I heard about Budokon in an article about Courteney Cox, who of course has lots of bucks to get personal attention from Cameron. I was perusing DVD Planet and saw it and decided to give it a try.

My first impressions during preview were OH MY GOSH, I'm never going to be able to do that kick, holy cow, are they kidding? You soon find out that the advanced moves they show in intro are not part of the workout itself.

20 Minues of Beginning Yoga, followed by 20 minutes of Martial Arts (not mixed as you are slightly lead to believe)...followed by a few minutes of meditation. Today was my 2nd time to do the entire workout, and I felt challenged. I am a beginner-to-intermediate exerciser and still working on my upper body strength. The Yoga has a few challenging poses (mostly the planks for me) and the poses are held just long enough, a minute longer and I'd have fallen down. The martial arts are "doable". I come away feeling strong! You can also choose to do the "pose guide" and the "short workout" which I believe doesn't have the commentary. It just goes straight through each pose.

I believe you would have to be a person who enjoys yoga and/or kickboxing type workouts to like this. If you don't enjoy either, you probably won't like this at all.

Instructor Comments:
Cameron is a hotty. Oh, wait, you wanted to know about the instructor. Yes, ok, he cues well and explains the moves. I found him pleasurable, even during meditation.
