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: Kickmax
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
This workout is excellent but difficult. Definitely not for beginners. The segment aspect kept it interesting and manageable. I do it twice a week but alternate it with less extreme workouts. All in all a good dvd.Customer Review: Kick Max really gets you in shape

Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
I am an avid Tae Bo fan and was looking for something just to break up my routine and after seeing the reviews for this dvd I can't believe I spent my money on it.
Through the entire warm up I felt like I was doing ballet. It was wayyyyy too easy and boring and whereas yes I would recommend it to someone who is a beginner,I honestly hated it. My two year old could do this in her sleep.
Customer Review: So disappointing!
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
I normally love Cathe's videos, but this one was horrible. The kick/punch segment was so basic that my 3 year old could do it. Not even hand weights made this challenging. And you don't breathe heavily until the boring jumping section after the kick/punches. I am sad I can't return it.Customer Review: Barely Raised My Heart Rate; Very Disappointing!

I read reviews here and elsewhere that this is one of the toughest kickboxing workouts. I love Cathe Friedrich and have several of her workout DVD's, and Circuit Max is one of my favorites. I thought for sure I'd love this one: I love Cathe, and I adore kickboxing!
This workout is dull and repetitive. Instead of combos and cardio moves, it is mostly standing in place doing the same sequence over and over: jab, cross, uppercut, then a kick or two, but nothing that is challenging or raised my heart rate.
Thirty minutes into the workout, I had just started to break a sweat. I kept waiting for the intensity I expected, and during a short section of Bursts, it did pick up, but only briefly. Just as I started to sweat, it was time to take it way back down and do the leg drills, which again was standing in one place and repeating one move over and over.
I am very disappointed in this workout. It's far from a cardio workout, and I am not sure how anyone thinks it's tough. I work out most days of the week but am no super-athlete, so much as I'd like to think it's because I'm so super-conditioned, I doubt that is it! It's simply not a particularly tough workout, and definitely not Cathe's best workout.
