Turbo Jam vs. Cathe regarding kickboxing

[upperwests]

Let me begin by saying I LOVE CATHE!!!!!!and am becoming addicted to her workouts. Prior to using her workouts, I used the Firm for a few years and then got into Turbo Jam (just the cardios, not Chalene's sculpting workouts). I have KPC and Kick Max, but I don't find the kickboxing combos to be much fun....and I sort of miss the "fun factor" that I had with Turbo Jam's kick boxing. Would love to know others' opinions!!!! I really like kickboxing so maybe you could recommend other workouts for me...I don't like Billy Blanks though because I can't stand the constant counting.

It sounds like you like 'choreographed" kickbox-flavored workouts more than authentic-feeling kickboxing (exactly the opposite of me!). You might want to try some Janis Saffel (especially earlier workouts, which are more choregraphed).

You probably would NOT like Powerstrike.

You might like Amy Bento's Kickboxing workout. (you can view clips of it on www.collagevideo.com ).

I love Janis saffell. She has the fun factor in there and has lots of kickboxing combos that I think you'd like too.

What is Turbo Jam like? What instructors are in those programs? I am not familiar with it.

I agree that Janis Safell is fun and I enjoy her kickboxing workouts, particularly Kick It and Kickbox Express. But since I did Cathe's KPC, I find Janis' workouts pretty easy.

Amy Bentos Kickbox Xtreme is more choreographed with great music and is a blast.(imo). YOu might like it but there is a big learning as compared with Cathe. You can watch a clip on her website and do search for her on here.
