy videos. Amy is my favorite video instructor and I highly recommend her to any advanced exerciser. I think this is one of the better Amy videos for those who are in good shape but are not familiar with her style/cueing. Its good for getting you used to her style before throwing you into difficult choreography. It also has my favorite two girls in it because their upbeat high energy performance keeps me excited to exercise. The kickboxing style intervals are awesome, both incredibly difficult and incredibly fun. Although its worth noting that the combos are not kick boxing just the intervals. I especially enjoy the "rainbows" interval I usually rewind and do them again just for fun- and they are awesome for getting that random bulge of fat off the side and lower back. The ab section is ok. Nothing overly interesting or intense but a decent ab workout. Plus the combos are very ab intensive so often my core will be sore (a good sore) even without the ab workout at the end. - posted by Amanda on 7/15/2009 |

| My absolutely favorite instructor! |
| I LOVE Amy! I am constantly looking for new videos from her. I agree with another instructor that every video of hers I get quickly becomes my new favorite. This video is primarily cardio, and I have not tried the abs toning. The cardio section gets the heart rate up and keeps it up there. The moves are advanced and may take you some time to get them down. I tried to preview the DVD but actually found it easier to just get in there and do it! It is fast-paced, fun, has great music and the intervals are intense (esp. #2!). Hang in there, though, it's worth it! Amy is such a great instructor and her cueing is excellent. I use this and her other workouts several times a week. I can't wait for the two others of hers I just bought! - posted by Kate on 3/31/2009 |

| I love this workout! But Ouch! |
| Every Amy DVD I buy I think 'this is my new favourite' and this DVD was no exception. I really love this DVD. But it is hard, and because of the intervals, probably harder than Amy's other hi/lo dvds. The choreography is interesting, but by no means hard to pick up. Combos 1 and 2, and intervals 1 and 2 are far harder (physically) than 3 and 4, and when I've mastered the first half I feel quite relieved. I am always dripping when i finish and Amy workout, but this one more than any other. I think combo 2 is the weakest choreographically, as the counting is slightly unusual. But it is still brilliant. I love Amy, and since buying this DVD I have bought 4 others. I have so many Amy dvds that she has her own shelf! She is by far the best. - posted by Zoe on 2/18/2009 |

| A heartpumping groove fest. |
| I love this. I'll admit I watched it a few times before I attempted the routine, but it has grown on me. I especially love combos 3 and 4. I talk myself through combos 1 and 2 because I know I have the last two to look forward to :-). I've always loved good music and this video has plenty of it. The moves are challenging (and I miss a few steps here and there), but it is worth the effort. The ab section is also unique and great. My Amy Bento collection has grown significantly since I discovered her last year; I hope she keeps creating these workouts. - posted by Anita on 1/23/2009 |
