This cardio kickboxing video is aimed at fitness instructors, trainers, and advanced exercisers. Eversley Forte first explains and demonstrates the moves you'll use in the workout, showing the correct form. Because the video is geared to instructors, he shows what can go wrong with each move as well as how to do it right. Forte and his team (men and women, all impressively competent and usually deadly serious) teach an intermediate-to-advanced workout using first hand-elbow combinations, then knee-kick combinations, progressively moving to more advanced routines and combinations. Forte doesn't just do the workout himself; he interacts with the other demonstrators and points out technique. One demonstrator shows low-impact and lighter-intensity variations throughout.

If you're a home exerciser using this as a workout, you'll sweat plenty and use muscles you didn't know you had. If you're an instructor or trainer, you'll learn both technique and choreography from a master instructor. This is a valuable video for anyone who enjoys cardio kickboxing and wants to improve technique while getting a hot workout at the same time. --Joan Price

Product Description

The Cardio Athletic Kickbox Instructor Series I video is geared to group fitness instructors, trainers, and advanced home exercisers looking for new challenging ideas and choreography to incorporate into their classes or personal home workouts.

The video starts with a demo of the jab, cross, hook, upper cut, front kick, round kick, side and back kicks. Proper form is shown as well as tips for injury prevention.

"Lets Play Hard, but Lets Play Safe" is the theme of this challenging and energetic kickbox video. Backed by an adrenaline pumping music soundtrack, Eversley and his team take you through an intermediate/advanced workout which is taught as he would instruct his real life Master Classes. No punches are pulled and the format of Eversley's 'live' classes is maintained for the complete feel of the Cardio Athletic Kickboxing workout. All combos are done from a fighting stance to create a more natural feel and flow. Hand/elbow combinations are introduced, followed by knee/kick combinations. These are then combined to create more advanced routines. Even the most advanced combinations in the video are cued to perfection, explained, and presented so even beginner/intermediate exercisers can follow. One team member is dedicated throughout the workout to doing low impact and lower intensity variations on all of the combinations and athletic drills.

Expect a 'flood' of new ideas in this teriffic calorie and fat burning total body workout.

The Cardio Athletic Kickbox Instructor Series I video is a must have for fitness enthusiasts, instructors and trainers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Packed! - No getting bored with this one, May 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Cardio Athletic Kickbox Instructor Series I [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Cardio Athletic Kickboxing Instructor Series video is absolutely packed with ideas and new moves. Eversley Forte, the instructor in the video, says that nothing is held back. From what I can tell, that is absolutely correct. This workout is advanced and will challenge anyone who works out to it. The combinations are easy to follow, but the intensity is outstanding. Low impact options are shown during the whole workout. Instructors will be able to get lots of interesting ideas for their classes and those looking for an advanced home workout that gets them sweating will also love this workout. The movement of the people, style of teaching and choreography, visualization, and incorporation athletic drills really make this video stand out from ALL others I have seen. I am a group exercise instructor and based on the video am looking forward to doing a "live" workout with Eversley Forte the next time he is comes to the Boston area.
