Blood Type Workout Type O Kick Boxing - Thoughts

Type O Kick Boxing workout is part of the Blood Type Workout System.  The workouts in these series are design for a specific Blood Type. According to the back of the cover,  Type O's "benefit tremendously from brisk regular exercises that taxes the cardiovascular and muscular skeletal systems".

This is the only workout that I bought from the system.  And I only got it because I like kickboxing workouts.  The music is up tempo techno.

So the workout.  It is lead by Patricia Moreno. She is the only cast member.  The set is this cool and clean looking loft apartment - lots of white with colorful accents.

The workout clocks in at around 65 minutes. 
There is a warm up, 4 kickboxing segments using sand weights, a stability ball core segment, and cool down.
Patricia names each of the kickboxing segments but I only caught the name of Segment 2 which is called "Excellence" and Segment 4 which was control "Self Control."
Segment 1 might have been called the "Beginning" and Segment 3 might have been called "Confidence ".
Patricia teaches the combos in a layered approach. She also takes it from the top. After teaching segment 2, she goes back and combines it with segment 1, etc.


While I liked most of the combos, Patricia was annoying. She kept telling us what Type Os "liked", what they "thrived" on,  over and over, she kept repeating how Type O's were made for "intense exercise".  I was like enough already about Type Os. I can only imagine that the rest of the workouts in the series use similar language promoting whatever blood type the workout is for.

The following equipment  was used - mat, sand weighs, stability ball, resistance tube. Patricia would exit the set (out of camera view) anytime she needed  to retrieve a piece of equipment.

I really enjoyed the stability ball abs and resistance tube stretch segments.  Overall, the workout seemed disjointed.
