I have cardiokick/circuit max on vhs. I love both of the workouts especially circuit max. Boy does that kick butt. the dvd from what I know does not have any premixes due to it is one of her older workout. I have some of her older dvds and no premixes were on them. But is still has two great workouts and worth getting. I plan on getting the dvd sometime myself.
Hope this helps

Hey Becky! I have these workouts on video but I'm pretty sure that there aren't any premixes. They are nicely chaptered so that you can skip through sections quickly. I love Circuit Max especially. The hi/lo and step portions are excellent and a great workout done alone. CardioKicks is fun also, the first half is like kickbox hi/lo and uses up a lot of floor space. The second half is kick/punch drills with a seemingly endless series of sequential power kicks and lots of other good stuff. I think all of Cathe's w/o are a good addition to any collection and this one is no exception.

The dvd does not have premixes.
Circuit Max is so much fun. Probably the funnest hi/lo in all of Cathe's workouts.
Cardio Kicks is mainly a cardio workout w/a kickbox flavor.
This dvd would be a godd addition to your collection.

We've been asking SNM to chapter this DVD for years. It would be so much better if you could pick the segments you want to do. The possibilities between the two workouts would be endless. The only answer we get from them is that they're not going to do it. :-( These workouts kick butt, but I rarely do them because they're not chaptered. I'm spoiled, I know!
Becky,
I bought "Cardio Kicks/Circuit Max" on DVD exclusively for Cardio Kicks and I love it! It's so much fun! I knew that it was definitely more of a cardio workout than of a kickboxing workout and that's what I was after. (I wanted to add variety to my existing cardio from jogging, step aerobics and "Ropesport" rope jumping). There are kick box inspired moves like roundhouse kicks, jabs, hooks and upper cuts. Cathe tells you at the beginning that this workout isn't intended to improve fighting skills. You'll do jumping jacks, "jump ropes", power hops, knee smashes, grapevines, bob and weaves, scoops, speedbags, icebreakers, and of course lots of cardio kicks! I put some power in my snap and recoils on jabs and kicks and I get one heck of workout everytime. I wore my heart rate monitor one time to see how my heart rate fared and it remained around 80-85% of my maximum heart rate for the most part.
"Cardio Kicks" does use a lot of space but you can modify, like Cathe said. Luckily I have the space, but I've done it modified ( go for height instead of laterality and do big scoops or power hops in place to increase the intensity).
I also love that "Cardio Kicks" is 60 minutes long and I am drenched in sweat by the end.
I do less circuit style workouts than I do cardio and strength seperately, so sorry that my reply doesn't include "Circuit Max"!

This DVD rocks!!! Circuit Max -now THERE'S a workout!}( that's soooooo tough but the time flies. I don't do it as often as I do Cardio Kicks though, even though I like it a little more. Circuit Max is one of Cathe's hardest routines...especially those uneven squats with over the length of the step. Thought it would neverend!! Dag!! Out of breath just thinkin' about it!!
