Amy Bentos Hi Lo Xtreme

[tygra]

So, please spill! Tell us about this workout. Does it compare to Cathe for intensity? Advanced? Music? Fun?

I ordered the Kick Box Xtreme based on the other thread and was curious about this one as the cardio is almost an hour.

I just started the Aug 2005 rotation so it'll be a while before I can do a new workout, but certainly curious!

TIA

I like it a lot. Really good music, interesting and fun combo's. A little bit of a learning curve, but I'm not a hi/lo fan but I can see myself reaching for this a lot. HLX is a little bit of a space hog and I've had to modify, but I get a nice cardio workout from HLX. Out of the two KBX is probably going to be my favorite, but HLX is a keeper too in my book. HLX is put together a lot like KBX in that you learn combo 1, then interval 1, then combo 2, then interval 2, then combined 1 & 2, then combo 3 followed by interval 3, combo 4 followed by interval 4, then combined 3 & 4, then cool down and stretch. There are a lot of premix options and 3 NRG mixes include footage from All Pump Xtreme.

P.S. I think it does compare to Cathe in intensity once you've learned the workout.

This is a great workout and the premixes alone make it worth it. She has premixes from All Pump Xtreme and HLX combined like a circuit workout, in addition to just HLX premixes. I had DOMS in my legs for days after doing one of the circuit premixes, more so than I do from B&G. I think her intensity compares to Cathe and it is a fun workout!

I loved it. I'm really happy she's shown up in the industry, it's great to have some new cardio that equals Cathe's intensity level.

I'm another who loves Amy's Hi/Lo Extreme workout and I have to say that I usually really dislike hi/lo workouts. This workout is a little more athletic than dancey and that is what I usually prefer. I agree that it is worth the price for the pre-mixes alone. She has all but I think about 7 minutes of All Pump Extreme on this workout and it's the cheapest of the extreme DVDs. This DVD is totally worth getting.

I previewed the KBX last night and it looks awesome!!! The music is FABULOUS and the combo's look so interesting, fun, and totally different from the norm in the "kickboxing" cardio's I've seen anyway. There will be a learning curve, but it looks like some fun, killer cardio!!! I'm very happy and excited to have these to workouts from Amy. My cardio has been neededing some serious variety. I was just getting so bored. I give these two workouts a woo hoo!
