Time graph for Kelly's Cardio Kick Step-Boxing

A blend of two cardio styles: athletic kickboxing and traditional step. It’s a natural, powerful fusion — Kelly Coffey-Meyer simply integrates the step into classic kickbox combos (e.g. squats combined with “bob and weaves”, punches combined with “over the tops”). It’s a fast-paced fat-burner. Kelly just “cues as she goes” — never slowing down to demo a sequence (but you can learn them ahead of time in the 11-minute tutorial). There is a lot of variety with dozens of different moves in both sideways and toward-the-TV step positions (plus each combo finishes with a 60-second burst). The workout ends with floor kickboxing and oblique-focused abwork (on one knee, kneeling on a mat). Club-style music. ©2007. DVD has: 3 premixes (13 to 40-min. alternate workouts).

Kelly's Cardio Kick Step-Boxing
Nice Change of Pace
I am a real step enthusiast. The more complicated the choreography, the better. But the was a great change. Not as intense as some of my other DVDs but certainly enough to get a good workout. The workout moved smoothly and went by pretty quickly. I liked it that she tought both sides simultaneously - she didn't teach the right side and then teach the entire thing over on the left side. This helped eliminate boredome. Also, the tempo is clearly faster than most step or kickboxing workouts - which is probably what brought this moderately intense workout up to inter/adv instead of intermediate. I am a very advanced exerciser and I still worked up a nice sweat. I will add this to my regular rotation. - posted by Adina on 9/23/2008

Tough/Fun
I previewed this once before trying and I did remember a few of the moves, but it will take a few times of doing the workout before I have it down. It can be difficult to put everything into it when you're learing the moves. I love Kelly's style and my body has taken on a better shape since using her videos on a regular basis. I'm not a huge fan of kickboxing, but I'm sure this dvd will get lots of use! - posted by Laura on 9/15/2008

Great Workout!!
I didn't get all the moves down right away but after a few times, I had them down. The music is great and will keep you motivated to keep trying until you get the routine down. This is one of my favorites. I work out after I get home from work and sometimes I watch the clock so I can get home and do this workout! That's how much I look forward to it. Its so much fun, the music will get you pumped and you get a great workout. - posted by Mary on 8/13/2008

FUN!
This is a gloriously fun workout. The choreography is fast paced which makes it seem tougher to learn that it actually turns out to be. I tried it on the step and found myself stumbling, although I did the tutorial. I tried it on the floor and learned it at one go. Now it flows smooth and strong done on the step for me. For those that only like basic choreography, this may not be for you. But for everyone else, I cannot imagine not liking it. It has everything: fantastic music, short and imaginative step plus kick-box combos, a great instructor, intense cardio, a touch of muscle conditioning that feels great for the core at the end, especially if you wear weighted gloves. - posted by Rachel on 7/27/2008

Just wasn't there
I was excited at first to get this dvd. After a half dozen times of doing it... I can say I am NOT impressed. The intensity I need just wasn't there for me. Instead of adding complex coreography she should have focused on intensity and proper form. I have done worse videos, but at least she is motivating - posted by Lauren on 6/28/2008

Like no other
I have stopped doing step aerobics. For one thing, I no longer have the patience to learn even moderately complex choreography. For another, I'd rather just run, kick-box or do something unfussy and athletic for cardio. Yet I cannot help loving this workout. It is like no other I have seen. It has moves that are unmistakably step-choreo that flow into kick box moves. They are woven together so deftly. They flow so smoothly. It seems difficult to learn at first, but really it is the speed that makes it seem complex. I think the only reason I gave this workout a chance was because of the tutorial. It helped me learn the tricky moves and then I was hooked. I learned it faster than workouts collage has rated moderately complex for step (from way back when I used to step). The music is great. I happen to always click with Kelly's music choices. Once I learned the workout I enjoy the non-stop pace, the flow, the beat and I get a great workout. - posted by Vrinda on 6/13/2008

Nice Blend of Kick Boxing and Step Aerobics
I found this workout to be very challenging!Though there are a lot of fun innovative moves (you'll never get bored with) it's very difficult to follow. At times the moves are too extreme and too complex. If you buy this dvd you'll definately need to invest in a longer aerobic step. The one I used was too short and it was impossible for me to execute some of the moves without slipping off of my stepper. This would have been a 5 star workout if Kelly did a better job making the moves less complex (and I'm an intermediate level exerciser!) - posted by Tiffany on 4/24/2008

Motivating - Just wanted to do it!
However first time up I felt frustrated with getting all the moves. Kelly did have a tutorial which I did but when she missed calling some of the moves during the workout I did get lost. I felt if Kelly had cued all the moves all the time, I would have had more success doing this great workout. I am excited about trying it again because I know I will eventually get it. Then I will be able to really go for it and have heaps of fun! - posted by Helen on 4/20/2008

Awesome Workout!
It only too me 2 tries to get the moves down and once you do this is a great workout! LOTS OF FUN. The time FLIES by when you are doing this workout, and always amazes me that I have done an hour of pure cardio without realizing it- however it does get you sweating! I am advanced and this workout keeps my heart rate up. Love it! - posted by Mandee on 3/18/2008

addicting!
This is a super fun cardio workout! It's an excellent blend of kickboxing and step. It really gets my heart pumping! Kelly is a great instructor and the music is good - with the exception of one song at the beginning of the workout that sounds like a turkey gobbling. (I call it the "Turkey Techno" song, it's annoying.) I have a lot of videos by various instructors, but this one is definitely one of my favorites! - posted by Emma on 3/10/2008

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.

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.

Step aerobics & toning

Definition: Includes two workout activities. The step aerobics segments involve stepping up and down on a platform. The moves range from simple stepping to more choreographed exercises. These segments require a step bench platform. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against 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.
