awesome workout this morning. i tried this one on thursday but between being tired and not catching on the combos i gave up in the first round. amy bento's kickbox surge is 5 kickboxing combos combined with 5 "surges" or intervals. this has some new moves like the jawbreaker which is almost like an upper cut but the strike is the forearm/elbow to the jaw. neat combos and twists of punches and kicks. i previewed parts of it last night and saw were the fake kick mixed me up but once i saw that it was fairly easy for me to catch on. she does repeat alot so even mixing up at first , you still have plenty of chances to repeat. i didn't do the surges for today's workout just the combo/core only premix as i wanted to get familar with the choreography before i got into the intensity!
the core workout was okay. not really ab work not really back work but a bit functional and balance which i did enjoy but was rather short. i would have liked a longer segment myself. i enjoy amy's creativity b/c its not only effective but its something fresh and new to keep you going. she uses only a med ball for the abs.
i also followed this with 15 min of flexibility with the wii fitness coach.
