Quickfix - Total Cardio Kick

Rating:
Summary: short & sweet
Review: after all those Billy Blanks moves, it was nice to find a lower intensity workout...although, if it's too slow you can work at your own pace and still use the moves laid out in the video...as a cardio kick instructor myself, i was really impressed with all the modifications and the easy transitions...it can be tough to get beginners into a new routine feeling confident in their abilities...i think this video does an excellent job...it's a fantastic instuctional tool...i learned a lot! and do the workout on lower energy days at home

Summary: Cardio for those of us in a rush.
Review: I almost always start my workout with one of these segments. I generally only have time for 20 min a day, and these workouts make me feel like I used the time effectively. I like to follow up with another segment from quickfix total mix: abs, buns, or arms/legs. Great for people like me who aren't hardcore workout enthusiasts, but like to counter a chocolate addiction with moderate exercise. If you are a trained kickboxer this dvd probably isn't for you, but if you just want to get some cardio in a fun and different way you should check out Cardio Kick.

Summary: Great workout!
Review: I am an intermediate level exerciser who usually has trouble with kickboxing. This dvd is great, and Janis Saffell does a great job of cueing and teaching the upcoming moves in a halftime tempo before performing them full speed.

Summary: Must Have
Review: I am health nut and workout freak. I love this workout video. I own probably over 15 workout videos, since I bought this one over 2 months ago, I primarly workout to this one. By the end of the workout I work up a good sweat. The best thing about this video is the instructor she is not too cheesy and annoying. The quick fix work out clock keeps you motivatied by allowing you to see how much time you have left. The music is good too. You will see results with time. I have noticed more leg definition in my legs since I started this routine.

Summary: This DVD made a difference!!!
Review: I bought this DVD based on reviews & I was hooked from day one! Each 10 minute workout will get your heart pumping, I personally like to do all 3 workouts and the bonus workout for a 40 minute cardio workout. After doing this for 3 weeks before I went on vacation, I began to see a difference in my legs and my abs. I hope Janis will release another Quick Fix Total Cardio Kick because this is so much better than Tae-Bo and Kathy Smith Kickboxing workout! This really is easy to follow & you will definitely feel your muscles working.

Summary: Better Than Tae-BO
Review: i have worked out with janis Saffell for a long time and i think she is one of the best instructors out there, she let's you know way ahead of time what she's going to do and she keeps an even count of reps on both sides unlike tae-bo, if you are having trouble keeping up with this program than maybe you should stick with walking because this doesn't even tap into what janis can do .

Summary: Awesome workout!
Review: I was a bit leary at first since each segment is only 10 min. but after doing each segment (arms, lower body, abs), I was sweating up a storm & convinced that this was a great total body workout! It displays a countdown time at the bottom of the screen! I love this DVD, I highly recommend this one! You will definitely get the Cardio/toning workout you've been searching for!

Summary: Good quick workouts- not very challenging though
Review: If you are looking for short cardio workouts this DVD is for you. Each section has a different focus- one for upper, one for lower and one for core. The upper section has lots of punching, lower has lots of kicking and the core section has a little of everything.
I like Janis' instruction and I enjoyed the DVD but it was pretty easy. Each section has its own warmup so if you do the dvd straight through you have to warm up and cool down three times which is irritating. I also didn't think the core section was particularly effective.
This is a great kickboxing dvd for beginners and for light workout days. I was really hoping for more, though.

Summary: Great Cardio Workout
Review: Like the other Quick Fix workouts, I love this DVD. It combines cardio with toning so if you are able to do all 4 segments, you get a great total body workout including the cardio. The moves are not difficult which lends to a better cardio effect. I like to do 2 or 3 segments and combine it with the Arm and Leg workout plus one of the Ab segments from the Quick Fix Total Mix DVD for an excellent total body workout.

Summary: Not intense, but a fun workout.
Review: This DVD has 4 workouts - an upper body, a core, a lower body and a bonus - each lasting 10 minutes. Overall the workouts are low intensity. But I see this as the type of workout you can make more strenuous through modification of the movements. I usually sweat just a little, but this is no Billy Blank's Tae Bo. The lower body and the bonus are my favorite and certainly the more difficult of the 4.

The set and production are good, as is the lead instructor. The music in this workout definitely sounds like video game music (mortal combat), but that makes it fun for me.
