Get Addicted Boxing Heavy Bag Workout By Addiction Fitness 6 DVD Set

Tops of A-class gym to workout at. 5 workout DVDs, same basic workout program. Good cast crew. NO sweet sweat. Just some re-edited punch - kick - squat . . . push up & other drill shots. Make it to seem an aerobic style. NO knee to bag or elbows crescent kicks. A cast crew member does do some. Nothing on the hand - foot protection, mouth price ? In safety too. It is a good workout and concept style to fallow up on. Yet the sun shadows do not lie. A true advanced upgrade with aerobics DVD could be a top workout too. ADDed in - bob, weave, slip, duck or sits. Combos and with an agility corse around that fine gym. The workout clocked time is fine too.

There are not a lot of heavy bag workouts available, so it's definitely nice to find one that includes 5 complete workouts. That alone, makes it a worthy buy. For the price, there are a few things that could have been done better. For one, the cool down at the end of each video is the same. They recorded it once and put it at the end of all 5 dvd's. It gets tedious, so I find myself changing it up on my own. Second, while boxing in general is great for your core, there is no concentrated core work. I tend to do it on my own during the "90 second" break at the middle of the workout. I also do it during mundane portions of the workouts. (i.e. several minutes of mock jump roping on disc 3) Finally, the actual effort put in by the people in the videos is not very inspiring. They are pretty much tapping the bag when they "kick". I usually ignore their pace and do my own so I can really punch and kick for better strength training. Other than that, aside from the annoying music that home workout videos are famous for, I have to say I'm really glad to have this set. Even though I'm changing it up quite a bit on my own, it gives me a base workout to work with. With 5 workouts, I can do something different each time. I like it.

There are few heavy bag workout DVDs available, and this one is excellent in terms of the workout. You will sweat and get a great cardio workout in only 45 minutes (and aside from punching and kicking, you also do mountain climbers and other plyometric exercises). My primary complaint is that it does not demonstrate proper form in some of the striking. They do not often make heavy contact with the bag during punches and kicks (many kicks are more like taps), possibly because their bags are free standing and not fixed. Also, some moves are not advisable on a vertical bag, such as uppercuts which should ideally make contact to a horizontal object. So when uppercuts are instructed in the video, they are really modified hooks (in addition to actual hooks). This could be dangerous if the wrist is positioned at an angle to the fist. All said, however, this is a great workout if you own a heavy bag. If you are going to make heavy contact in your workouts, I advise looking at another source for proper form.

This video is great. I was surprised because it includes a lot of other exercises in addition to punching/kicking the bag. So you might punch the bag for a couple of minutes, then get down on the floor and do "mountain climbers" for a minute, then up and kick the bag, then do tricept dips on the base of the bag, etc. The tutorial was also good for those of us who don't always remember the different kinds of punches. The only negative is that the video is somewhat cheaply done - the tutorial was shot in someone's living room - but that doesn't mean the exercises and instructor aren't good. Also note: these videos are designed for people who already have a pretty good fitness level (like P90X), but that being said, I am out of shape and just did as much as I could (e.g. I could do most of the exercises but at half the speed that they did them on the videos). All in all, I'd buy it again and recommend the set.

I searched for a DVD heavy bag training program for several weeks, if not months. There are little to be found, though I did find some young guys who liked to show off with little training. When I viewed Addiction Fitness' videos, I was already impressed. Though I have to say that I was a little doubtful because of so little reviews. However, I have found these videos to be awesome. I love the 45-minute training each morning. There is an instructional video that comes with 5 training DVDs. Each one is unique and has given me a great workout. In fact, it has challenged me and left me finding muscles I didn't know I even had! I was so impressed with the videos that I searched out the trainer, Merle Silver, but she is nowhere to be found on the internet. I wish she would continue her endeavors in fitness.

Here are the goods and the bads:Good: very intense work out, variety of exercise routines, good music to go with it, pays attention to alternating left and right side. Sweat more than in my gym kickboxing class. Overall, great workout.Bad: no synopsis with the discs on what's included into all of them, no warm up or cool down, no abs exercises. compared to my gym kickboxing classes that I took with the actual instructor, I don't seem to be toning my arm muscles quite as well.

Only 4stars because I did not like doing one whole side, then doing the entire routine on other side. I did one dvd 3x a week (m,w,f) completing all 5 dvd in 5weeks. I found them challenging in that she incorporates moves other than bag work. After 5 weeks I found any other cardiovascular much easier. Another plus. I did these dvds with my fit bit and completed over 8,000 steps with just this workout.

Exceptionally challenging series of DVDs that will kick your butt. Seriously my glutes are still killing me five days after doing DISC IV this weekend. If you are in need of a real full body workout to up your cardio game and build muscle, all while keeping you interested, this is a great series to pick up. I truly admire the actors in the series- they don't even break a sweat!
