Kick Max workout DVD is approximately 70 minutes in length and is broken up into the following segments.

Warm Up (12 minutes).....A nice extended warm up which will incorporate the basic kick and punches into movement patterns plus incorporate new movement patterns designed to enhance your balance and flexibility.

Kick and Punch Combo's
(22 minutes).....Similar to the format of KPC's segment, you will now do 4 combinations which feature a punching combo combined with a kicking combo. The first combo is more elementary and each one after that will gradually become more intricate to keep you challenged and working hard. As I tell all of my students during these types of combo's "you get out of it what you put in to it" so be sure to really "punch the punch" and "kick the kick" Btw, we'll have our hands wrapped for this segment but this is not required.

Kickbox/Bootcamp challenge
(15 minutes)......Here you will do 10 high impact conditioning drills (some more intense than others). You will recognize most of the moves in this segment since the purpose is to quickly "see it and do it". This segment provides the bonus burn for those who are wanting a hardcore, calorie burning, challenge. Good news for those who are not interested in this segment....simply skip to leg conditioning drills and you still get a close to an hour kickbox workout.

Leg Conditioning Drills (18 minutes)....."OUCHIE", best describes how you will feel during these drills (Don't worry, it gets just a little easier with each and every workout. This segment is designed to shape your legs while enhancing your kicking skills and flexibility. The more skilled and flexible you become, the more efficient your future workouts will be. You will do conditioning drills for the round/side kicks and hip flexor and front kicks. You will also do slow motion side, round, front snap, and front thrust kicks to really get a feel for them. A chair is required for this segment. Stretch.....a 6 minute relaxing stretch will complete this challenging workout.

Music.......Provided by Music Flex and is all instrumental. There is a constant driving down beat behind all of the upbeat songs. We enjoyed the music.

5 of 5 Will work you July 31, 2014
Reviewer: Anonymous Person  
I love Cathe and this is one that will work you. I love MMA/kickboxing so this is right in my wheel house. I love the focused leg work too I felt it has opened up my hip flexors.

3 of 5 Lacks the fun factor July 21, 2014
Reviewer: RedPanda from Australia  
I agree with the reviewer who said this DVD lacks the fun factor. I found the Kick and Punch Combos to be lacking in intensity, so rarely felt energised enough to do the Kickbox/Bootcamp Challenge segment. For this reason, it would have been preferable for Cathe to have spread the high impact conditioning drills throughout the main body of the workout, rather than at the end.

The Leg Conditioning Drills are the best part of this DVD, and effectively condition your lower body for kickboxing.

4 of 5 Easy to follow July 10, 2014
Reviewer: Bells  
I am not that much of a kickbox/MMA fan (don't hate it, don't love it), but this workout does keep me engaged and provides a good workout.  The above write-up is very accurate of what is on the video and there is a lot of variety.  Easy to follow with known moves and great cueing.  Good music beat to "match" your punches.  I add light hand weights and ankle weights for the leg drills.

5 of 5 Excellent Kickboxing Workout July 9, 2014
Reviewer: Susan from MO United States  
Kick Max is one of the best kickboxing/toning workouts bar none. According to my heart rate monitor, Kick Max is the workout that burns the most calories of any workout I own.  I use 1 lb handgrips during the kick/punch combos. The bootcamp section sends my heart rate soaring (in a good way) and the leg conditioning worked my legs at every angle. The entire workout is about 75 minutes long, but there are at least 4 premixes that are under 60 minutes. Cathe, as always, cues well & is professional & upbeat throughout the workout. I used to find Cathe intimidating (well, I still find her intimidating); not because of her attitude, but because she's so GOOD at everything. I feel like I'm floundering like a fish out of water & she's not even breaking a sweat.  Regardless of Cathe's intimidation factor, Kick Max is most definitely a keeper!

5 of 5 The best cardio workout. November 29, 2008
Reviewer: latorichards from NY  
I use this video on days that I want a quick challenging cardio workout.  It is great.  The moves aren't easy.  I really feel the effect of the workout the next day.  This video helps me alot with increasing my lung capacity.  It's worth the buy.
