Criss Cross cardio has left me on the fence. I cant decide if i like this workout or not. I am an advanced exerciser, who works out to Cathe and Mindy. I love their athletic style and how they kick my butt. Criss Cross Cardio had potential but didnt get quite where it could have been to make it really advanced. The warm up is decieving because its really fast paced and gets your heart rate going. Its about 8 minutes long and then you start the actual workout.The kick box cardio portion clocks in , together with the warm up, under 45 minutes so its a pretty short cardio workout. She starts off with basic punches and jacks and moves on to build up more punch combinations and turns them into combo's. There isnt a lot of kicking and she talks and makes you march for long counts in between. This made my heart rate drop and took away from the workout. Her cueing was a little off at times, but there are moves that everyone has seen before in kickboxing workouts. Overall its an ok workout - I like Sherri. She has two exercisers with her who keep up with what she is doing. The choreography is not hard to follow at all and the music is pretty good. Nothing memorable, but not as bad as some workouts i've done before.
After the cardio portion comes the Brazilian martial arts inspired caoperia. Its about 20 minutes long. She teaches you four moveswhich are done on each side and then you do them all together three times. At the end she does a challenging move that is pretty fun and made my arms shake a little.
I guess i'll hang on to this workout and use it for my light effort days. I would recommend Cathe's kick punch crunch for a great overall kickbox workout.
