This is an overview, as I did not take
notes when doing the workout. Triple
Threat consists of 3 workout segments:
Cardio Kickboxing, a med ball
workout, and a yoga/stretch workout.
Each segment is approx. 30 minutes.
I have not tried the yogo workout yet,
so I will only comment on the first 2.
I enjoyed the kickboxing segment. I
consider myself to be advanced with
cardio, and I often modify up. I would
consider it to be intermediate to higher
intermediate. I used my tae bo ball
throughout & felt a good workout. Had
I not, I think it may have felt too easy.
The moves are typical kickbox
punches & kicks, but Kimberly's style of
instruction makes them seem more
enjoyable. The routine is at a good
pace. (not as fast a Tae Bo Get Ripped
Advanced, but fast enough to feel
challenged). The production quality of
this workout, especially the sound, are
quite poor. It appears to have been
recorded in the aerobics studio of a
gym, which may be part of the reason
why the sound is so bad. (trying to
compensate for the echo?) This was
very disappointing, but its not bad
enough to keep me from doing the
workout again.
The med ball section was good.
Kimberly's instruction is still great, and
she hits just about every muscle group.
It seemed shorter than 30 minutes, and
at first I didn't feel that I had worked my
muscles hard enough. BUT...i did
have DOMS in my arms the next day.
The sound is better in this portion.
All & all, I liked the workouts and really
liked Kimberly as an instructor. Too
bad the production isn't better!
Instructor Comments:
I love kimberly's style. She's very
"polished" and does a great job
cueing. I look forward to doing more of
her workouts!
