Guillermo Gomez Kickboxing Cardio Burn- Thoughts

Image
Kickboxing Cardio Burn is about 62 minutes in length. The warm up and cool down are about 5 minutes each. This workout is pretty good. To be honest, I was dreading it. I thought 62 minutes of triple jabs, knees smashes and vsteps , I am going to go crazy. Yes there are triple jabs and knee smashes but no vsteps . This workout has more variety than many of Guillermo's other workouts. Although it only features one combo that Guillermo builds up throughout the workout. So even though you think you are done with the combo, Guillermo keeps coming back to it - all the way until the cool down. There is a decent lower body kick section, that feature knee smash, front kick, crescent knee and then the roundhouse. There is a lot of repetition, mostly drill based. Double jacks, jump ropes. speed bags, criss -cross are some of the moves that show up between learning and doing the combos. The choreography is very basic and easy to follow. The soundtrack that Guillermo uses is full of ene...

Guillermo Gomez Kickboxing Cardio Dance - Thoughts

Kickboxing Cardio Dance . This DVD contains four sections. They are: Tutorial - ~8 minutes Cardio Dance - ~ 34 minutes Martial Fusion Bootcamp - ~17 minutes Cooldown - ~ 10 minutes The dance in Cardio Dance. You have mambos and you have grapevines into a a spin. That really is all the dance there is. Guillermo does do a V step and step touches which you can make "dancey" but both of these moves are staples in his other workouts as well. As far a kickboxing - triple jabs into upper cut and a knee smash. That's it. The Kickboxing Cardio Dance does have a warm up that contains some stretching. Martial Fusion Bootcamp has a little bit more kickboxing. Jabs, Cross, Upper Cuts and Roundhouse kicks. Jump ropes, jumping jacks, squats, and push ups all show up in the Boot Camp workout as well. Both workouts are simple and very easy to follow. Not a favorite. 2 & 3/4 stars

Guillermo Gomez Rockin' Body - Thoughts

Image
Rockin' Body is about 65 minutes long if you do the whole workout. The menu chapters are: Warm Up - ~ 8 minutes Rockin Body Cardio - ~37 minutes Bonus Toning Abs - ~10 minutes Yoga Stretch & Relaxation - ~10 minutes The Rockin Body Cardio section contains 5 sets of moves strung together for a mini combo. The moves are taught in the layer approach with the right and then left lead. I was kind of annoyed with the combo because none of the moves featured any kicking at all. The only thing done with the legs was a knee smash - I believe that occurred in the 4th set of moves. At the very end of the workout, Guillermo puts in a set of drill based front kicks. The moves used in the combo are very basic. There are lots of reps. Starting with set of 8, then Guillermo cuts it in half and does sets of 4, then he cuts it it half again with sets of 2. It is not a bad workouts, there just isn't a lot of variety and not a lot of thinking to do. The bonus toning and abs section is do...

Guillermo Gomez Martial Fusion Cardio & Flexibility - Thoughts

Image
Cardio & Flexibility is a 30 minute workout. The first 10 minutes is the warm up, the next 10 minutes features a MMA combo, and the last 10 minutes is stretching. Mmmmmm. I don't know what to say about this workout. The workout felt very very basic to me. I was almost bored with it. The workout felt longer than what is was. It was repetitive without being interesting. Some positives of the workout are you do get a decent stretch and Guillermo cues well. The workout is also very easy to follow. Even so, I don't think I am going to be doing this workout too much in the future. I give it 2 stars out of 5 stars.
