AeroBoxed!!!

Holy CRAPPERS!!! I just had a WICKED workout!!! Seriously awesome, with sweat and noodley arms and legs and everything!!!! You want to really work your arms, legs, abs, and ass?? Do THIS workout.

This is the editorial review: You want a tough, advanced workout? Boxing aerobic workouts are hot for athletic cross-training, aerobic conditioning, and both upper- and lower-body strengthening. Boxing offers a good cross-training alternative to step and aerobic dance, which are all leg work. Michael Olajide Jr., 12-year boxing veteran and former World Middleweight contender, is the real instructor in this workout, assisted by Kathy Smith. Olajide first demonstrates the correct form of basic boxing moves such as jab, power punch, hook, and upper cut, which involve the whole upper body and the abs, not just the arms. Then he leads a killer-paced aerobic routine requiring stamina, strength, agility, speed, and coordination. The fast upper-body moves turn into whole-body boxing moves, both stationary and moving, that also work the legs, thighs, and buttocks. The cardiovascular workout is intense, fast, and relentless, designed for the experienced aerobic exerciser. Periodic jump-rope segments (which get progressively more difficult) add more legwork, aerobic intensity, and coordination. The cool-down slows things down somewhat but still contributes to a high-powered workout. Only during the stretch segment at the end do you get a chance to catch your breath. A knockout of a workout! (Warm-up: 9 minutes; boxing with jump-rope intervals: 30 minutes; cool-down: 11 minutes.) --Joan Price





Thanks for listening,

I have been thinking lately that I'd love to try a kick boxing kind of at home workout, so i'll keep my eye out for that one!

I loved that workout when it first came out on VHS years and years ago... and isn't he so cute?

Has it been re-released on DVD now? Would be fun to have it again. It was my first ever attempt at boxing.
