This workout is responsible for my current interest in kickboxing. I found it very "approachable" and Stephanie is encouraging and cues well. I almost felt like this is what Leslie Sansone's Walk & Kick should've been (a very basic, easy-to-follow kickboxing workout). That said, there were some instances where I had to stop and find my bearings because I'd gotten off track...this was not "mindless" cardio for me...I had to pay attention.

The 3 workouts are very similar, and increase in length as you advance in level. All 3 workouts share a warm-up, which I have to say is one of my favorite video warm-ups ever. She really does a good job with it, it flows well.

All this said, I did not keep this video. While the workouts (I did Beginner and Intermediate) were good, beyond the first try they began to feel very, very repetitive. There were a lot of repeating of lengthy sequences on each side. There is also one incredibly excited-to-be-there background exerciser and I have a hard time looking past things like that.

Instructor Comments:
Stephanie was encouraging and gives clear instruction.
