Kickbox Strike Zone

This was the kickboxing workout that I have been looking for. I have tried almost every kickboxing workout ever made and my two keepers are Janis's Kickbox Express and Dawai Cardio Kickboxing. This workout is about an hour long and perfect for people who don't have a lot of time for exercise like me. This video combines cardio and strength workout all in one. The cardio segment is fun and invigorating. There is a segment of paddle work that she also demonstrates how to do this alone without a partner. When I do this segment I can work on precision and strength in my kicks and punches which I feel is more important that going faster for the sake of raising your heart rate (plus I think it is safer too). The ending segment of strength training is mostly focusing on the buns and legs and isn't to bad. By using hand weight throughout the video (except the paddle segment) I really felt it the next day in my lats which I usually don't work that hard so it is a good strength workout as well as cardio. There is more cardio in this tape than in the Yin Yang video so I will use this tape on days I want to work harder. I really recommend this tape for anyone wanting to really improve their skill in kickboxing because this tape will do it.

Instructor Comments:
I love Janis. She is my all time favorite instructor. She is friendly and motivating without being too silly. She is serious about kickboxing and her pointers and suggestions confirm this, in my opinion. She is obviously having a lot of fun in this video which helps me to enjoy it more too.
