Step Boxing Workout (DVD, 2007)

Several reviewers in Collage Videos (more reviews of workouts on their site) thought the pace was too fast, but if you know that beforehand and review the dvd 1st, that helps. The choreography isn’t terribly complex so after doing it a couple times, it does come to you. I always think too that if the moves don’t feel right but you generally like the workout, just substitute something you like until you can join back in. The point is to keep moving, right? I generally don’t care for fast-paced workouts, which is why I liked the weight circuit toward the end, but I didn’t mind the pace, so maybe it’s a personal preference thing. Kelly seems down to earth, naturally athletic and energetic, and upbeat--a very likeable and real personality.

I generally choose low to mid-range advanced workouts and I'd have to say this is a high intermediate, maybe close to low advanced. I wasn't totally drained and drenched at the end of it, but I don't think you have to do that each and every time to get a good workout.

I wish the dvd had workout options but no one adds features like Cathe Friedrich and I always judge others by her standard so maybe that’s not fair. There isn't really any information on what weights to use so those without experience in cardio with weights will want to make sure to start low. Also, the abs section is pretty routine and the music rather boring which was a surprise since the workout itself was creative. Neither detract from the workout altogether though, in my opinion. Overall, I am inspired to look into her other workouts : )
