5.0 out of 5 stars The Best and Easiest to follow Kickboxing aerobics Video, October 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Kick to Get Fit [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have been to several different aerobics classes, and I have also purchased a wide variety of exercise videos in the past, but Kick to Get Fit is by far the best exercise video and workout I have ever done. Rich Grogan goes through a terrific instructional section that shows you how to do each technique properly, he also tells you what muscle groups you are working ( A BIG PLUS), because I often think I know what muscle groups are being worked, but I am not for sure, but Rich lets you know. When the workout begins Rich tells you to go at your own pace, just like most other videos, but Rich goes a step further by showing you different ways of doing each technique and continually reminding you that this is for you and " Go at your own Pace". Rich truely has a martial arts background and he understands fitness & safety, and he knows how to bring them together in a SAFE, and EFFECTIVE manner. All the techniques and movements in this video were done in a controlled way, and for the first time doing an exercise video I actually felt the correct muscles being worked, at no risk to my joints. I guess the best part about the workout was Rich's ability to keep my attention with neat, and different techniques that I hadn't seen before, and the controlled manner in which all the techniques were performed. This made the workout Safe and Fun. ( Something that is hard to find in most other videos, whose main goal seems to be, Go as fast as you can, and the heck with control or proper form or fun.) I 100% recommend Rich Grogan's Kick to Get Fit to anyone from beginner to expert. The workout works the muscles it is supposed to and does it in a very fun way. I use his video almost daily & I look forward to his next video.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great exercise video for the family, July 2, 2000

My family and I have tried a wide variety of different exercise videos, but the problem we run into is there aren't many videos that we can do together as a family. We have tried Tae-Bo, and Knockout workout, mostly because of popularity, but no one in the family could do either one, the people in the videos just moved way too fast. Then we found Kick to Get Fit, and I am happy to say that this is now our family workout video. Rich Grogan show different ways of doing all the movements, so all of us can do the video at the same time. We have family exercise night 3 days a week. This is our way to spend family time together, and get some exercise in at the same time. My family and I really enjoy the time we are exercising together, and are enjoying even more the weight and inches we have lost. I have lost 15 pounds, and my pants and shirts seem to hang off of me, instead of sticking to my body. My wife has lost 22 pounds and 2 pants sizes, while my 3 daughters have all lost weight, and look alot healthier. I am very happy with the way our lives have changed, and I think that others would benefit from this video the way we have.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, April 2, 2004

I have done countless other workout videos, and I have studied martial arts for years. I bought this video hoping for a martial-arts-oriented hardcore aerobic workout with motivating music, but without the complicated dance moves or Barbie-doll instructor. I'm not exactly sure what I got...

First of all, the quality of this video is TERRIBLE! It appears to have been shot in Rich's basement. He has about 6 people trying to do the workout in a 2-square-foot area. I got claustrophobic just watching them.

There is no choreography whatsoever. The entire video is just Rich counting out sets of 8 basic kicks over and over. For this type of thing, I'd rather just do it on my own with my heavy bag, and listen to some decent music while doing it.

The music is what finally made me stop the tape before the end of the workout. Apparently, the music was not playing while they were filming, but was dubbed in later. He does not stay with the beat. After doing choreographed aerobic workouts for so long, I simply couldn't handle this. I tried to stay with Rich, but my body kept trying to stay with the music. It was intolerable. I suppose that with practice, you could learn to ignore the music, but why bother when there are so many other quality workout videos?
