Certified instructor description: Expertly led by Patricia Moreno, each move has a subtle intensity and quiet effectiveness. You’ll burn mega-calories as you increase balance, strength and grace. Every motion really does originate from your center (e.g. a punch isn’t just a flailing arm; it’s a core-based movement that’s both powerful and purposeful). The workouts become progressively more challenging. The first one is basic punches; the last one is “choreographed” kickboxing combos (all taught add-on style, so the sequencing is natural and easy to follow). It’s filmed outdoors in the high desert of Arizona. DVD also has a bonus 14-minute toning/stretch workout. ©2007. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Core Cross Train: Kickbox

Great scenery, good workout
I enjoyed this video. Pat Moreno is a motivating instructor and I really liked the way she broke down the moves. I wish I'd had this video before I bought other kickboxing videos. The scenery was breathtaking. - posted by Tipi on 1/7/2012
Patricia Moreno's kickboxing workout
I really like this dvd more than I thought I would. Have tried other kickboxing dvds before and this one seems to suit me as a first timer. The moves are fluid, straightforward, and they teach you the basic things you need to know to do kickboxing right. She has perfect form. I would recommend this dvd for any beginner starting to do kickboxing who wants to learn the basic moves. You do sweat too! It is helping me to improve my balance also, which is terrible. I hope others enjoy it as well as myself. - posted by Beverly on 11/2/2011
Amazing workout
I highly recommend Kickbox core cross train by Patricia Moreno. It's one of the best workouts I've see on video. I love the workout you get when you complete the entire program. - posted by susan on 8/18/2011
helpful
Like many gaiam workouts, the warmup is very good for me as I have lots of stiffness in joints and some arthritis. Though the instructor talks more than I like, her comments about connecting the core to the various exercises was very helpful. My form is better when doing other kickboxing routines, like Illaria's Powerstrike. I would consider this a low level intermediate routine, which is very appropriate for me on slower days. I'm in my late fifties, with many years of aerobics and now need low impact cardio. - posted by leslie on 7/29/2011
Don't waste your money
This video is very poorly designed. You can't do the whole routine at once. You play the individual sections. Very disjointed and not a very good routine. The scenery is nice but that's the best I can say for the video. I wouldn't waste your money. - posted by Mary on 7/9/2011
Great Workout!
This is the best kickboxing workout I have ever used! I have really bad knees and I have purchased several kickboxing dvds only to have to stop using them because of the high impact. I love this workout because Patricia Moreno is a wonderful instructor and I can complete this workout without any knee pain. I will definitely be on the lookout for more of her workouts. - posted by Ronda on 6/9/2011
motivate
okay. This DVD was interesting because of the choreography. It took me a few times to get it right. I had to stop just to figure out what she was doing> I personally liked that there was not a play all feature. I like to set my own pace. I am a Billy Blanks and Hip Hop Abs girl and the moves with those instructors were fun yet challenging> her moves are challenging but not fun> - posted by ty on 5/29/2011
An "okay" workout
The final combination portion of the video is the best part and I will probably just use it as an add on when I still have energy after another workout. The downtime between the moves is the main part I didn't like. Maybe a little too much explanation...for the 1st time around it was okay and not after. Scenery was nice though. - posted by Stacey on 5/2/2011
great beginners workout
I am new to kickboxing and really wanted to give it a try. This dvd is wonderful, she is patient, encouraging (without yelling) and if you follow the instructions (and with some stops and starts) even an uncoordinated person like me will get the hang of it. It has been 3 weeks since I've started and I have not attempted the combinations yet - but I will! It also definitely works your abs! - posted by clarika tanner on 4/13/2011
Not so much
Though it was a good workout, the instructor was really annoying. She kept saying for intensity queues 'a lot' like 'tuck in your belly... a lot...' There was no explanation of what a lot should look or feel like and the moves were all over the place. I am at intermediate-advanced level and did sweat and felt like I got the workout, but I am sending it back because I know it will be one of those that I skip over, opting for another 'go to' because I am just annoyed by it. - posted by Christine on 3/25/2011

Reading a Time Graph
X
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.
