Kick Max Question

[Fitnessfreak366]

Cathe, are there a lot of side kicks in Kick Max? I have SO much trouble doing those and my back usually hurts when I get done with a kickboxing workout due to the side kicks. I'd love to get this one, but not sure I should. I have Cardio Kicks and KP&C and every time I get done with one of those workouts, my low back and hip area hurts for days. And its not a good pain, its bad pain.
Thanks in advance!

I'm not Cahte, but I know what you mean, but what helps me is to slow down the movements and not aim to kick as high as Cathe does. The intensity remains the same and you get the same benefits. Hope that helps.

You can always sub round-house kicks for side kicks, too. I also agree with kicking lower.

I have stayed away form kick workouts for the same reason but I of corse bought all the DVDs and will definitely give this one a try with these suggestions I may be better at it then before because I have been working the core alot and I think that may help we shall see

Hi Debbie! A couple of the combo's have side kicks, but I agree, if you keep your kicks lower you may be more comfortable with the workout. Good Luck!
