I love Cathe's kickbox videos as well. Some others that I like that you might like as well are Janis Saffell's CIA 9809 - Kickbox Express and CIA 9907 - Kick it!, Sherri Jacquelyn's CIA 2K03 Kickbox Jam. All three have drill sections, choreography sections and toning sections. 9809 also has a jumprope section. With all of them it is easy to do the sections alone or together. If you like Cathe's kickbox workouts you will probably like the drills & choreography sections of these workouts.

RE: Thanks, Loretta!
Actually I think Collage carries all of them and you might check G&R Video (www.gandrvideo.com) and the CIA website (www.ciavideo.com) just for price comparisons. Every once in a while CIA has really good sales.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Nov-23-00 AT 02:48PM (Est)[/font][p]I really like CIA 9907 - Kick it! It's got a 8 minute warmup, then 30 minutes of kickbox drills, 36 minutes of kickbox choreography, 30 minutes of what they call sculpting work (some standing, some floor), then 6 minutes for a tai chi cooldown. The standing part of the sculpting section can keep my heart rate elevated, especially after doing the other sections. She does a lot of standing kicks & balance work. The video is really easy to split up if you don't want to do the whole thing.
I just got CIA 9809 and 2K03 recently so I've only done each one a couple of times. In Kickbox Jam they do a similar sequence of sections (warm-up, drills, choreography, sculpting, cool down) I like the combos and it will probably become one of my favorites. The sculpting section is done with tubing but I used dumbells and they worked just fine. I can't remeber the exact sequence of 9809 but it has some jumprope sequences. Both times I did it I skipped (no pun intended) the jumprope sections because my heart rate was going down & I figured I could spare my feet the pounding. The sculpting section is very up tempo so it kept my heart rate up. I also did the drill section with 1 pound handweights and that really increased the intensity.
Another tape that you might want to try is CIA 9902 - Kick butt combat. Keli Roberts is a kick! and her form pointers are great. I really like the sculpting section in this one.
Good luck finding more tapes that you like.

I know no one thinks of Kathy Smith as being for advanced exercisers, but I think both her Kickbox video (which is also on DVD now with 2 levels) and her Aerobox videos are really tough and fun. Both are taught by other people for the most part, a professional boxer and kickboxer and they're both really cool. But the Kickbox tape is on par with Kickbox from Crosstrain Xpress in terms of intensity; lots of kicking and punching drills and you really get tough cardio work. And Aerobox is a trip, too. That's heavier on upper body, more punching and jump-rope segments (which of course you can do without the rope.)
So, just keep those in mind too.
