Is it me or Kickboxing is just the best

I tried more weights and then more cardio and circuit workouts such as Drill Max, and Butts & Guts / Leg and Glutes for my legs but only since I started Kickboxing, 3 weeks ago, only once a week because it kills me that I am seeing results. After only 3 workouts. I am chocked. So I bought Kickmax, since I only have KPC and Kickboxing from 4 days split. This weekend i will try Kickmax.

Is it because it's new to my body? I am really chocked. My abs are FINALLY kind of showing and my arms are less puffy and my legs are slightly smaller.

Anyone else experienced that? I wonder if it's kickboxing or a different workout.

I remember 2 years ago I got super toned with circuits workouts and I was just not seeing the same effects anymore. I use to hate kickboxing, now I am addicted.
 
Kickboxing is my very favorite cardio! But I'm not having the same results as you, so it could be b/c it's new for you.

Do you have Cardio Kicks? I actually prefer it to Kick Max. KM is more drills than kickboxing.

Plus CK has some nice eye candy. ;)
 
I'm a kickbox fanatic, not only is it great for helping us get in shape, but it is a fantastic form of stress relief!!

I also love the fact there is limited cheoreography involved.

What I have discovered with kickbox is, the better your form, the better your workout, as opposed to trying to go at breakneck speed.

My Cathe faves, in order

KPC
4DS KB..just wish it was longer than 30 minutes!
KM
CK..although the power drills at the end are really good!
 
Cathe's Kickbox

I enjoy all of Cathe's KB workouts too... I usually do at least one per week. :) I add intensity to the workouts w/the weighted gloves and the ankle/wrist weights. Kickboxing is an enjoyable workout with great results! One of these days...... I think I'd like to get my own punching bag.... ;)

Me too! The first time I tried it, I felt silly punching the air. Now I get mean...grrrrr!:D
I love all of Cathe's kickboxing workouts. I just bought Cardio Kicks. I have no idea how I missed that one. It's a great workout!
I love all the punching drills at the end:)
 
I LOVE kickboxing!
There are times whe I have had to very intentionally keep myself from doing it every day.

I love the feeling of power and speed (after the first few months of learning form---not too powerful or fast at first!), the core work, the flexibilty I get from it.
 
I love Kickboxing too!! I almost always incorporate 1 kickboxing workout a week and hands down not only does it give me a good workout, but puts me in a great mood.

I would love for Cathe to do a KPC 2... that is my favorite of all her kickboxing workouts.

If you've not tried it, CTX has a kickboxing workout in the series that is pretty good too.. I actually prefer it to the 4DS Kickbox workout.

I can't wait till Cathe does her kickboxing series! I have been checking the forums a lot lately to see if that is still her goal now that STS is finished. :)

I WANT MY MMA!

I've been waiting for the update on it that Cathe promised when I asked about it several months before STS was finished. She said that she'd give more info after STS was done.

I asked about this too and SNM said that they were not going to do this series. :( I really hope that this info is wrong. No one and I mean no one does kickboxing like Cathe. It is truly a full body workout!

WHAT?! When/where did they post that?

I've been anxiously awaiting news on it (but not THIS news:confused:).
That's VERY disappointing.:(
Guess I'll be going elsewhere for my cardio. :mad:

(Actually, Kelly Coffey-Meyer does really good kickboxing. Her "30 minutes to fitness" KB workout is my current favorite).

I almost gave this away. I'm going to spend some time learning it.
I just bought Illaria's Powerstrike and Bodystrike. I'm going to try them out tomorrow;)

I hate kickbox with a passion, but I love what it does for my body.

As much as I hate kickbox, it is a vital part of my athletic training.

I prefer the dancier moves and choreography, but that is just me.

There is not a doubt in my mind that kickbox keeps me looking toned.

So I hate it, but I love it (to quote Old Tony Horton)

You have got to be kiddiing. You mean to tell me Mixed Martial Arts is not going to happen?

I hate kickbox, but know how good it is for my body.

I really wanted a video with Cathe, Jai, and Lorrayne and perhaps a couple of men.

Perhaps we will at least get a new step and hi/low cardio workout DVD.

Funny you say that because I had decided to KB more often also. I was just recalling how toned my body got from Billy Blanks Taebo Advanced Video. I had been cardio/weights and it wasn't until I started the Taebo videos did I see any results. The funny thing is, that's all I did. At the time I had a control freak as a BF and he complained about me at the gym all the time. So to keep hearing his mouth, I started working out at home doing KB once a day and it transformed my whole body.

This post has been a confirmation for me to take up KB again.
 
I have to second (or third?) the recommendation for Kelly Coffey Meyer's 30 Minutes to Fitness Kickboxing. I had fun, the time moved quickly and I worked hard. I like Kelly because I work really hard and burn a lot of calories but I don't feel wrung out or overworked at the end. Her cuing style isn't my favorite, but after a few times through the workout, that was no longer an issue.
 
Alright ladies you've enabled me. :D
I've been eyeing Kelly's new kickboxing workout for a while now. I love her stepboxing workouts.

I've been wanting to get Powerstrike too.

DH is going to take my cc priviledges away..lol. :p
