I'm particularly interested in descriptions of the power drills on each of these workouts, AND the CardioPower (I think that's what it's called) premix that combines KB and BC.

Speak to me, ladies and gents. Speak to me gently. I'm not getting mine until tomorrow night and will not be able to preview them until Friday p.m. at the earliest.

this is a preview from Marcy:
Hi Ladies!

I managed to preview Kickbox, Boot Camp and Bis & Tris.
She did Bis & Tris in 4 rounds.
Round 1 - Dips
Seated Tricep Extensions in pyramid style:
15# - 12 reps, 20# - 10 reps, 25# - 8 reps, 30# - 6 reps
Bis -
Hammer Curl with a Twist - 10#, 12 reps; 12#, 10 reps
Traditional Curl - 15#, 8 reps; 20#, 6 reps

Round 2
Tris
Lying Tricep Extensions (2-6 count)
35# barbell, 8 reps; 8# dbbls, 8 reps 2-2 count; 3 partial sets (go down, then bring them halfway up 3x, then all the way up
Bis
Crazy 8s with 35# bbl - 8 reps 2-2 count, 8 reps from bottom to halfway up, 8 reps to top and then a slow 8 count all the way down.
Reverse Curls - 12#, 10 reps

Round 3
Tris
Dips with feet on ball and butt on step
Pushups with hands on high step
Bis
Seated Incline Hammer Curls with a Twist laying on ball - 12#, 12 reps
Double Arm Seated Hammer Curl sitting up on ball

Round 4
Tris
With Band - 1 arm press down - hold band across chest and pull down to leg (I think it was 12 reps) Pulses of 7 for 4 sets
With the same hand that was pressing down, that hand will be doing kickbacks, other foot stands on band, 2 sets of 7 count pulses; repeat on other side
Bis
Hanging Concentration Curls (tabletop position, one hand resting on step) - 20# dbbl, 12 reps
Wrist Curls - 10#, 16 reps

Whew! I think I covered it all. I think this looked like a good workout although I'm surprised she's still doing 12 reps although I like the pyramid down from 12-6 reps. It is heavy weight training but I also thought it was going to be more like S&H and it seems to be a little more like Gym Styles.

Bootcamp:

Shuffle Jumps
Power-ups on step and run around step
Lateral Skaters (she puts weights down, 2 are about 3 feet apart and then 3 more about 2" apart), you skate wider each time
Straddle shuffle with step (vertical) - fast feet shuffles and travel forward with straddle shuffles
Lateral jumps
Running Suicides - Put weights at other end of the room and run to get weights and bring them back to starting point (work at own speed)
Recovery Run - Run with 4 high knees and turn, go back other way
Lateral Suicides - Low shuffle touch and then shuffle back other way (work at own speed)
Band hops - Place band on floor and jump front, back, front, front and back, front, back, back and turn
Butt kicks (these looked like fun - these were in the clip) - stay on inside of step with hands on step and jump back and forth over step
Zig-zag jumps - zig zag through your weights and turn
Drop pushups - Run wide (like football drill) and then drop down for two wide pushups (I don't remember how many times this was done)

Kickbox (fast techno music):

4 jabs
2 jacks front, 2 jacks side
Jack and front kick, jack and side kick, jack and back kick
Shuffles in a V
Jab, cross, reach, pull (on ground)
Jab, cross, reach, pull (with a jump)
Tap front and back
Tap back, knee smash
Hammer down, knee smash
Knee smash, jump to hammer down
March
Jump with heels together
Jacks with speed bag arm
Tap side to side
Tap, roundhouse kick
Front kick jump with 3 marches
Jumps with speek bag arm, kicks forward, jump back and jump while pumping your arms up 2x
Shuffles
Jabs
Jab, cross
Jab, cross, jab
Upper cut, hook (slow & fast)
Jab, cross, jab, hook, upper (with left arm), hook, upper (with right arm)
Grapevines
Torso twists
Fast jabs in horse stance

I liked Kickbox and Boot Camp, both fast-paced with techno music. I like the butt kicks in Boot Camp.

Cardio Power Premix is simply KB WU and KB cardio followed by BC cardio and BC CD & Stretch.

While I feel meh about the kickbox workout, BC looks totally awesome!

Good review Deanie!!

bootcamp is cool, I enjoyed previewing it. Some of the drills are space hogs though. This is the only one I have previewed so far.
