Kettlebell Kickboxing DVD 1 Power - Thoughts

Kettlebell Kickboxing Power is part of the Kettlebell Kickboxing Scorcher Series with Dasha Libin.  There are four workouts in the series. These are my first workouts with Dasha and the one thing that I can say about her is she is chatty.  Non stop chatter. Non stop talking.  However, you can tell she is well trained.  Her form and execution are both excellent.

Power is the first DVD. The DVD describes this workout as Arms, Glutes, Inner Thighs and Obliques. It is divided into a series of 5 minute circuits. You do about 4 exercises back to back for about a minute each. You then get about a minute break before moving on to the next circuit. Dasha integrates Kickboxing with Kettlebells, sometimes alternating the two. I actually thought the workout was light on Kickboxing.

You are working at your own pace. Dasha has four cast members in the workout with her and each of the ladies are working at their own pace. There is a person doing beginner modifications using a dumbbell. Another person doing advance moves. One person is working barefoot.

The workout contains several sets of burpees or squat thrust. This is really the only thing that I did not like about the workout. What I love about the workout was the length. The workout clocks in at 35 minutes and that includes the warm up and cool down and you get a pretty good workout during that time.

The DVD allows you to select the workout with music, without music and without a warm up and cool down. The workout also has a timer in the upper left and it has subtitles that tell you what exercise you are doing.
