Hey LauraMax

[JenL13]

I was reading the gym vs. home post & saw that you really like kickboxing-I love it too and just wondering what ones you have found that you like that are comparable to the intensity of Cathe's w/o. I have KPC and Kick Max and Powerstike 1 & 2. Just curious what you have & like.

Thanks!!!

Hey Jen--my favorites are Cathe's KPC & Kenpo X (I don't know if you could legitimately call this kickboxing--it's more like karate but lots of kicking, punching & core work). Amy Bento's kickbox extreme is an incredibly intense cardio workout although her form & sequencing leaves something to be desired. But it is a lot of fun & you might even say it's even more intense than Cathe.

I must confess I almost never do KM. For me it's just not enjoyable, & the one thing I love about kickboxing is the fun factor.

If you try these please let me know what you think!

Have you ever tried Kick Max by doing the blasts first, then the combos, then the leg drills? I read it from someone on here once so I decided to give it a try (since like you i didn't like it as much as produced) and by making that change I like Kick Max a lot better-granted not near as much as KPC but better than the original.

I did have Amy's kickbox routine but it was too complex for me to take the time to learn, I like basic routines so I have it to a friend. I just ordered Tracey's new kickbox on preorder, hopefully I'll like it.

Have you tried Powerstrike 1 & 2? I really like them and they get me sweating more than KPC does, especially #1.
