I was very dissapointed in this video. It was the first time I had ever seen a boxing workout informercial, and I thought it was a great idea. Who better to help us get in shape than those who are always in the best shape, boxers and kickboxers! Unfortunately, Leonard spends zero time teaching us boxing technique. He just jumps right in and you have to struggle to keep up. He gives you no warning that he is about to move on to another step, he just switches gear suddenly, and sometimes the camera is not focused on his upper body so you can't see what the new moves are. And, by the time I felt like I had the move down, he would quickly move on to another one, as the workout got harder. Pretty soon, the workout got so complicated, I was just standing there staring in frustration. Billy Blanks dedicates an entire tape of his Tae Bo series to technique and form before getting into the workout. Leonard expects us to already know how to box.

Instructor Comments:
Leonard is not an aerobics instructor and it shows. He is very nervous and unsure. During the exercises he says things like "Remember to breath," and "If you need to, remember to drink water." Not exactly the wise old man on the hill.
