Editorial Reviews

From the Actor
Eversley believes that all fitness levels should be accommodated in a workout and be entertained at the same time. This is one of the biggest benefits of Cardio Athletic Kickboxing over other home DVD workouts. All combos are done from a fighting stance for a more natural feel and flow. The combinations are more challenging, but they are broken down and cued to perfection. This makes the workout very easy to follow.

Product Description
"No Holds Barred" says it all about this challenging and energetic Cardio Athletic Kickbox workout.

This DVD is for the intermediate to advanced exerciser looking for fun new ideas to kick their fat burning cardio workout up a notch. The DVD is set up so you can easily go to the warmup, instructions on the moves and safety, or really get your adrenaline pumping by going directly to your favorite of the three cardio workout segments.

Even the most advanced combinations in the DVD are cued to perfection and presented so all exercisers from beginner to advanced can easily follow. One team member is dedicated throughout the workout to demonstrating low impact and lower intensity variations on all of the combinations and athletic drills.

Eversley and his team together with a pumped up music soundtrack will take you through a dynamic workout taught as he would instruct a "live" Cardio Athletic Kickboxing class. Expect a 'flood' of energy and new ideas in this terrific calorie and fat burning total body workout.

The VHS release of this DVD is entitled Cardio Athletic Kickbox "Instructor Series I".

1.0 out of 5 stars amateurish, unskilled rubbish, August 12, 2004

By	titania 299 (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews

Being English I have seen my fair share of terrible exercise dvd's as Britain is the home of the bad exercise dvd. However this is the worst piece of tat I have ever seen. The instructor has no idea how to kick or punch and the routines are poorly constructed. The other people in the DVD also have no technique whatsoever. I bought this DVD as I have many of Billy Blanks taebo DVD's and also Kathy Smith's kickboxing workout, these are excellent workouts and I was hoping to build on my collection as the DVD promises to "really get your adrenaline pumping" and give you a "dynamic workout" I was sorely disappointed. I can see no benefit whatsoever in using this DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Challenging and finally something fresh, August 13, 2004

By	Barbara Nall (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

I have done each of the Cardio Athletic Kickbox workouts and also several others. The No Holds Barred DVD challenges you with more advanced combinations, drills, and directions of strikes. Just like in the other videos, each part of the combos which include kicks, punches, elbows and knees are broken down into simpler segments, then put together for the full advanced combination. By the 2nd or 3rd time you do the workout you will be totally jammin. For 30-40 minutes of Cardio, there is a lot of combinations and athletic drills packed into that time. If you are easily bored, the No Holds Barred DVD will keep your attention. The instructor did a segment where the group was circling around him while 2 others demonstrated high and low impact punching jacks in place. This was definitely the first time I have seen a segment like this on a home workout. This workout is definitely for people looking for something fresh and also physically challenging. As in the other Cardio Athletic Kickbox videos, the movements are modified for safety reasons, but are perfect for people like myself who workout at home. The DVD is also has chapters so you can go directly to the combo you want to do. Plan on sweating and have fun with this DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST VIDEO WORKOUT!!!, October 23, 2008

By	R. Knafo (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Let me begin by saying this is the only workout video I have ever been able to both follow and stay interested in from begining to end. It's cheezy as can be and keeps my friends and I entertained, working out and leaves us utterly exhausted. Ditto the other comment on the how the video is layed out, the combinations, etc. It's an exciting challenge and a great workout which is what I am looking for in a home video.
