    TurboFire! It's awesome! I love it and do miss it when I don't do it for awhile, as I have been running and lifting instead lately. Hard to follow at first, but once you get the hang of it, you sweat your bum off!:happy: :happy: :happy:

    Are you looking for legit kickboxing training or cardio kickboxing? I can recommend Turbojam/Turbofire and 10 minute solutions kickbox as cardio kickboxing. I can't emphasize how much I LOVE turbojam and turbofire by chalene johnson.

    JM has a Kickboxing Video...Kickboxing FastFix - 3 workouts - 20 minutes each. LOVE THEM! I highly recommend it!

    I would also say Turbo Fire or Turbo Jam. Same instructor but Turbo Fire is more advanced and newer :)

    LOVE IT and I think you will TOO!!

    I have Jillian's Kickbox FastFix and I love it! It's fun & fast-paced - three workouts, each exactly 20 minutes, so you can mix and match depending on how much time (and energy) you have. The first workout focuses on arms & uses dumbbells a few times, second is lower body, third is abs, but you're doing kicking & punching combos in all three, so lots o' sweatin' all the way through.

    I've heard great things about TurboJam & TurboFire, but haven't gotten my hands on either yet, so can't help ya there. I think you might be able to find clips of all three of these DVDs online to kind of get a feel for what they're like. OR check your local library.

    I am a 1st Dan Blackbelt In Freestyle Karate & Jiu Jutsu and the DVD's you are talking about are good calorie burners the only thing i would say is your missing out on a good social opportunity of going down to the classes and meeting new people and also its a great confidence boost.

    Go kick some *kitten* :tongue:

    Not exactly kickboxing but Tapout XT is awesome. They teach the exact moves UFC/MMA fighters use and you will burn a ton of calories and work your core every day.

    thanks everyone...i'd def prefer a more cardio type like JM has in her other DVD's. I do running and weights too..so I would like just another choice of DVD's to mix it up. :)

    The P90X program has a Kenpo dvd in it which is like kickboxing. It's fun and a terrific workout! It was always my favorite day when I got to do that one!

    I take a Turbo Kick class at the YMCA in my city which is just like Turbo Jam on DVD. I LOVE it so much.

    Being a k-box instructor myself, I like JM's kickbox Fastfix. Not so dancy and relies more on actual kickboxing moves.

    This one is on heavy rotation in my workouts. http://www.amazon.com/Prevention-Fitness-Kick-Start-Metabolism/dp/B003SKWR6O

    Simple but a lot of punching and kicking and it gets my heart rate going!
