I think if you are serious about getting into boxing this book and dvd combination would give you the information to put together a training workout for yourself. The book has clear descriptions of both boxing and training exercises and the dvd shows them. If you are looking for a simple cardio workout with a boxing twist there are more appropriate workouts.

I wanted to read Total Knockout Fitness by Mckenzie and Kirchner because I was looking for new work out ideas. The book and DVD are awesome, and although I wasn't looking to implement boxing into my workouts, this book makes the whole idea quite feasible.
This book is a total package including equipment, nutrition, and various routines for the beginner, intermediate and advanced exerciser. Although, I will be unable to perform the jumping, skipping, and fancy footwork due to knee issues, I was pleased to see there are a variety of other movements I can do, and some exercise demonstrations even offer modifications. I am looking forward to utilizing the punch precision ideas in my workouts.

In addition, the sections on cardio, weight loss, toning and shaping, and strength and power are extremely helpful and demonstrate how versatile this Total Knockout Fitness Routine is.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to add a little adventure into their present workouts.… (mehr)
