About the War workouts:
How do these compare to Combat and/or Turbo Fire? These workouts are 60 minutes long. How long is the actual cardio part? How is the volume of the music compared to instructor's voice? Any other thoughts? TIA

I just completed War 1 and I really did enjoy it. I did a 30 minute run right before popping in War 1 and I felt that I got a great workout. I do have Combat from Beachbody, which I have still view, however, I do own Turbo Fire and prefer Power Music. The music was great, although the instructors' voices were muffled at times, but I could still hear what they were saying ..... the volume of the music was fine, although I would have preferred it louder. A complaint I do have is that I was expecting kickboxing (upper and lower body work) however, found the lower body lacking ...... this workout is mainly upper body focused and I loved the fast pace ...... I got a good sweat going, but this workout would have been perfect if there was lower body work ...... there is a warm-up for upper body and another one for lower body but for lower body it was basic (each warm-up is about 5 minutes,) .... I was expecting side-kicks, crescent kicks, etc. anything, and didn't get it (basically there was some lower body work, but not balanced with the amount of upper-body work.) I did also purchase War 2 which I have yet to view and not sure if perhaps each workout has a main focus ...... e.g. War 1 is upper-body focused and War 2 is lower-body focused which I hope is the case ...... there is also a War 3 which I am tempted to purchase. Even though I did not get the lower body work in War 1, I truly loved the workout ....... it was fun, fast-paced and a great calorie burner for me. War 1 will be a keeper for me (because I found it fun,) and I will just have to add in my own lower body work to make it complete for me. |

lapis Thank you for the info on these. I am so tempted. I love kickboxing! A lot of workouts seem to be more boxing than an even mix of upper and lower (kickboxing). I think one good thing about combat is that they do quite a bit of kicking. Thank you, again.

Yes, you have to purchase the entire set which includes the workout, music cd and booklet. I purchased Rip 6 and 7 which looked good ..... I hope to try them out next week ..... I have still to try War 2 but hopefully this weekend. (War 3 should arrive tomorrow according to tracking.)
