I love Amy's personality and I find her a motivating instructor but I have long given up on her cardio (speed, complexity, poor cueing, impact).
I sold everything she released last year other than Rumble. Rumble is her closest to true kickboxing (like my favorite Powerstrike), but it suffered from the distracting ill modifier and could have had more intensity (not impact or speed, but combo intensity). I still have to weed out my Amy's and sell HLX and KBX. I used to be OCD about having everything released by instructors I love, but now I have learned that I can take what I like and leave the rest. I love all of Amy's strength workouts and her Abs/Stretch workout is one of the best for containing an abundance of functional planks and rotational/diagonal moves with minimal crunch variations. I love AP, APX, Slo-Mo, Hi/Lo Dome (mainly for the BOSU/Woody Bag work but the hi/lo is easier to follow than her others for me) Abs & Stretch, Rumble, Bootcamp and the strength portions of her Cardio Pump workouts. I pre-ordered her Kettlebell Dynamics (although early reviews based on the clip don't sound promising) and am excited about this years entire line up of strength (Drop Set Dynamics, Lower Body Dynamics and Upper Body Dynamics) and less frantic (hopefully) low impact cardio such as Dome Dynamics and Hip Hop Walk Dynamics. How complex can a BOSU or walk workout be? Deb |

I thought I was taking a huge chance by purchasing ASC3, but her cueing, for the most part, is very different on that one. She cued ahead, a move at a time, and I was able to do it! I'm very cautious with purchasing Amy's cardio workouts. I'm glad I didn't pre-order the kickboxing one.

I don't care for Amy's cardio and actually only have one strength workout from her.
I watched the clip of her Kbell one and that didn't interest me at all. The jacks and swinging the KBell and then running and swinging. It looked like a injury waiting to happen. JMO. Rhonda |

One of the reasons I love Amy's cardio (step and hi/lo) is exactly because she doesn't cue too much. After pulling out the dvd time and time again I dread break downs like Cathe does (I do like Cathe though, just have to be in the mood). It's like 'I know it already just move on'!!
I preordered the CIA w/o but not Kettlebell Dynamics, I do not like how she is swinging those bells around!
