Susan Chung Rapid Fire 3 - Thoughts

Rapid Fire 3:  Rock Steady Rock Hard is a 65 minute workout if you do the whole workout.  I did not do the whole workout.  I skipped the section on Weights. The other sections of the main workout I did do.
My favorite part of the workout is definitely the blocks of Kickbox Combos.  There are four blocks total.  Within each block, you execute the moves on the left lead and then you repeat executing the moves on the right lead.  Each combo included kicks, punches, and intensifier moves such as plyos.
The tabata section was okay. Susan takes you through a series of four moves done twice through. You switch the lead leg second time through. You are doing 20 seconds of work with a 10 second break. There is a clock that pops up during this section.
A set of weights are used in the abdominal section.  This section was okay.  Lots of oblique and lower ab work. The ab section is about 10 minutes.
The DVD is well chapter.
The top menu is broken down as follows:
Introduction
Play Workout
Pre-Mixes
Chapters
Bonus Heavy Bag
Credits
Music:  On/Off

If you select the Chapters options you get a further break down of:
Warm Up
Block One
Block Two
Block Three
Block Four
Tabata
Weights
Abdominals
Stretch 

There are tons of pre-mixes.  Two pages worth.  All total, there are 13 pre-mixes.

Along with Susan, there are four other cast members.  One member of the cast is doing beginner modifications and one member is doing the more advance high intensity type moves. Susan mostly keeps it at the intermediate level.
There is a Bonus Bag Segment and Susan is solo in this part of the workout. I didn't do the Bonus Bag Segment. The Bonus Bag clocks in at 14 minutes.

I am giving this workout 3 & 3/4 stars of the blocks of kickbox combos.  I like those a lot.
