Description of Cathe Friedrich's Kick Max DVD
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.Sports reviews of Cathe Friedrich's Kick Max DVD
Customer Review: Intense, effective, and fun!

I love this entire workout, but wanted to include a couple quick notes on my favorite segments: the KICKBOX/BOOTCAMP CHALLENGE and the LEG CONDITIONING DRILLS ...... First, KICKBOX/BOOTCAMP CHALLENGE. Here you'll do 10 high impact conditioning drills (the "bonus burn"!) for those who are wanting a hardcore, calorie / fat 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. I never skip this part, though--it's too fun, and way to effective. Talk about calorie burn! This is TOTALLY my favorite part of the workout--but butt is kicked by the time I'm finished! Gotta love that! :)
And about the awesome LEG CONDITIONING DRILLS . . . well, I'm used to doing the typical leg workout of squats, lunges, etc, and use heavy weight (at least a 40 lb barbell) so I didn't think this segment would challege me. HA! I was wrong. These drills have totally enhanced the muscle structure of my legs. I've definitely noticed the change--and am definitely pleased beyond belief at the change. I've even used 5 lb ankle weights to add to the segment (*GULP!*). Talk about "OUCHIE" Love it!
Customer Review: A really fun kickboxing workout

This is my favorite Cathe Kickboxing DVD. I like the different sections, e.g. kickboxing routines, high impact drills, leg conditioning and a stretch.
What I enjoyed about this DVD:
**the strong beat of the music helped me put more intensity into my punching and kicking.
**the uncluttered set and minimal background exercisers. Jai and Lorraine join Cathe for this workout. I love watching them both; they are very fit and have meticulous kickboxing form.
**the variety. It's nice to have 30 minutes of kickboxing, 15 minutes of high intensity drills, 15 minutes of leg conditioning and a stretch. I can get tired of kickboxing, but I don't with this variety.
**it's intense! I know several other reviewers said they didn't find it intense enough and I usually agree that Cathe's kickboxing workouts aren't that intense. But there is something about this workout; I use one pound weighted gloves to up the intensity.
I recommend this DVD to anyone wanting a fun and challenging Cathe kickboxing workout.

This is a fantastic and tough kickbox inspired workout. Wow it will have you sweating. Cathe is one of the best cuers out there and so you know ahead of time what's next. You need good instruction here because you are so busy huffing and puffing and sweating, you don't want to have to worry about your next move before you need to. It's one of the most challenging kickbox workouts I've ever done.
It's broken up into three segments. You can either choose one only or two or if you are in the mood for some tough 'punishment' then you can do all three together for the most effective workout. It's about 75 minutes all up, and let me say - this ain't for the faint of heart. Do not make the mistake of thinking you can get through this if you are new to exercising. Even for more advanced exercisers, you'll find this tough - but in a good way.
Customer Review: Kick Butt Workout
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This work out is awesome! The first time I did it, I did all Combos and the Blasts (about 50 minutes). The Blasts were incredibly challenging and intense, but they went fast (about 15 minutes I think). The combos are mostly upper body and not as intense but very fast and fun. The choreography may be challenging for some, but I was able to pick it up after watching just a few the first time. I think it gives the video more variety. My legs were on fire for days! On another day I did the leg conditioning drills...these are slow paced but very effective...your legs burn the whole time while you're doing them. These also are practice for different kicks in kickboxing. I consider myself to be at an intermediate/advanced level and I love this workout.Customer Review: Challenging and fun!!!

I have been exercising with Cathe's workouts for about six months. In that time I have built muscle, strengthened my core, and shaped and toned my body. Kick Max is another great Cathe workout. I love the challenging kickbox combos and the intense bootcamp blast challenge. I did this workout from start to finish and it is intense! The instruction is easy to follow and Cathe explains clearly her technique and how it will benefit your body. I plan on ordering more DVDs from Cathe. You will sweat during this workout, but you will feel your body getting stronger the more you do it. Cathe makes it fun.
