Awesome workout!, July 28, 2000
Reviewer: A viewer from San
Antonio, Texas United States
If you want to burn calories and tone up, this video is for you!
There are two 20 minute workouts and an instructional segment.
Even if you are a Tae Bo pro, don't skip the demonstrations! I
have been doing Tae-Bo for some time. I thought I knew what I was
doing! But Denise's demonstrations taught me a few ways to
improve!
The first workout is basic. But you will still burn some
calories and tone up. It is easy to follow, no impossibly
complicated moves to figure out.
The second workout is awesome! Its pace is faster. You'll do
jabs, hooks, side kicks, back kicks, everything you do in Tae Bo.
But Denise makes it go by a lot faster. And the drills don't drag
on. So you don't get bored or overworked on one area. She also
threads the "bob and weave" through the workout. Great
for the legs! I have been sore for days now. There is some jumping
around though, (mock jumproping and jumping jacks) so if you can't
do high impact, I would stick with the basic workout.
Denise is painfully perky. She really likes to motivate, and
say things like "burn that butter." (? ) I suppose that
this might irritate some. If so, just hit the mute button.
Bottomline, if you want a great workout, or just a change from
Tae Bo, buy this video. And if you are weighing this video versus
Tae Bo, I recommend this one. Denise provides better instruction,
and an overall better workout.
Buy it! You won't be sorry!
A decent workout..., June 25, 2001
Reviewer: books4mel from Alexandria,

I have several Denise Austin tapes and enjoy them all. Her talking
doesn't bother me, but it certainly bothers my husband, so I try
to work-out before he gets home!
In this Power Kickboxing routine, you're basically getting a
Tae-Bo work-out for a third of the going rate. Denise gives
instructions on all of the basic moves during the first work-out.
I think her kicks are slightly different than Billy Blanks, so be
careful when doing the combinations.
The first work-out will definitely increase your heart rate, so
you're getting the benefit of a cardio work-out but also learning
some kickboxing moves at the same time. I think this one is more
intense on the cardio side than the second session. The second
session is slightly more advanced with several drills involved.
There are also targeted ab exercises, which is a definite plus. I
have a small area to exercise in, but I'm able to do both
work-outs without knocking any furniture over!
Overall, I think this is a great cardio work-out for people of
medium to high levels of skill. It'll be tough at first, but after
a week or so, you'll know the exercises by heart. I'd also suggest
alternating this tape with an abs video and regular aerobics
tapes. The music is not the best by any means, so you may want to
mute and/or use the radio instead. Enjoy!
