This is the reason I started making my own circuit workouts. Btw, Kelly, you should really check out Paul Katami's Bootcamp 4x4. The moves are simple, but it is hard, hard, hard, and there is a TON of upper body focus. There's lower body focus, too, but the cardio is actually core intensive.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you guys want . . .but I consider Insanity a pure athletic style training cardio and it has what I think is a really good upperbody workout in the set AND I get a good upper body workout with many of the other DVD's (I know others disagree with that).
Cathe's Hiits are very challenging cardio that are athletic style, as is her Core Cardio Circuit. Supreme 90s Tabata Inferno and Cardio Challenge are good athletic cardios (and the set has great upper body work). I hate Kickboxing. These are some of my go to cardios that are athletic drills with zero choregoraphy challenge. (there's also Paul Katama's Bootcamp and Hardball) |

The Tabata workout is hard-core athletic-style training. The cardio workout is mostly as well (I personally change up some of the 'non-cardio' moves, like planks and push-ups, to cardio moves). Cathe's HIIT (which I've previewed but not done yet) has basic athletic cardio drills, as do some of Tony Horton's 'cardio' workout from P90X and P90 Masters. I'm with you on liking athletic-and-not-dancy style cardio (though I LOVE kickboxing, so we'll agree to disagree there, LOL!)
