Hey Shelley!

[endorphin_junkie]

Where'd'ja get the Powerstrikes? I was looking for it on CK Sales site to no avail. Is it contraband or can I get in Canada?

Is it similar to any Cathe stuff, is it cardio, is it drills, what's the fun factor, is it all of the above, is it none of the above..answers Honey, I NEED ANSWERS}( :7!.......so many questions, I know, I know but as you well know we get very excited about the prospect of new ways to challenge ourselves.

Okay, I concede, I've got far too much caffeine (and endorphins) in my system.:+

Thanks for any and/or all answers

Nice to see your feeling the warm fuzzies. Cold pricklies SUCK!

Not Shelley here but are you a Canadian?
I have all 3 Powerstrikes (did they release 4?) Anyway, if they only released three then I have them all I don't do them very often but they are a great workout.You will be sore the next day.

BUT...you must be warned that the making of these workouts aren't like Cathes.The quality is not the best, nor is the music.If you can look past that then you will enjoy it, but I know alot of people have trouble doing a workout when the music isn't that great.They pretty much play the same song over and over.

And I did get mine through Cksales, but I do remember seeing them onsale which makes me think that they probably discontinued selling them.

Hi Laurie!

Lori is right, the production values and sound quality SUCK, but they're so good I'm willing to overlook that. I really like the two instructors.

However, I have a sinking feeling that they've been discontinued because I can't find them anywhere. I don't think the first two were ever available on DVD, the third one is, but I don't have that one and I hear that it's not nearly as good.

They are more akin to doing a Cardio Kickbox class at a karate studio than doing a Cathe kickbox workout (or any other kb workout I've ever done at home). They are mainly composed of kicking and punching and some blocks, put together in tough combinations. There isn't any dancey stuff, few jumping jacks or cardio of that ilk, but they kill my lats more than any other kb workout I've done.

I hope you have luck finding them because even though they don't LOOK great, they are amazing workouts.

Shelley, the thing I liked about the 3rd one is that the music is a little better.Thats about it, other then that, I think your right, I don't think the 3rd is as good.But when I did them in the past, I would always reach for the 3rd one b/c of the music.

Laurie, I tried to PM you but it keeps coming back as undeliverable. Can you PM me with an address that I can reach you at?

Thanks for your replies Lori and Shelley, now you've really got me jonsin' for them! I can look beyond the poor quality if the workouts are good. Lats DOMS don't come easy}( I prefer the Classic Kickbox style, when I lived in Belleville I used to go to a class taught by a code 3 hottie military airborne guy, he used to kick our butts with that kind of work and we loved it!

Too bad I missed the clear out at CK Sales, now it's all about the thrill of the hunt!

Thanks again!

Take Care
Laurie

I'll PM you now Shelley
