Certified instructor description: An ultra-thorough kickboxing workout that focuses on strength, power and control. Ilaria will keep you energized with her buff physique, perfect form and no-nonsense approach. Using high reps of simple-but-challenging exercises, her moves are carefully designed to burn fat as they tone your muscles (with never a wasted motion). You’ll start with a series of punches: crosses, jabs, hooks and upper cuts. Then you’ll add the kick variations: front kicks, roundhouses and crescents. That’s followed by 25 minutes of varied combos — fast-tempo/high-intensity punch-and-kick patterns that use the movements you learned earlier. ©2006. DVD has:

PowerStrike with Ilaria Montagnani |
    surprisingly challenging |
| I'm used to faster paced cardio kickboxing routines, so I did not expect to be adequately challenged by this workout. However, I was wrong. Simply adjusting my focus and increasing my concentration on precision and power made a great difference in the intensity level. Ilaria's cuing is clear, and her form is inspiring in its perfection. I didn't find the routines to be repetitious or boring at all. This is a solid workout that sneaks up on you until you realize you've reached the end - sweaty, happy, and empowered. - posted by Jennifer B. on 11/26/2011 |

    Great workout. |
| I have become a real fan of Ilaria. I think she is an excellent instructor. My heart rate goes up, I work up quite the sweat but my 50+ year old joints don't have to suffer. I also have her other 2 Powerstrike kickboxing workouts and I hope she has plans to make more in the future. - posted by Bonnie on 11/19/2011 |

    PowerStrike is a winner |
| I enjoy this workout. The routines are easy to learn. Ilaria is pleasant. She goes through punch and kick to ensure that they are done properly so as to protect joints and back and to make sure you're getting the most out of each one. Although her help smiles the entire time it's not annoying. Some workouts you look forward to doing and some you don't. I don't dread this one at all and know I'm getting a good overall workout. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is I wouldn't mind a few more routines. - posted by melissa on 7/15/2011 |

    Powerstrike |
| I love this workout. The moves are basic and the instructor makes it easy to follow along by 'adding on'. I've been doing kickbox for a few years and this is the most challenging video I have...definitely got my heart rate up. I would definitely buy more videos by Ilaria. The only thing I don't like is the menu set-up ...or lack of. You have to listen through the basics each time - you can't go right to the workout. It's only about 5 minutes but still when I'm pressed for time I don't want to listen to it. - posted by Karen on 6/2/2011 |

    Powerstrike good workout and skillfully done |
| I was looking for a good cardio kickboxing workout. Have been using Billy Blanks Taebo Live series. I was especially concerned that Powerstrike show correct form to protect from injuries too. I am very please with Ilaria's Powerstrike workout and in time plan to order other of her kickboxing workouts. I found that she has good solid martial arts background in Karate besides kickboxing and trust her form that she teaches. It is a tough workout and I think is some harder than Taebo and even better rounded. Nice job! - posted by John Wilkinson on 4/22/2011 |

    Fairly challenging intermediate level workout |
| This workout can be surprisingly challenging and flexible. It's a basic kickboxing style workout that can be tailored to a rather lethargic day, or I can go all out and make it a rough hour to endure. I love the low-impact nature of the workout. On most days, I don't want to frenetically bounce around like a Jack Russell Terrier. Intense strength moves that require concentration, like the pushes, punches, swings, and squats in this DVD, are perfect for me. I will say that I lose some of my cardio momentum at the halfway mark, the part of the DVD labeled "Routines." For some reason, I just don't feel as challenged in this section. It could be the case that I am just tired at the halfway mark. Maybe I'm not giving it my all at that point. Overall, this is a very good exercise routine. I look forward to trying Ilaria's Bodystrikes. - posted by Katarina on 3/22/2011 |

    Great workout |
| I have lower back issues and was looking for a good and challenging cardio low-impact workout. I loved this video. I really worked up a sweat. The care she gives to teaching you the proper technique/form to protect from injury (especially to the knees). - posted by Whitney on 1/31/2011 |

    It's Just Fine |
| I appreciate that Ilaria offers a tutorial to help ensure that your form and movements are correct. She is encouraging and seems to know her stuff. I definitely felt my hamstrings, quads, and glutes working during the kicking sections and the punches are good for getting out aggression. ;) In spite of these things, though, there is something boring about this video. I debated returning it, but kept it because I think it will be beneficial for strengthening my body and increasing my stamina. It may not be your most motivating, exciting workout but it's not a bad one to put in your rotation. - posted by Anne on 1/29/2011 |

    Love Ilaria |
| This is my first Ilaria Montagnani workout, but it won't be my last. I love the instruction that she gives at the beginning of the video as to proper form. I also appreciate the fact that is actually a martial arts expert and knows what she's talking about! There was no impact to my already bad knees. Her cuing is great. I will definitely incorporate PowerStrike into my weekly exercise schedule. Way to go, Ilaria! - posted by Lynn on 12/4/2010 |
