Rapidfire Results with Susan Chung (Rapid Fire) |
 Best kickboxing DVD in my collection! |
| I bought this DVD about a month ago and it has quickly become my absolute favorite. I'm at an intermediate level and this is perfect. Once I get to an advanced level it will still be good to use, but I'll try the more challenging moves at that point. I really love the pre-mix workouts, which give a good variety for whatever type of workout you want. I highly recommend it. The combinations can be a bit hard to follow at first, but within a week I had them down pat. I like this DVD much better than Jillian Michael's kickboxing video. - posted by Julie on 4/23/2012 |

 Great Workout |
| Kickboxing for a long, long time and have to tell you I quit paying over $100.00 a month for a class and am now doing this video. It is Fabulous. - posted by Donna on 4/19/2012 |

| Tough and Delightful |
| I'm an advanced exerciser and this is one of the toughest kickboxing workouts I've ever done. Susan's form is impeccable; her cuing is good and the choreography is fun and unique. I like that the cardio blasts and the metabolic weights segment are both kickbox-style; there is a true MMA feeling throughout the whole workout. This truly is a total-body workout but it is also enjoyable. If you love kickboxing and love to work hard, you will love this tape! - posted by Bonnie on 4/12/2012 |

| Adaptable to all levels and in-between |
| Kick-boxing is my favorite exercise and this is a good workout which you can adapt to many levels, even more than is shown. Having had recent knee surgery, I was careful not to snap kick as is shown but I lifted my leg as 1 piece as high as the exercisers did (usually!). Also, I found myself bouncing barely off the floor as an alternative to the low-impact shown vs. high impact. There are many pre-mixes to choose from but I did the whole workout today and I'm probably 20 years older than Susan. I was always able to adapt to my strengths and weaknesses. The Metabolic Weights section is more for metabolism jolts than actual strengthening as the moves are too fast. It includes lower body moves with weights. The abs section continues with weights and medicine ball (you can use dumbbells if you don't have a ball), standing and on a mat. You must be familiar with kick-boxing form before attempting this. Susan's cueing could be improved. - posted by Christine on 3/28/2012 |

| Great Workout - no dread factor!! |
| I loved this workout. The first time I did it I just played all however there are some great pre-mixes and my favourite is each combo and blast followed by weight work. This really kept my heart-rate up and although the workout is about 75mins long it just flew by. The core section using the medicine ball is also very effective. Susan has a lovely calm manner, cues exceptionally well and in conclusion, if you like kick-boxing, I can't recommend this workout highly enough. - posted by Sylvia on 3/26/2012 |

| One of my new favorites! |
| I am an advanced exerciser (Amy Bento, Cathe, Patrick Goudeau, Jari Love) and have more exercise videos than should probably be allowed. But I haven't purchased too many kickboxing DVDs as of late, because they all seem fairly similar. However, based on the reviews, I thought I'd give this one a chance. So glad I did! Absolutely love it. Original moves, fast-paced, no time to get bored. Although the weight section won't likely offer strength gains, it does keep the heart rate up and adds more variety. I will reach for this DVD often. Hope to see more from this instructor! - posted by Carrie on 3/16/2012 |

| Challenging Workout! |
| I love kickboxing workouts and other than Ilaria Montagnani I haven't found too many that I really enjoy. This workout is challenging and fun! I consider myself to be at an Intermediate level with some knee issues so I follow the modifier, Krissy, but I still work up a sweat. It is fast-paced and a little hard to keep up but that is what I like about it. It gives me something to work towards. I really liked the abs section as well. I will definitely buy more DVDs with this instructor. - posted by Betsy on 3/9/2012 |

| Love this Workout! |
| This is a great workout! I do this all the time now. As someone else mentioned I love kickboxing workouts but not many advanced ones to chose from. This one is fun, challenging and left me sweaty by the end of round 4. This and Amy Bento's Kickbox Surge are great. I found the toning/abs rounds to be okay, but really do this for the kickboxing rounds. I do the cardio section was long a little longer. Looking forward to more workouts from Susan. - posted by Ericka on 2/12/2012 |

| Like Kickbox-Dancing! |
| The kickbox portion of this workout is one of the most fun kickboxing workouts I've done. The choreography along with the music almost make me feel like I'm dancing. The combinations are unique and straightforward. She is friendly - definitely less bubbly than other instructors, with almost a Zen-like quality. I've had this DVD for three weeks and have done it over a dozen times. I can take or leave the weight training and ab segments. It's difficult to find great kickboxing workouts that are fun and challenging with being repetitious. This, as well as Cardio Kickbox Challenge are among my favorites. I hope Susan comes out with more workouts like this soon! - posted by Meghan on 2/9/2012 |

| Solid Advanced Workout |
| I really liked this workout. The kick/punch combos were creative and fun. I really liked the metabolic weight training segment, more endurance than strength since she keeps the weights light, but still very challenging. There is also a nice variety of pre-mixes so you can keep the workout fresh. I do Cathe and Amy Bento and felt this may not have the over-the-top intensity the others do, but was still a solid advanced sweat-inducing workout. I highly recommend it!! - posted by Julie on 2/6/2012 |
