Core Cross Train Kickbox |
  Love this workout! |
| I've never really liked kick boxing but I love this workout, as well as Ilaria Montagnani's Powerstrike. The moves are repetitious enough so that you can get the hang of them but she adds on and changes the moves so it doesn't become boring. So if you have two left feet like me, don't worry...you can do this workout. You will also get your heart rate up and sweat. The only downfall is that each workout is separate so you can't press play and go through the whole workout. - posted by Faith on 8/22/2010 |

| not worthy at all |
| tremendously boring, too instructional... i could fall asleep during execution. Please rate for very low beginner level. 70 minutes burnt only 280 kal in zone only 29 minutes... - posted by maurizia on 7/28/2010 |

| Kick back core cross train |
| I was hoping it would be more of a continuous work out. I have used the video twice and I get an "ok" workout, but I will use it for when I need a bit of a break and not for more hardcore aerobics, which is what I was hoping for. - posted by Paige on 7/8/2010 |

| Loved It |
| I have tried many other kickboxing videos but this one is by far superior. Patricia Moreno is one of the best instructors I have seen. She explains through the video what you should focus on and revisits form. She is motivating and driving you to do your best. I got a great workout the first time and can't wait to master the moves. I will look for all of her videos, she is a superb instructor. - posted by Sherry on 6/10/2010 |

| terrific |
| I love this workout- I don't understand some of the negative reviews- maybe because I am an intermediate/beginner at this stage in my life- though 20 years ago I used to be an aerobic instructor- I own over 100 exercise dvd's & I am still looking for new dvd's to do. This one I purchased 4 months ago- & I use it every week- sometimes I just do the punches for a warm-up to some other DVD'S I have, & sometimes I incorporate the kicks segment into my leg toning- to get an added extra boost & cardio in- or somedays I do the whole thing & when I am done- I am covered in sweat- Patricia Moreno does explain the moves- though I really like this- this way I know what I am doing & the proper form in doing it- instead of doing a video & having the lost feeling until I do the video 5 times to learn everything. I thoroughly enjoy this workout & highly recommend it. superbly done - posted by donna on 5/29/2010 |

| patricia moreno has a new fan |
| this is the first time i do kickboxing and understand what i am doing. it is a tough workout ( i consider myself an intermediate), and my body is sore at the right places after doing it. pat is friendly and motivating, precise and a good cuer. problem: she talks too much. - posted by azita on 5/19/2010 |

| doubt I'll use it |
| I do not think I will do this workout often, if ever. The emphasis is on good form and so it moves along slowly. It is very instructional which other reviewers mentioned but I did not think I would mind. Anyway, by the end of the workout, I did not feel worked out. I need more time efficient videos. Additionally, like most of Gaiam's videos, this one is irritating to use, Collage even had to post a note on the outer packaging wrap explaining how to play it. The instructor is likeable however. Her voice is pleasant, although she wears a frown the whole time because of squinting from the sun. I regret this purchase. - posted by Jodi on 5/11/2010 |

| educational but not a steady pace workout |
| Instructor provides a good foundation for technique. The only segment that I continue to use is the core training. I think the intensity of the workout is disrupted by too much review of each new movement. It is too bad, because the potential value of this workout is never achieved. - posted by Beth on 4/23/2010 |

| You don't need to cry "Uncle" to get a great workout! |
| Patricia Moreno is now my go-to for kickboxing. She teaches it the way I would want to have it taught to me, with attention to focus and form. It is really easy to injure yourself while kickboxing..the basics are crucial, and between this one and Kickbox Yoga Fusion, Patricia puts the focus where it should be. In terms of an effective cardio workout..if you really listen to her pointers on having the movements come from your legs..you'll get an excellent workout. I was sweating buckets, without a single jumping jack, or plyo move. Simply great!! - posted by Jerry on 4/10/2010 |

| Kickbox:core cross train |
| This dvd is incorrectly labeled inter/advan, it is clearly a beginner level kickbox/core cross training workout. - posted by Tiffany on 4/2/2010 [note from Collage] We re-reviewed this workout and changed its level to Intermediate. |
