I LOVED THIS WORKOUT!!
Are you sure it was only 30 minutes of cardio? It kicked my butt! I felt that this was the kickboxing equivalent to Gin's Simply step. The moves are very basic, and it is easy to follow...no complex combinations. Jabs, uppercuts, hooks. Front, side, back and crescent kicks, shuffles, jacks...nothing out of the ordinary. It was simple and easy to pick up the first time through, but my heart was racing and I was sweating buckets. I consider myself to be advanced at cardio, and I felt I was worked thoroughly. (Though I wish it was longer.) Although the workout is very intense, the moves are introduced gradually and become more advanced, so it would be easy to modify to any fitness level. Those of you who enjoy dancy, complex choreography may not enjoy this DVD. But if you want a short, intense, no nonsense full body workout I would highly recommend it.

There were a few times when I felt the cueing and the music were a little off, but this did not bother me. Since the workout is more drill-based rather than dancy, it was still easy to follow the routine.

Instructor Comments:
Guillermo has a very serious, no nonsense style, without coming across as cold or harsh. I really liked him.
