5.0 out of 5 stars Tough going - but worth sticking it out ;-P, March 29, 2008

Amy Bento is such a good instructor. She's tough but encouraging and friendly and makes you want to work. This routine is more for advanced exercisers, but intermediates will find this a great challenge.
She combines aerobic favourites with high intensity bootcamp and kick boxing moves. Your heart rate will be up there fast and long time. The one thing I really loved is that the choreography isn't too tough to follow so it's easier to follow the moves and get the job done. There are your usual repeaters, jumping jacks etc and then you might add arm movements to make it more intense. They are all mixed in with the bootcamp and kickboxing portions and so it basically never lets up. Her energy is what helps keep you going. It's very infectious. I also love the music here and that helps you out a lot too.
If you have some dumbbells, then you're good to go. It's tough but worth it and while I've only done this three or four times, it definately gets a little easier each time and I can't wait for the day I can do it without stopping. Again, she is a great instructor and this is sure to give you results.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating...but worth it!, June 17, 2009

This is one tough workout! Talk about sweating...this one will do it, as well as raise your heart rate BIG TIME...I hit 190.

There are 4 hi/lo combos and some cardio combos really frustrated me. She does the moves (which are extremely fast & includes pivots) with little instruction. After I do this workout a few more times, I am confident it will get much easier! In addition to the cardio, Amy does combat, kickboxing, and bootcamp moves that keep you moving!!!

Here's a list of some moves used in this DVD: grapevine movements, kick ball changes, repeater knees, pendulums, lunge chop - kicks, cross punches, chasses, rope, jump shot, pivots, arabesques, mountain climbers, speedbag, mambo, crossover sqauts, round house kicks, high kicks, shuffle touch ground, crescent kicks, jabs..as you can see it is a workout packed full of intense moves =)

The weighted core section (use 5 or 8 lbs) starts with some standing core work. On the floor, some variation on side plank moves, all while holding one weight. Straight leg, tucked legs, and lift up with both weights....tough, effective core work!

Amy's All Cardio Hi-Low Knockout Workout is geared for intermediate to advanced exercisers! I highly recommend this - it is quite challenging =) Those with knee problems probably should stay away from this one.

This is one of my favorite cardio workouts, and I have so much fun doing it! Amy's style of hi/lo aerobics is an athletic one, and you will really work with this one. For comparison, I own almost all of Cathe Friedrich's cardio workouts, and this is tougher than many of Cathe's.

The workout is broken down into four hi/lo aerobics sections, and each one has a kickboxing interval at the end of it. Amy also doesn't give a lot of breakdown in her cardio workouts, so you have to be patient in learning this one, and use your pause and rewind button a lot. It took me a few times to get the choreography down, but, once I learned it, it's great to not have those constant breakdowns. This one also doesn't require quite as much space as her Hi/Lo Xtreme workout.

The music and energy on this are so great that I often tell myself that I'll only do two segments, but then I end up doing the entire workout since I'm having so much fun. Amy's fun personality definitely shines through!

Highly recommended!
