Year Released: 2006

The workout consists of:

CARDIO: 34 MIN.
KICKBOX 32 MIN.
BUTT/LEGS 13 MIN.
STRETCH 7 MIN.

This DVD is well chaptered for you to customize your workout. Whether a long workout or short or just lower body work.

I found this workout to be on the high intensity side. I would rate this intermediate to advanced. I say this due to the amount of high impact you could do here. The whole workout flowed beautifully. I kept my heartrate up the whole time. There are areas where you are able to modify high impact moves.

The music was great! It was also loud enough to keep you moving. It worked great with both the aerobics portion and the kickbox segment. The music did get lower for the stretch segment which was letting you know to wind down now.

The aerobics segment had uncomplicated moves. Which allow you to just flow with the music. However if you are not used to high/low impact aerobics you might find this challenging. But by the end you will have learned it and be sweating buckets. It is a sweatfest. It was so much fun. Definitely a workout I will do often. The time just flew by.

The kickbox segment was great. Easy to follow but intense. I felt as though I was toning my whole body. This was a very empowering workout. I loved all the moves every inch of me felt this workout. I was having so much fun, the time just went by without me noticing I was working hard. This workout as well, I can see doing often because there is no dread factor just fun fun fun!!!

The butt/legs section was a good quick toner. It consisted of many lunges, squats and balancing poses. These balancing poses I found to be very good. This is because I rarely do them in any other workouts so I did enjoy them.
I however, would not use this lower body quick workout on a regular basis as my main lower body strength routine. I prefer weighted lower body workouts as my main source. But it was a nice quickie after the other two workouts. Not that I felt like doing this after the other two workouts. I was so exhausted by then.

COMMENTS:

I loved this whole workout. I can see doing the two cardio workouts very often. They are so much fun and energizing. The music and Kimberly made the time fly by. The workouts really flowed well with smooth transitions. I would do this everyday if I didn't like step workouts so much. This is a great addition to my step workouts.
The lower body segment I don't see myself doing that often. Only because I prefer weighted strength workouts by Cathe, Jari and others. This is definitely a KEEPER for me. This workout kept my heartrate up the whole time. I will be working out with this DVD for quite some time. I am so glad I bought this workout.

Instructor Comments:
Kimberly is very motivating and energetic. She instructs flawlessly. As an observation: she looks like a young Geena Davis as well as Jennifer Garner.
