    Daisy, I am totally with you. In my opinion, some of her combinations are more challenging to get down. For example, I'm used to the punching combo of: Jab, cross, hook, uppercut. Chalene uses this alot in the Turbo Jam/Turbo Fire series. Jillian has one where the four are in a different order and it was VERY hard for me to get it. I think not knowing and struggling actually burns more calories than already anticipating...or I tell myself that just to make me feel better....lol.

    He he! I like your thinking! :smile:

    I personally found that a bit annoying, when Jillian would mix punching sequence, it was very hard for me to remember: jab, cross uppercut, uppercut, hook, back kick and cross ? ummm, really ? I ended up doing my way - because I just can't remember the right sequence :)) )lol so yeah, i think as long as i'm moving and kicking and punching i don't care if it's right :tongue:

    I picked up a copy today, hoping it doesn't kill me like the BR Cardio vids have. :grumble:

    I like it WAY better than the BR cardio! Much easier on the knees.

    Today is FRIDAY and I just got my FASTFIX KICKBOXING! Was waiting ALLLLL week!:cry: Anyways, after I did my phase 1 workout 4 I popped in the FASTFIX. It is good and you do sweat but the thing is she doesn't have you switch legs! She stands with her left foot forward through most of the workouts where we stand with our right to kick on the same sides as she but we do not switch to the other side, WTH? I will do this AGAIN tomorrow just to make sure!! A good workout BUT I do NOT want to be lop sided:laugh: !

    You're right. I just switch legs/arms on the second set each time.

    If you've done other Jillian dvds, she never switches during kickboxing. She says that she likes to maintain her "fighting stance."

    I had to go get this one. I love punching and kicking. Anything that will give my knees a break is good with me. All the lunges and squats are freaking killing me! Can't wait to try it. Maybe tonight!

    Warning: there's a few sets that incorporate squats and lunges...lol. One is a lunge to front kick and the other is a squat to front kick. They are both killers!

    I tried the first workout tonight and really loved it! I recommend definitely watching the tutorial for form. I did the workout a bit slower most of the time. But I loved it!

    For those that have done it, I know I read there was not a lot of jumping... I have a leg injury, do you think that this would work for me? I would say, can't do jumping, running, that sort of thing. I need something to keep me going

    There is some jumping involved, but I usually modify if my knees are feeling particularly weak. It's much better than the BR Cardio - I just couldn't do all that jumping.
