Cathe Friedrich's Kick Max DVD

Superbly cued, it's the toughest kickbox program ever. You get three distinct segments — do any segment for a targeted workout or all three for an “extreme challenge.” You'll start with a well-sequenced, well-choreographed cycle of classic kickboxing moves (e.g. jabs and punches, kicks and shuffles). That's followed by high-impact aerobic/anaerobic plyometrics (e.g. jumping jacks, air jacks, tuck jacks — Cathe seems to spend more time in the air than on the ground). Finally, you'll totally fatigue those tired leg muscles with a series of kickbox toning exercises. The DVD's “premix” feature also lets you do pre-selected, shorter versions of the workout. ©2005.

Kick Max is an intensely advanced kickboxing-inspired workout consisting of the following segments: Warm Up, Kick and Punch Combos, Kickbox/Bootcamp Blast Challenge, Leg Conditioning Drills and Stretch.

The four Kick and Punch Combos feature a punching combo combined with a kicking combo designed to enhance your coordination, flexibility and endurance. The Blast Challenge consists of 10 high-intensity, mostly kickbox-oriented drills, which burn serious calories and condition the heart. The Leg Conditioning Drills will shape your legs while enhancing your kicking skills and flexibility. It is recommended that you do this workout two times per week or supplement it with your other cardio workouts.

DVD has chapters and premixed alternate workouts.
