4.0 out of 5 stars Mix and match your way to kicking butt! November 12, 2005

By Sheri in Reho TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

As with the other DVDs in the 10-Minute Solution series, Kickbox Bootcamp features five 10-minute workouts. You can pick one for a quick 10-mintue blast, follow all five in sequence for a killer 50-minute routine, or mix and match them as you wish to get just the workout you want. The 10-Minute Solution series is all about flexibility-one reason why I own several DVDs of the series. The instructor on this DVD is Keli Roberts. The five workouts, all with some element of kickboxing flavor, are:

Basic Training: This segment is basically "Beginner Kickboxing"-a good starting point for people who haven't had much kickboxing experience; however, I still found it a great workout even though I have been doing kickboxing for about a year. While teaching you the basic punches and kicks that will be used throughout the DVD, Keli keeps your heart rate up with faux jump roping, boxer shuffle, and other cardio moves.

Ultimate Buns and Thighs: This segment incorporates kicks into a lower body workout that includes lunges and plies. The method Keli uses to teach kicking is quite simple and effective. This was a good workout. I didn't feel the burn as much as in the TamiLee Webb "I Want Those Buns!" workout, but then Keli doesn't use quite so much repetition and it therefore wasn't as hard on my knees.

Arm and Shoulder Sculptor: Here we switch to an upper body focus using light hand weights to get more benefit out of the punches. I started with the 5-pound hand weights I use for at-home upper-body work, but had to switch to 2-pounders to keep up with Keli's fast pace. She also does some quick punching sequences in between weight segments. I really liked this workout and, from the look of Keli's upper body, I'd say she knows what she's doing!...

Fat-Burning Blast: This segment definitely puts the "Bootcamp" in the title. It begins (after the warm up) with a very difficult sequence-going from a stand to a squat to a plank (push-up position) to a squat to a stand over and over (and incorporating other-even more challenging-moves as the sequence progresses). Once you get past that sequence, there is a series of lateral agility drills-sliding, jumping and stepping side to side. By far, my least favorite of the DVD.

Washboard Abs: Keli definitely doesn't depend just on crunches here-she does planks, side work and a few Pilates moves as well as crunches to work out your obliques, upper and lower abs. This is a good workout, and I didn't make it all the way through on the first try. That's a good sign, though, because it gives me something to work toward.

Pros:
1. Keli doesn't use the same tired moves as every one else-despite the MANY exercise DVDs I've tried, there were many new moves on this DVD and I loved that.
2. The warm-ups and cool-downs, while brief, are excellent and tailored to each workout.

Cons:
1. There is almost no color contrast on the menu, so figuring out where the "cursor" is and which button you're selecting is very difficult. I found this highly annoying. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Very effective! December 21, 2006

By lisam5305

Format:DVD

I like to do this DVD all the way through, which amounts to about 54 minutes, I think. It is a very thorough total body workout, and with its kickboxing theme, is very good for days when you feel stressed. The instructor is great. She is motivating without being overly perky and she doesn't constantly ramble. She explains each move and you start out each routine very slowly, then pick up the pace. The only thing I wasn't sure about was using the handweights while slowly throwing punches. I've always been taught that's a no-no. The cardio movements also use quite a bit of space, so keep that in mind. I found myself having to make smaller movements so as not to run into walls, which I'm sure cut down on the effectiveness. Still overall a very good DVD, a very good purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars If I could give this 10 stars, I would have June 24, 2012

This video is vicious.

I started doing this video about a year ago, as one of the stereotypical weekend warriors who had every intention of working out 4 times a week but would get sidetracked by shiny things on the floor. I figured whatever damage I could do in ten minutes would be a good start. I mean, that's ten minutes more than nothing right?

Ooooooooh my gawd.

The first time I did this video, I started with the arms/shoulders portion because my legs were, well, horrible and chubby and weak. I thought that some punches couldn't hurt me, because I'm tough or whatever. Within 3 minutes, I was pouring sweat. After five minutes, I turned it off, went and took a shower, and went back to playing video games with numb arms. I lost every game I attempted that night.

About a week later, I tried again. I had one of those "come to jesus" moments in front of the mirror and decided that if I couldn't do the full ten, well then that was just sad. So I turned the AC on full blast, threw a bottle of water in the freezer for afterwards, and powered through the arms routine. I thought I was going to die.

The next time (another week later) I did it again. It was easier but I was still drenched at the end. I upped it to twice a week. Then three times. Then I added another ten minutes. Wash rinse repeat until I was doing three workouts from this DVD with wrist and ankle weights on three times a week, and running (WHAT?! YES - RUNNING! WITHOUT ANYTHING LETHAL CHASING ME!!) two miles four times a week. I've lost 85 pounds in a year. I still have about 20 more I could lose, but yknow what? I'm pretty dang cute these days...

I'm not saying this video changed my life.
But it did....
I'm not saying the instructor isn't just a little bit intimidating.
But she is.
What I'm saying is that if you are ready to make a change and can't stand to watch workout dvd's with cute people in skimpy outfits that jump and shimmy around aimlessly to the worst music they could find, THIS is the DVD for you. Try it once. It's ten minutes. It won't kill you.

(Please note that I am not a doctor - only a medical student - so if you have some crazy fall or pre-existing condition that causes a ten minute workout to in fact kill you, that me saying that was meant as a figure of speech and not as medical advice) Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars After four babies! April 9, 2008

By Audrey Kressig-Witzel

Format:DVD

I am not an exercising expert, but I began with this video 3 years ago after my third child and found it to be intense! I worked out at least four or five days/wk and it took the weight off, kept me interested enough and taught me form and technique.
The instructer in it is not annoying (big factor for me- I want to feel like she is working, too!) and I tried Billy Blanks tonight, making it through more easily than this video. He is ok, but I am here, looking for a new Keli video as I don't find him intense enough after my 4th child and this video I have done enough to do it in my sleep! Keli is the way to go after 3 yrs of kickboxing videos (hey, you try to get to a gym with all of these munchkins :)
She gets the weight off and makes me feel strong.
