Weight Watchers PUNCH!

This is just an addition to the rave for Beginner.

This is about Intermediate only.

Basics: Same warmup and cool down are used for all three levels.
Bright set. The kind of gym locker room look we wish we all had.
Backups, one modifier, Kat, from previous WW workout DVDs; then Stephanie and Nicole put the plyo in.
Music is appropriate and perky, nothing you are going to want for your iPod.

A lot of the moves are the same, but presented in different combos with flourishes. This one gives off more of the KICK vibe than a PUNCH vibe.
She adds repeaters, both leg and jabs, in this version.

More squats on this level.

The cuing is fine, but not as detailed. The attitude is "I assume you did beginner or you have done kickboxing before so let's just move," and she does.

That's the thing I like about PUNCH! so far, she is constantly moving. You aren't doing endless ham curls just to do endless ham curls. You do them up, you do them back, do them once again, done.

This did have a little more TIFTing feel than Beginner, but it wasn't the kind of TIFTing that makes you want to push the TV off the table.

There were football runs, more pivoting, repeaters (as mentioned before, both jabbing and knees), squats, speed bags, more lateral movement.

I liked it, I really liked it;).

Instructor Comments:
Stephanie is warm, helpful, no nonsense. You get a whiff of FIRM every now and then, but only in warm fuzzy ways.
