I pre-ordered it a while back & it still has it's wrapper on it. It will be a post-pregnancy present to myself.

Not to change the subject from kickboxing, but I notice that she has two kettlebell dvd's, too -KB Dynamics and 3-in-1. Has anyone done those and have an opinion? (the kickbox dvds are absolutely a choice as well, just figured while I'm there.... well, you know
I don't have this, but I know there are others here that do. Maybe someone will see it and comment.
I did this one today and everytime I do it I just love it more. It's just so much fun. I wished she would make more workouts like this that don't make my head spin so much. Too much complexity is not a good thing for me especially when I get home from work and have to figure all these moves out. I think I would buy more of her workouts if it was less mind boggling.

I sing to the songs while I do this workout. I'm sure I look and sound silly but I don't care, it's so much fun
Ellejay, there are several reviews for the kettlebell workout on the VF.
I don't have that one because it's for a more advanced kettlebeller(is that a word). I'm a beginner.

I like Amy Bento. She cuts against the grain of a typical exercize leader. She is not "dainty" -- and just looking at her one realizes they're in for a tough workout.
Cathe won me over kickbox videos. She introduced a more high-impact version to the older, low-impact kickbox dvds (these I did not like). So on the basis of the recommendations on this thread, I will order Amy's new video.

I just wanted to bring in my first review of Kickbox Surge & Core Training. I FINALLY got a chance try it out this morning. I knew, since I don't know Amy's style, that it may take me more than one try so I went into it with that attitude! I struggled on the first combo, so I did it a second time and then a 3rd time! LOL The same with the second combo. So I ended up doing Combo & Surge #1, 3 times and Combo & Surge #2, 2 times. Then the core section, cool down and stretch. I LOVED IT!!!!! I picked up combo 2 much quicker than the first and I was sweaty MESS when I was done. HRM said I burned over 520 calories!
Now, my opinion....it was a nice change from Cathe's KB, which I LOVE. I was just getting tired of rotating the same KB workouts week in and week out. Amy's style is athletic, exciting and dynamic. I LOVED the energy in the combos/surges that I did. LOVED the core work, too, because it was totally different. It reminded me of Tracey Staehle's ab work because it includes standing, lunging, rotating and planks. I will DEFINITELY pull this one out again in a few days and work on the other 3 combos/surges, and work my way into doing the whole workout as produced!
I give it 2 THUMBS UP!!!! Thanks for the recommendation, everybody!

Hi -
On the recommendation of everybody on this forum, I got this workout. This was the first time I ever tried Amy Bento too.
LOVED it!!! It was very fun, and while I struggled a bit learning the combos at first, it came together pretty well.. I can't wait to do this a few more times so that I can really focus on the moves instead of trying to follow them. It was fun, original, and she is a really good instructor to watch.
This is big in my world... I've only deviated from Cathe for P90x in the last decade, so to find somebody I liked is awesome.
I also got the Hi/Lo workout which I'm can't wait to try to based on all of your recommendations.
Thanks again!! Lynn M.
