Certified instructor description:
Intense, very creative kickbox combos alternated with even-more-intense cardio “surges.” You get the interest and variety of “dancy” aerobics with the energy and power of kickboxing. Each of the five combinations is totally different. They all feature a fast-paced mix of innovative kickbox-style moves (e.g. “an in-the-air directional change with a switch kick and a jump”). The even faster-paced surges are also mostly airborne (e.g. ninja kicks and jump tucks). Throughout, Amy's amazing energy and perfect form are truly inspirational. Motivating dance hit music (e.g. “Whine -Up," "Don't Stop the Music” and “Do You Want a Piece of Me”). The ending core-focused floorwork uses a medicine ball. ©2009.
