Cardio Kick Step-Boxing with Kelly Coffey-Meyer

I never did kickboxing nor step aerobic classes in my life. However, as a child I did 6 years of ballet and jazz dancing and I do consider myself in the range of OK to gifted in catching how a move works, catching the rhythm and so on.This workout consists of fast-paced moves with a challenging choreography. I'm really working on catching up but it's frustrating to fall off the wagon again and again and having to rewind the DVD and repeat the move 5 times only to finally being able to sort of moving with the group and then ... falling off a little later when Kelly is changing the move again. The tutorial helps a little bit though,- I worked through it several times.This workout is probably more for people who are already familiar with step-kickboxing.Another drawback: you need a LOT of room.I guess after a few weeks I'll master the whole workout, but I usually prefer workouts that I can follow immediately.You sure get out of breath with this workout and I think that once you master the moves it'll be really fun and time will just fly because you need to focus intensely.I also own Kelly's  Kelly Coffey-Meyer: NYC Body Sculpting Workout  and totally love that one!!UPDATE 23.09.2013 from 2stars to 4 stars: I'm almost through this DVD - I did it step by step, from week to week I've added another sequence of moves. It really took me a lot of work (and time) to learn the moves (sometimes I used slow motion to learn the move) but now it's a lot of fun. This workout is not only a challenge for your fitness but also for your mind as you need to focus intensely in order to not fall off the wagon. But once you master it, it's really a great workout!!4 stars instead of 5 because of the time+effort one needs to put into learning the moves.

Some others have said this (and I agree), the cueing is really difficult at first. BUT if I'm gonna do this workout multiple times each week or month, the cueing becomes less necessary because I learn the movements. So, yes, at first the video is really hard to follow, but by the 4th time doing it, I'm figuring it out. It's not a great work out the first couple of times you do it because you're too busy trying to figure out the steps, BUT after that, it is a serious fat-burning workout and I love it! I do think it would be good if the producers/publishers/whoever digitally remastered it because it is kinda blurry compared to the newer DVDs.

I am an advanced exerciser, that being said, this one was to hard to keep up with. The steps are not repeated enough to catch on. Love her 30 min. Workouts, this one not so much.

This is a good workout with lots of variety that works multiple muscles and doesn't get boring . . . but I was surprised to find that the queuing was not what I've come to expect from Coffey-Meyer. A few more times through and I should be able to better manage the barely-queued transitions and get the full benefits.

I like this workout but it is hard to follow the cues and still feel like you are getting a good workout. I just ordered couple more videos and hope they do not turn out the same. I do own other videos of Kelly's and love them!

This is the first video I have from Kelly. It definitely isn't for beginners, but I loved it. I did the tutorial twice before attempting the workout. It was a challenge, to say the least. If you don't like difficult choreography, this probably isn't the video for you. I love that it has the full workout, as well as options for shorter workouts when time is an issue. You do need space as well. I would classify my fitness level as intermediate, and definitely worked hard in this video. I am looking forward to purchasing more video workouts from Kelly.

I really like Kelly Coffey-Meyer, but this workout was a huge disappointment. Although I'm painfully uncoordinated I fully expected to catch onto this after a few tries, such as I have in the past with other step routines. No such luck. I did try several times, but the moves were entirely too fast and intricate, even for an intermediate stepper. I'll keep and continue to enjoy Kelly's other offerings, but this one is headed to a table at our next yard sale.

Love this workout! I netflixed a while back and enjoyed it so much I had to buy it. It's great cardio and a lot of fun...it makes you enjoy the workout and not realize how hard you are pushing your body. I am usually drenched with sweat during and after the workout and I am a pretty physically fit woman. I work out daily to Cathe Freidrich, Shawn T. and Jillian Michaels. Would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a challenge!

Ever since I tried Kelly Coffey-Meyer's 30 Minutes to Fitness, Weights, I was hooked. She is an excellent instructor, very motivating and her routines always keep you stimulated. This workout, however, is particularly challenging. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is a beginner or is new to step. My first attempt was bewildering to say the least; at one point I found myself staring dismally at the TV whilst everyone was going one way, I was going the other. This workout is hard to sum it up in one word, as she combines a lot of kicking and punching together with the step which requires a considerable amount of co-ordination. I would suggest going through the tutorial section first. That said, don't attempt the whole workout at first. The workout is broken down into two other sections; either one would be a good start. All in all a challenging, enjoyable workout which does require some patience and perseverance in the beginning but once you get the hang of it you will be hooked! Don't give up!

ケリーさんのボクササイズが好きでこれも前々から気になっていたので購入しましたが、コリオやステップがかなり複雑で、全然動きが覚えられなくてまだ全くついていけません。とにかく動きっぱなしでかなりの運動量だと思います。でもこんなにハードなのに、ケリーさんや後ろのメンバーさんたちは楽々とやっている（ように見えます）。それからこのエスササイズはステップ台が必要です。
