Not for meJan 11, 2010
I couldn't get into this workout. It was too weird, and I couldn't get my coordination right or something. Might work great for other people, just not this one!

kickbox with Patricia MorenoAug 31, 2009
I've been kickboxing off and on for years. I had read the reviews and was hesitant about ordering the kickboxing with Patricia Moreno but I will tell you she's the absolute best! I had been doing Billy Blanks for years and while he's quite fast and good I found this one to be well cued and effective. I didn't expect to be sore but first time I was sore for 2 days. She is repetitive which makes this so effective because you spend a lot of time concentrating on the move and not how fast it can be executed. Thumbs up all the way!

Simple yet effective.Jul 17, 2009
This was my first workout with Patricia Mareno as an instructor, and I have to say that, overall, I am very pleased. I tried this workout yesterday, and was impressed with how easy the moves were, but how she really keeps the energy going with these simple moves. There are four main workouts on this DVD, as other reviewers have already explained, and they are all very solid. Here's the breakdown:

The good:

1) This is a nice cardio workout for the most part. It is low-impact (no jumping or plyo moves), and it is nice to see a low-impact workout still raise your heart rate effectively. If you're in reasonable shape, this workout isn't going to make the sweat pour off you, but that doesn't necessarily mean the workout isn't doing what it should.
2) Moves are simple, for the most part, and easy to pick up.
3) The emphasis on the core and how to correctly hold your core was very nice to me, and told me a lot about why I developed some injuries in the past in my lower back. Instruction on that was very helpful.
4) The instructor takes the time to show you a slower form of the move first, and actually lets you practice the move before she speeds it up.
5) I was feeling this workout all over by the time I went to bed--it really works your entire core, if you listen to her instructions on what to do with your belly, shoulders, etc. Great workout if you want to confuse those muscles and break out of a routine.

Needs improvement:

1)I did not find her cueing to be as effective as it could have been. It was better than most instructors, but there were times when I would have appreciated her calling out the moves more often BEFORE they changed. This would be very helpful for when she is putting together all the individual moves into combos.
2) No modifications were shown for the moves. With four people behind her, you'd think at least one of them could have been shouted a reminder to show a modified move!
3) Even though this is low-impact, there are some twisting moves that are had on the knees if you have bad knees. Also, during the first two workouts you're pretty much standing in horse/warrior stance the entire time. This got a little irritating on my hip joints.

Some minor annoyances:

1) Did ANYONE else find the one guy behind her to look a little disturbing? His poofy hair kept distracting me, and it looked like he wandered onto the set and they put him in the video.
2) Nowhere on the DVD packaging does it tell you the length of each of the workouts. (If it's there, someone please tell me where!) I like to know how long segments are so I can plan my workouts.

Overall, I really liked the workout and the instructor. I will definitely be putting this workout in my rotation.

Great InstructorJun 29, 2009
This particular workout has a focus on the core throughout the entire video. The instructor starts with basic movements and then builds on them from there. The workout is challenging, but there are short breaks and it is not so hard that you want to just give up and throw the DVD in the trash. Patricia Moreno is a great instructor; she uses great cuing, is motivating but still with a pleasant demeanor. It was easier for me to get through the workout with this instructor vs. some others I have worked out to. There is a short portion of a core workout with a cool-down at the end. Good video!

Great workoutJun 19, 2009
While I was doing this workout, I kept thinking that I was wasting my time. It felt too easy & fun to be effective. But WOW I sure was sore the next day! And the second day! It was a lot of fun & the time flew by for me. I would definitely recommend this dvd for someone new to kickboxing. It's a great way to learn.
