GI Jabb: Warrior Workout

Katalin Zamiar
Year Released: 2000

Categories: Boxing/Kickboxing/Martial Arts


This workout is one of the more advanced kickboxing workouts in the recent group of videos that have been released by Katalin. The program runs about 52 minutes long and has Katalin in the center with other exercisers surrounding her.

This workout has been detailed by Leela, so I just want to give my overall view on this workout. This is my favorite of all the videos she's done so far; it has a lot of formats combined into one. You have a circuit toning sections as well as interval sections throughout the whole workout. The circuit toning is a series of lunges or push-ups interspersed throughout the kickboxing sequences. Also there are jump rope sections that are also interspersed throughout the workout raising your heart rate toward the anaerobic zone. This gives this particular program a lot of intensity as well as variety. You do something and move on to the next thing. At the end there is a series of standing leg lifts that are basically holding and pulsing various stages of a round house kick as you move between each round there is a set of tricep dips. Then the end has floor legwork and abs. This tape also has the best break down of a jump front kick I've ever seen.

I like the fact that Katalin gives so many pointers throughout the routine as well as suggestions on how to modify the moves that it makes this program approachable by an intermediate exerciser as well as motivating for advanced exercisers.

Instructor Comments:
Katalin is professional and motivating. She has the best form I've seen so far when it comes to kicking and punching techniques in a kickboxing video. She has a great capability to explain moves and to make sure that form is not sacrificed during a workout. I can see Katalin becoming a favorite instructor for many, especially if she continues to produce videos of this caliber.
