? For Donna/Gettin Fit@39.......

[Bernard]

Hi Donna,

I have just been browsing through Cathe's suggestions bit, and read your recent request for more kickbox. So what I am wondering is, please could you tell me which are your favourite Kickboxing workouts (with the exception of Cathe's CKs and KB) ?

Thanks Donna ! :7

Hi Anna,

I tell you what I have in the non-Cathe kickboxing workouts:

-All 3 PowerStrikes Millenium Series

-Tae Bo "Get Ripped Advanced" 2-pk set

-Tae Bo Advanced & Tae Bo Basic Workout

-CIA Cardio Strike Zone + BootCamp (an odd little workout!)

-Aaron Lankford's PowerKicks

-Gilad's Cardio Strike & Cardio Blast (1/2 kickbox and 1/2 hi/lo)

Now, from CIA on down is more intermediate level kickboxing, but they work for lighter days in a pinch! And Gilad's videos barely count as kickboxing, but they're better than nothing and great to add on to a lower body weights day. (IMO)

PowerStrike and TaeBo are the only advanced level kickboxing I own other than Cathe's which is why I'd LOVE another kickboxing workout from her!
I'm always on the look out for good workouts should anyone have any suggestions, but it's hard to find a style I really like. I LOVE both Cathe and Billy Blanks, but I'm always open to try new workouts as long as they're intense. I HATE to waste money on bad videos!
Which is why I label the CIA workout odd. It's not bad, just a little odd, as it's kickboxing with a flavor of athletic other stuff?

Thanks Donna,

I have just recently bought the CIA Cardio Strike Zone, and I think it is OK. I always turn mine off before the Bootcamp bit Terri Reeves has some energy, doesn't she ? I also bought the Debbi Burns CIA tape too, and I like that one as well.

I was hoping you might mention the GI Jabb tapes ? I wonder what they are like ?
As I can comfortably do Cathe's kickboxing, do you think I would be able to manage Mr BB ? Even at advance level ?

CK Sales also sell another Kickbox tape by Debbie Burns, called Boxing Body T*K*O, I have been wondering what those are like ?

Are you tempted by Billy Blanks's new Ultimate series ?

Wouldn't it be great if cathe did a Kickbox series ? WOW, I am drooling at the thought !

Hey Anna,

Listen, Cathe is the top of the mountain in workouts, so once you tackle Cathe, you can handle anybody else! So yes, you're ready for Billy, but you have to take him at a pace that is comfortable for you and safe for you.
For instance, I still baby my knees a tad, even though taking a Glucosamine-Chondroitin supplement has improved their strength and flexibility 100%, I still don't like to take chances, so I slow down the speed of his "power kicks" to a single kick time. I just modify him as needed just as with Cathe. But he's one intense dude! I still get winded as heck during the workouts and I've had them for quite some time now! But you're ready!

I've often thought about Debbie Burns workouts as well. How does she compare to Cathe?

And I've wondered about those same G.I. Jabb workouts as well? Maybe we'll get some feedback.

And I considered the "Ultimate Series" but for some reason I have it stuck in my head that it wasn't cardio but body work? Like non weighted conditioning for certain body parts? If I'm wrong and there is cardio included I'd love to know it, but somehow I got the impression it didn't have any cardio.

Hey, Guys. I was just reading reviews re: the Ultimate Series at Collage today. You're right, Donna. Seems several folks think that it's not 'enough' cardio. Like it's not an intense cardio ... more sculpting cardio?

I like CTX Kickbox and would love a couple more 30 min kickboxing tapes. I know that there are some Tae Bo 30 min tapes, but I can't seem to find them for sale without the rest of the set. :-(
