(More customer reviews)Don't be swayed by the reviewer below who claims that the video is horrible and does not raise the heart rate. I am an advanced exerciser (Cathe Friedrich, Amy Bento and Jari Love make regular appearances in my routines), and although I would not call this routine advanced, it is solid intermediate and can provide anyone with a decent cardiovascular workout.
The reason? It's almost pure kickboxing- you get from this ONLY what you put into it! Perhaps the reviewer below is comparing this workout to the hordes of aeroboxing videos available that have you hopping around and doing jumping jacks to get you into an aerobic zone. In contrast, this workout's intensity is derived solely from the power that YOU put into the moves. It is completely low impact, so you get a good workout by punching and kicking powerfully, squatting deeply, and pivoting into your kicks and punches. There is something very empowering about that, and I found that I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Will it top the list of my intense cardio workouts? Definitely not, but I enjoyed doing it, and I found that my heart rate was in its target zone throughout most of the workout. I recommend it to intermediate exercisers in particular, but there's also something there for advanced exercisers. It's a welcome change from the frenetic pace of many advanced kickboxing workouts, in which technique is secondary to intensity.
The criticism I have is that I'm not sure it'll have staying power in the sense that it is repetitive and might get boring if done regularly. But then again, I found the Tae Bo videos much more repetitive and I stuck with those for at least 6 months, so who knows.
