CIA 2901: Amy Bento - Kickbox Surge & Core Training |
 Great choreography, great music, great dvd! |
| This is one of Amy's best, IMO. It has fantastic music and the combos are short but she manages to make them so much fun. For reference, I thought this one was a lot easier to learn than her Kickbox Xtreme, which is another goodie. Basically, Combo 1 was the trickiest, but you'll get it. The surges are simple drills that pack a punch, for sure! And for a fresh perspective and something different, I like to do the combos, but instead of the surges, I replace them with Kettlebell exercises, which makes for a kick-butt cardio workout! Either way you complete this one, it's a winner! You did good, Amy! :) - posted by MRS on 2/25/2010 |

| Fun Cardio Workout! |
| I absolutely love this workout! The moves are fun, the music is great, and the time goes by quickly. Using the medicine ball for core work is challenging and fun! I will be doing this workout a lot! - posted by Linda on 2/23/2010 |

| Wonderful!! |
| This a great DVD. It gets your heart rate up, the music is good, and it is fun. Yes, it is tricky to learn all the moves on the first time through, but stay with it, you will be glad you did. - posted by Leah on 2/11/2010 |

| Best I have seen yet! |
| Amy Bento is fantastic. Her energy alone is invigorating. I am a trainer and spent years teaching kickboxing and she is fantastic. She is one of the few I recommend. This workout along with In The Ring are the best! - posted by Linda on 1/22/2010 |

| More dvd's |
| I really like this workout. Very energetic and love the music. The music makes it more fun to work out. I hope Amy comes out with new kickboxing workout videos. I almost know all the kickboxing by heart. - posted by Martha on 1/20/2010 |

 Back to Cathe |
| I am an advance exerciser with experience in kickboxing. I typically follow Cathe F. and have never injured myself in any way. I recently tried one of the fake side kicks, twisting back kick moves and tore my ACL. Very unsafe and therefore do not recommend this kickboxing segment. I will keep this CD, but just for the ab routine. - posted by Kathleen on 1/15/2010 |

| Tough, but terrific |
| This is probably the toughest workout DVD I have ever done, and that's a great thing. The combos are tough, not just physically but mentally. You really have to have your brain turned on to remember the moves. The surges are short but brutal and not only push you to your anaerobic threshold, they challenge your muscles and balance as well. The "core refining" section is a killer--I did it without the medicine ball and I barely got through. Word to the wise: preview at least once before attempting this one, because while Amy does provide excellent cuing, she doesn't actually preview any of the moves in the combos before getting into them. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is in very good shape and is looking for a challenge both physical and mental. You'll be exhausted in the best way after doing this one! - posted by Nicole on 1/15/2010 |

| OMG, what a workout! |
| This is for advanced exercisers! Also, don't try this if you have never done kickboxing before. I do Cathe Friedrich regularly and I would say this is on par with a lot of her advanced rigorous workouts. I watched it twice before I even attempted it because I could tell the moves would be tricky. This is SO MUCH fun! Great music, perfect choreography and Amy and the girls are wonderful as usual. This is not easy. You will sweat, but it goes by pretty fast. One of my new favourites! - posted by AG on 12/29/2009 |

| Couldn't get into it |
| I thought I was used to Amy's complicated choreography but this one was too much for me. The moves are so complex and she doesn't break them down at all (or have a preview section like she does on some of her step videos) so I found myself just standing and watching, which obviously does NOTHING for my heart rate. I've tried it a few times but this one is definitely NOT going in the rotation. - posted by Judi on 12/28/2009 |

| Amy at her best ! |
| I have all of Amy's workouts and this is my all-time favorite. Not only is the pace of the workout perfect but the intensity is great. It can also be easily modified to be low impact or ramped up with weighted gloves. The music is really fun and the cuing is perfect. You will feel like you have worked every part of your body. If you like kickbox, you must add this sweatfest to your rotation. - posted by Maggie on 12/10/2009 |
