Kate Lawler - Cardiocombat - The Workout

The first time i tried this i hadn't done any exercise for a while and thought it was pretty hardcore! But stick with it, you definitely get results quickly, an all over body workout which is really enjoyable. i've recommended it to everyone!

After reading all the great reviews and it being a real bargain I brought this. In my opinion it's really not that good. I use workout dvds a lot (i've got about 20 of the things and use them in rotation about 4 times a week) - this isn't particularly hard work compared to others I've got. The trainer continually counts to 8 throughout the entire workout but misses out and adds in all the time which means you can't keep count yourself, it doesn't work both sides of your body equally because of this. When you get to the get to the abs and thigh section the instructor tells you not to rush but then you have to keep up with a quick beat - this for me is an easy way to do a exercise wrong and injure yourself. It won't become one that I use regularly.

I love this dvd because it is not too easy or too difficult and definitely NOT annoying. I have tried many exercise dvds in my time and one of the most off-putting things is an annoying presenter or chessy one-liners/expressions etc. I lead quite an active lifestyle in the gym and local exercise classes anyway, but I wouldn't rule this workout out for complete beginners. Kate is very down-to-earth and her input is very minimal with regard to speaking. She is merely there to promote her trainer who obviously did VERY well in helping her sculpt those awesome abs! They are both very good to look at, easy to listen to and easy to follow. The exercises are not monotonous and they move on to the next quite quickly so no time for boredom. 5 stars because I definitely felt the burn. If you love a bit of boxercise then this is for you. Extras include a section of Kate and her trainer sparring in the ring, as well as an interview with Kate about her personal life after Big Brother :P

This is a hardcore exercise DVD!! I got into a MAJOR sweat!

The routines are pretty easy to follow, split into warm up, cardio, kicks, abs & thighs, cool down. No massive floor space needs or any apparatus. Just stick it in and go, which is what I like.

I would defo take a days break inbetween doing this DVD, the next day I ache all over, but in a good way!!

I wouldn't recommend getting this if you haven't exercised in a while, it's pretty heavy going. But defo see results!

This dvd is brill from the first time I tried it was hooked. The time passes so quickly and you really feel like you have had a work out. Give it a go. I have already had compliments that I look more toned and have only been doing it for two weeks.
