10 Minute Solution: Kickbox Bootcamp

You know you're in trouble when the instructor is sweating and out of breath so thank goodness the sections are only 10 minutes long.

The 10 Minute Solution brand puts effective workouts together in 10 minute routines – for you to mix and match to suit your needs. This one has been designed by the amazing Keli Roberts. Keli is an experienced trainer whose instructions, cueing, technical ability, energy and enthusiasm mean you can't go wrong. Very nice.

This is obviously based on KickBoxing therefore it is full of kicks and punches but Keli devises interesting routines that keep you motivated and moving onto the next exercise just before it hurts too much. This is not an easy DVD, even though the moves are straightforward with no fancy choreography, this is not for beginners as it gets intense.

Totally suitable for men and is not a 'fast-paced' aerobic routine-type workout but seriously effective exercises explained clearly in an engaging style. Each 10 minute section includes a quick warm and stretches before the hard work begins and then a little cool down at the end. So much is packed within 10 minutes!

Perhaps not suitable if you have bad knees, however you can make sure you do not bend too deep with the squats and lunges. As with all DVDs take it at your level and listen to your body. With this one there is a 7-Day Body BootCamp Meal Plan in booklet format inside the DVD which some of you may be interested in.
