Hi everyone, hope everyone is having a nice Passover and a Happy Easter. My question is, I want another kickboxing with high Intensity but low on the impact which I probally could modify. I was looking at Cardio kick and Powerstrike. Which one would you suggest? I was also looking for something that really doesn't take up too much space to move around but also probally could modify. Thanks:)
 
Hi! Happy Easter to you too.
Powerstrikes do not take as much space as Cardio kicks. But then Cardio kicks is funner IMHO. They are all modifiable!
Have fun!:)
 
No offense to Cathe, b.c I love her to pieces and I love every other video besides for cardio kicks.Its not the workout that I don't like but I don't find it hard enough.Therefor I never do it.
First time I did Powerstrike my arms were so sore and tired it was unbeleivable! Then there are others that don't like Powerstrike.In my opinion I like Powerstrike better,I have all 3 of them.#3 is my favorite.
Hope I helped.

That's interesting... I feel the opposite from Lori about CS and PSM. I save Powerstrike for my 'light' kickboxing days and I really have to be feeling pumped to do CardioKicks because I find it challenging. The only Powerstrike I've tried is #3 and I like it also.

I guess I'd say they are both good workouts and YMMV.
 
I've got CK and have had all three Powerstrike ML. I traded #1, it was okay but #2 is my favorite. I haven't done the 3rd one yet, but I've previewed it. It doesn't look as much fun as the 2nd one either. I love CK but it higher impact, takes up lots more space than the PS.
 
Hi. If you want low impact and something that does not take up a lot of space, get Powerstrike 1 or 2!!! (3 is too easy)

I had to trade away Cardio Kicks. My knees and feet could NOT take it at all. NOr did I have the space, which is very frustrating. Powerstrikes give you a good bit of intensity without jarring your knees. I really like 1 and 2. I wouldn't be able to decide between the two. 1 if you like more punches, 2 if you like more kicking. 3 if you feel like sluffing off for the day. ;)

To add to what others have already said, if you are looking for a workout that has more authentic kickboxing form, go for Powerstrike. If you want a kickboxing-flavored cardio workout, go for CK. PS seems more like a series of drills, which I really like because I can work on form.

I like them both, though PS takes up less room. Illaria and Patricia are very precise about form, both teaching it and demonstrating it.
 
Thanks everyone. I think i will go with CK for now just because of the cardio, but because everyone likes each one with different feedback I will get powerstrike also. Well here I go again, I have to go get my cc again:D I had to edit because I forgot to ask where is the best place to get powerstrike? I heard alot of nightmares of going through powerstrike.com. Thanks agian.
 
You'll love cardiokicks! That was my first cathe tape - now I'm totally cathe tapes! It's a lot of fun too!

Let us know how you like it!
 
I tried Powerstrike M3 again the other night after doing CK and I started to likeit more. My obliques got quite a workout from the warm-up and I really like that Ilara!!!
 
I've seen Powerstrikes listed on Ebaby. I lucked out and got one of mine there. I was going to order from PS but the shipping was outrageous. Then I found one of fitprime.com. the swap. Check out the exchange at videofitness.com and maybe you can luck up there and find one.
 
Hi there,

Could someone tell me what kind of music they have on the Powerstrikes 1 & 2 tapes? (just general style)

Because music really motivates me in a workout, I am just curious as to the style on these tapes.

thanks~!
