Time graph for Amy Bento's All Cardio Hi-Low Knockout

Amy Bento combines aerobic favorites with higher-intensity bootcamp and kickboxing moves. It’s a non-stop fat-burner designed to keep you physically challenged. Each combo starts with familiar, large muscle-group moves like repeaters, jogs, jumping jacks and kick ball changes (often intensified with overhead arm motions). That’s followed by explosive bursts of bootcamp and kickboxing — squat thrusts, jump lunges, side kicks and “double front kicks.” But no slowing down; then you’re on to the next combo. It’s all driven by Amy’s contagious energy and great pop-hits music (e.g. “Buttons,” “Truly, Madly, Deeply” and “Go Your Own Way”). Requires 3 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2008. DVD has: 4 premixes (44-64 min), Chapter menus.

Amy Bento's All Cardio Hi-Low Knockout
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

Calorie Killer
High Energy workout. The time flies. It's long and yeah, it may take a few runs through to master the moves, but they are fun and you won't get bored. I wore a heart rate monitor and fried major calories! Great ab section. - posted by L. on 12/4/2008

I will grow to love this one!
I know I will grow to love this workout but the moves are a bit hard to get down the first few times. I love how it keeps your heart rate up and you are continually moving- I also love the fact that there are some great kickboxing moves in it-- front kicks, crescents and side kicks during one knockout. This is definitely more fun than her hi/lo extreme in my opinion. I am looking forward to doing it again as I am hoping to get all the moves down next time so I won't have to be frustrated. It is a milestone we must get over to really enjoy workouts like this!! - posted by Mandee on 10/27/2008

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.
