Jillian Michaels Kickbox FastFix

3 fast workouts
This DVD contains 3 fast paced and high impact workouts. Jillian Michaels works with 6 other lean and toned ladies, doing boxing and kicking moves. The first two workouts are fairly easy to follow, with the third workout containing challenging and more complex moves. There is also a tutorial.

In all workouts, each exercise is done for about 30 seconds. Ms. Michael moves fast and you do need some space to move your body and kick your legs. The workouts got my heart pumping and my body sweating. Finally, as others have mentioned, both sides of the body are not always worked evenly, (but I think that's normal in regular kickboxing, where one side is more dominant than the other).

Here are the time outlines.

Workout 1 (20:59)
Workout 2 (20:47)
Workout 3 (21:57)
Tutorial (14:25)

Here are the breakdowns for the first two workouts.

Workout 1 is the only workout which uses a pair of 8 pound dumbbells. Each round is...

Another winner!
I bought this DVD at Target yesterday and did Level 1 (Upper Body) and Level 3 (Abs) this morning. I found them to be challenging but also kind of fun (and fun isn't usually a word I use when describing a Jillian Michael's workout lol). It was nice to see Anita and Natalie from 30-Day Shred again too. These workouts really are only 20 minutes each but as usual Jillian doesn't waste a single minute. You get a good blend of cardio (mostly kickboxing obviously but there are also things like butt-kicks and suicide runs) and sculpting (rows, flies, headbangers) and the time flies by. Some days I just don't have time to do a long workout but now with these I don't really have an excuse because they are only 20 minutes each! There were some exercises in the Ab workout that I've never done before which is always a nice surprise. I am a huge fan of Jillian's workouts and this one is no different. I highly recommend it!

Update 3/8/12: I did Level 2 (Lower Body) this morning...

It didn't disappoint!! Good kickboxing workout!
I've been waiting a while for this to come out, and I have to say, it didn't disappoint!

I love Jillian's Cardio Kickbox workout she did a while ago so I was excited to find out she was coming out with another one (I love to kickbox). I'm pretty picky when it comes to kickboxing because I want to sweat. A lot of the DVDs out there aren't bad for beginners, but I don't really sweat. I need a challenge.

I was very pleased with this workout. She has three 20-minute workouts. Level 1 works on upper body, Level 2 on lower body, and Level 3 works on abs.

Even though I did Levels 1 and 2 together, I was sweating already after Level 1.

Just a warning though; some of the moves are a little complicated. If you're just starting out, make sure you check out the tutorial on the DVD because I had some trouble following some moves/combos (although they weren't impossible or anything).
