Summary: Give me a break!
Review: I am sorry, but this was one of the WORST workout videos I have ever tried!

Lets forget the fact that there is basically NO warm-up. The instructor is beyond annoying and the only thing I felt that was anywhere NEAR worthwhile on the tape was the abs workout. A return ...for me...

Summary: Good to Start Out With
Review: I bought this video before ever trying kickboxing at a gym. This is a great video to start out with. I still use it as a filler workout on the days I don't do the NordicTrack followed by free weights or go to the gym. The video is pretty easy to follow. The drums are different, but the beat is good and you do get used to them. Tracey motivates you to keep going. I don't feel as if I am getting a great workout now and I am looking for a more advanced video, perhaps one with some bag work included.

I would recommend this video to someone who is just starting out.

Summary: Too "dancy" and complicated; not very intense aerobically
Review: I didn't like this kickboxing video.It seemed more like "kickdancing".I have done the Kathy Smith kickboxing video, and prefer it by far to this one. This has a practically non-existant warm up, and no instruction on technique (proper body stance, pivoting on foot when cross-punching, difference between side kicks and roundhouse kicks, etc.) It seems more of a workout for a dancer pretending to kickbox.The complicated moves don't even make it as aerobically intense as it should be.The cueing of which foot to use or which move comes next is truly horrible.(Even some exercisers on the video can't follow the moves!)Pass up this one!

Summary: Uneven workout
Review: I enjoy this workout, but I can see problems with it. There isn't much of a warm up or cool down. There are three different cardio sections and an ab section. There is no cool down for the cardio sections, so you go from a high heartrate and then it starts another section with tai chi. There are also times that Tracey is off or does the wrong move and it could be confusing.
Besides that, I really like the moves and it gets my heartrate up, I can get over the other things and warm up/cool down on my own.

Summary: Good to Start Out With
Review: I first started with Tae-Bo due to all of the infomercials and it truly looked like a great program. Don't get me wrong I really enjoy doing Tae-Bo and Billy Blanks is a very inspirational instructor but..

Jab, Kick, and Burn is more dancy and better choreographed than Tae-Bo. I find the exercises are easy to learn and the instruction pretty good. Another benefit of the video is that it is broken into 3 different intensity segments each about 15 mins in length! If you have a hectic life and have to exercise in a hurry, this is the video for you!

Summary: Lots of fun & a great workout!
Review: I found this video very easy to follow with correct technique and lots of fun choreography which kicked my butt. The instructor (Tracey Mallett) was very energetic & motivating, I hope I get to see more of her! Three 15 minute segments which you can mix arround depending on which intensity you want to work at. I like the ab section which is inspired by Pilates, the exercises have really helped strengthen my torso. I think there is too many people in the back ground .

Summary: Fun, fun, fun
Review: I, for one, am sick of the same old boring aerobics. I use the Method tapes on a regular basis and I use this particular tape frequently. It's a great break-away from the usual Tae-Bo moves. Great choregraphy, cuing, music, and I love Tracey Mallett. Fabulous workout.
