5 of 5 Tough! April 16, 2025
Reviewer: Lorrie from Massachusetts  
I don't have a bag, but I still get a great workout.  The videos  are filmed  on a rooftop with the Philadelphia  skyline from the north as the backdrop. The workouts are about 45 minutes long. The format is basically the same for all. They start on one side with  kicks and punches using the  bag with a few sets of  exercises like, squats, lunges, burpees, push ups, etc in between the bag sets. There is a break halfway through, and the same sequence is repeated on the other side.  Workout 4 has fewer kicks, and more calisthenics for the legs. Workout 5 makes up for the lack of kicks in # 4.  I did these 2 workouts after leg day, and my thighs were screaming.  There is not a lot of talking in these video. Some parts seems to be re-used, and instructor does not mirror cue. There is no warm up and the cooldown is the same for each workout.

5 of 5 LOVE THIS!!!!!!! April 5, 2017
Reviewer: RosieG from Stephens City, VA United States  
I started doing Cathe workouts a couple of years ago and loved her kickboxing workouts. She has a couple with heavy bag sections that I wanted to try. I got a Wavemaster stationary bag for Christmas and used it with Cathe's workouts and now this is my new love. I have found workouts with Beth Morrison who designed them for this bag and now I have this series. I did the first one today and loved it. I especially like the end with the punching. I do have to modify the burpees. I am addicted to heavy bag workouts. They are hard to find but worth the effort. Thank you Mary for offering this series. I am going to love it!!! I already loved the first one!

I have finally gone through all five workouts and they are great. I still had to modify some of the aerobics because of knee issues but I feel fantastic. If you love kickboxing don't miss this series! I wish she had more! I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. If this old woman can do them anyone can!

5 of 5 A must-have for heavy bag owners! July 10, 2014
Reviewer: RedPanda from Australia  
As other reviewers have said, this is a great set if you have a heavy bag.

Merle Silver has designed these workouts to make them very easy to follow. She's aware that your back will probably be towards the TV when you're working over your heavy bag, so she calls out all the moves. There's also an inset box on the screen which previews the next move, so you're never lost.

These workouts always go by so fast and leave me sweaty and feeling good!

5 of 5 A Keeper!! July 4, 2014
Reviewer: Stephanie from United States  
I will never get rid of this set!  This is probably one of my top workout DVD sets ever.  I love heavy bag work, and this set not only provides great boxing workouts on the bag, but also works your other body parts as well. This is such a great stress reliever, and for me, nothing tones up my back and shoulder like boxing.  This set makes working out challenging and fun.

5 of 5 LOVE LOVE LOVE! August 28, 2013
Reviewer: 5PugMom from Dublin, CA United States  
This workout is awesome. It's definitely challenging, but doable. I have had my heavy bag sitting outside forever, and just didn't really have anything to use it with. Punching and kicking on a bag versus a regular kickboxing type dvd, where you are just air punching, is a totally different experience. It really takes it to the next level. I feel ZERO stress when I am done with a dvd from this set. It must be that "Zen" place that people talk about! The DVD's get progressively harder in the set. I don't think I have ever been this drenched at the end of a workout. And I have done a ton of workouts. This is a bit of an investment, but SO worth it. And a side note...the shipping from this site has the fastest shipping EVER!!!
