kickmax

[lala1]

Got my 11 DVDs on Thurs and this was the first one I did. It was GREAT, really FUN and a great workout! And I finished it ALL! Actually didn't pay much attn to the music, was concentrating too much on making it through, but the music to the last leg conditioning drill was great!

Hi,
How do you think this workout compares to KPC?
Are you gasping for air during this DVD? Is it very high impact?
Thanks for your input!

I think it's more kickbutt than K,P,C. I love K,P,C but I don't find it that intense -- mabye because I do a lot of the older Tae Bos. I DO find Kickmax intense, it had me dripping. I love the blend of combos, blasts, and drills -- the combos are fun, and you can really work on form and tightening your core. The blasts have you breathing hard, the drills leave your legs shaking. There ARE some really high impact moves in it -- a long series of jump-tucks and a bunch of airborne jumping jacks. There does seem to be greater focus on the legs than arms (which appeals to me), but you can add weighted gloves to the first two parts to make it more intense in the arms. I think weighted gloves in the warm up would be a really good addition, in fact. Okay, that's my two-cents.

I think overall it's more intense than KPC. The first section of combos has some fun moves and the blasts are just that! They had me breathing hard. I really felt the leg conditioning drills and liked that addition--it helps with my form.
