I love box workouts. And this Kickbox-Box DVD by Susan Chung has turned out very well. Susan Chung is a very nice trainer, and you recognize at once that she has been thinking a lot about the workout. She gives good instructions, and the music is great. Unlike her other DVDs, there is no additional strength training with weights; the dumbbells are used in the abs segment.
There are, as already described above, three kickboxing segments as well as three boxing segments. You can either do the whole workout, or you can customize it individually. Also, there are a number of premixes. Susan Chung works with four co-instructors, one of them shows the lightest version, without wrist weights/ dumbbells and without jumping, and one trainer shows the most demanding modification.
Susan slowly practices each combo step by step, until you have internalized the combo, and then she increases the pace. At first, she works on the left side, and after a short cardio segment, she repeats everything on the other side.
The choreography is varied. Great is that Susan combines the box segment with leg work.
The cardio segments consist of lunge back with jumped kicks, jumping jack, squat thrust (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q_3PAsYp5o), etc.
In the abs segment, there are two exercises for the upper and two for the lower body as well as two for the obliques (seated cycling with alternating punches, crunches with circular movements, etc.) Besides there are exercises, as Susan calls it, a challenge for the abs. This segment is not one of my favorites. Some exercises are quite ok, but some I find personally not demanding enough.
I find this DVD really good, apart from the belly training. But I do not give a deduction because I see the belly training as a bonus.
