Hi Bubbles You can definitely still get a great workout without the heavy bag, but you would have to modify some of the exercises that are done in between the punching/kicking combos that use the base of the bag as a prop (i.e. tricep dips, step ups) I think Mary's site has a pretty long clip that should give you a good idea

ETA: You can always wear weighted gloves or punch with 1 lb weights to increase the effectiveness without using a bag.

What an endorsement!
This set rarely gets mentioned here because it came out quite a while ago and then there was never anything else from this instructor, but whenever I see it mentioned I have to throw in my thoughts on it since it's one of my keepers!

I like it just because it's straight-forward heavy bag work, and there are so few DVDs that include the heavy bag. Definitely worth $15 for 5 45-minute workouts if you are even remotely interested in boxing/kickboxing type workouts.

Thanks for asking that question because I never would have even thought to look for it on the sale list because even during the normal TotalFitnessDVDs sales, the lowest I think I've seen the set is maybe $49.99 in the past.
Thanks for posting! I've had the set for years but haven't tried it yet! I'm glad to hear such great feedback on it!

Well, I wouldn't say I'm THAT good...15 DVDs didn't leave my house when my Cathe set arrived

And Mary sent me my tracking number within two hours of my order. Amazing
