Stephanie Steele's Knockout Workout is a basic kickboxing workout. "Basic" does not mean easy. While the variations of punching and kicking she puts you through may not be complex, you will feel it both aerobically and in your muscles. If you maintain a deep stance (knees bent) during the punching routines, your legs will let you know they're working as hard as your arms.

I like this video a lot, but have to feel very self-motivated to do it, as Steele's no-frills style doesn't give that added push. Steele is no-nonsense and to the point. She gets down to business and gives you a great workout, but if you need constant, "Hey, gang! Lookin' good out there!", she may not be for you.
