CIA 2203: Boot Camp Plus Cardio Kick-it

Terrie Reeves
Year Released: 2002

Categories: Boxing/Kickboxing/Martial Arts


This tape is 2 workouts back to back. The first is the kickboxing workout for 35 minutes. It features 3 kickboxing combos, with moderate complexity. Each combo ends with a pylometric jump move. Terri's format takes you through each combination about 4 times. Which is overkill to me. Particularly since these weren't hard combinations to learn. They were however somewhat intense, particularly once you get to the plyometric moves. Her two assistants however, had no clue what she was doing, were not exactly inspiring to look at and were very distracting since they kept making the same mistakes I did. If you do not like your instructor making lots of weird noises (yelling and whooping), then you probably will not like Terri because she does a lot of it. I thought it was appropriate for the moves we were doing though. I love to yell "HUH" when I kickbox!
Next is the bootcamp part....I really like this part. She features several plyometric combos and core strength exercises that are really tough. This portion of the tape is 25 -30 minutes and is very tough, particularly if you have done the entire tape through.
I really liked Terri's style, although I was turned off by it the first time I viewed the tape. The tape will give a great workout with more athletic moves (less choreography).

I would rate the tape a B. I would have given it higher marks if she had better assistants and if she hadn't repeated her kickbox combos so many times.

Instructor Comments:
Terri is very enthusiastic and fun. I am hoping she will make more tapes because her personality is great, her moves are not too complex and she is fun to workout to. Wait until you see how high she jumps on the plyometric moves and kicks her legs during the kickboxing moves. Her flexibility is out of control! Definitely fun to watch (oh I mean copy :) )
