RE: Proper form of a I take Cardio Kick-boxing classes at a Tae Kwon Do Studio, and I notice we don't do a whole lot of side and round house kicks. I've never asked any of the instructors why this is it, but I'm thinking it's because the speed at which the classes are paced, would make it a...

OMG, that song is driving me crazy. My daughter is 12 and she loves the song. I agree it's got a catchy beat, but I ended up prohibiting my daughter from playing it again, lol.

I don't know if I'm just used to tough kick-boxing workouts, but I found this workout to be almost too easy. It didn't really raise my heart-rate up much. I did like the combos, but felt they were too short to really get an effective workout. I felt the intensity was definitely not up to...

Jerry, I was around the club when you and Jill went to Certification camp. I myself contemplated going at one time, but it would have been a huge expense. Had I gone back then, the only thing I would have been prepared for, would have been to work Very hard. I would have gone expecting to...

Hi Cathe, Happy Memorial Day to you too! Enjoy your much needed break with family. I will be taking in our town parade with my daughter and hopefully my son and grandson. It will be my grandson's first parade. Should be fun. Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone :)

I have been anxiously awaiting this clip. It looks pretty good. Can't wait to get it :)

I have a pair of handles I use, usually to make a 13 lb. dumbbell. I find some exercises awkward to do with these. If the weight points downard, (like in a hammer curl), the weight of the plate, just feels unbalanced to me. This doesn't happen when I use regular dumbbells. I much prefer...

Hi Jerry, I have it and do like it. I havent' done it in a while, but it is definitely a solid workout. I've also pre-ordered her new Strike Zone workout which she be out shortly. Have you tried any of Kimberly Spreen's Kickboxing workouts? I like hers a lot. Especially Kickbox Extreme.

I am a big Tae Bo fan too. But I agree with those who find that the last few Tae bo workout series, just haven't been very good. When I saw the video clip of the new workouts, I immediately felt they weren't going to be anywhere nearly as good as the old Advanced Lives, or Get Ripped series...

One that I have been enjoying lately is "Budokon" with Cameron Shayne. It's yoga with some martial arts at the end. Some people don't care for him and I would say the video I have is more Basic/Intermediate, but that's exactly what I need right now. The workout moves quickly and the yoga part...

I love them both. Tae Bo and Turbo Jam. I must admit, the first couple times I tried Turbo Jam, I was ready to pack them back up and get a refund. The grew on me once I gave myself more time to learn Chalene's style. I do use my Tae bo form on a lot of the Turbo Jam moves. I just feel they...

I pre-ordered Strike Zone. It sounds like it's going to be a good workout.

Jerry, I would love to take a Turbo Kick class. The closest I've come to them is through my Turbo Jam videos. I watch Turbo Kick classes on youtube periodically and they seem like a fun and effective workout. You are soo lucky to be able to find a class in your area :)

Oops, I apologize. I thought this was the open forum, or I wouldn't have talked about another instructor's workout. Please accept my apology Cathe and SNM.

Hi Nella, Not sure how you feel about Tae Bo, but Billy Blanks has two tapes. Unfortunately, they only come in "VHS". They are called Tae Bo Impact. These are heavy-bag workouts. I bought mine a couple of years ago from Amazon, for about $5. and they were brand new. These are great tapes...

I am currently doing P90 Phase 2, and I use bands instead of a chin-up bar. My workout room really had no place easily accessible to use a chin-up bar. So far I am seeing some pretty good results. I am noticing more toning in my back area than I have ever seen. Not much back flab left at...

I just started the 2nd Phase of P90 classic rotation. I have been subbing some of the workouts. I do the weight-lifting segments as is, but I have been substituting legs, yoga and abs. I just need more variety or I'll never make it through 90 days. I must say after my first recovery...

Thank you soo much for your advise Jerry & Bridget. This is something I've been thinking about, but had no idea where to start. Now I have something to work with.

Hi Everyone, I have a question regarding Kick-boxing Certification. I love kick-boxing and have been thinking about how cool it would be to become certified in it. I would like to try teaching, maybe at a women's gym. I had been interested in a particular kick-box type certification, (I...

These workouts are definitely going to be a pleasure to do :)
