Susan Chung Rapid Fire 4 - Review

Rapid Fire 4: Sweat is Susan Chung's fourth workout in the Power Optimizing Workouts Series.
In Rapid Fire 4, Susan gives you a warm up, 3 kickboxing rounds, 3 boxing rounds, core-ab segment and a cool-down stretch segment. The workout is just over 72 minutes.

In the warm-up, kickboxing, and boxing segments, Susan builds up each of these segments by starting with basic moves and then layering on additional moves until you get a combo.  You will do all of these segments  twice through; once leading with the right and once leading with the left.

Susan starts off teaching the kickboxing rounds with  punches and then she adds the kicks.  At the end of each kickboxing round, there are leg intensifier drills.
In the boxing combos, Susan started off teaching the moves half time for the first few reps but then moved into full tempo or at the beat of the music.; At the end of each boxing round, there are plyo drills.

Speaking of the music, it is contemporary dance club mix.
Susan uses weighted gloves in the kickboxing and boxing segments and dumbbells and a mat in the core-abs section.

Susan's DVDs always come with tons of options and Rapid Fire 4 is no different.
The DVD menu gives you the following choices:
Introduction
Play Workout
Pre-Mixes
Customize Your Workout
Chapters
Credits

There are four premixes:
Kickboxing  Mix @ 49:30
Boxing Mix @47:15
Susan's Favorite Mix @ (1:12:30)
Boxing Mix No Blasts @ 43:30

I really like this installment in the  Rapid Fire series. The combos are fairly unique. I also like the way Susan cues.  She always gives you advance notice of not only when she is adding on but what she is adding on.
4 & 1/4 stars
