"I preordered this because I really like the Patricia Moreno dvds I own. The fine print on the back of the dvd states that it is a rerelease of Kickbox Yoga Fusion, released in September 2007 and still being sold here at Amazon under that title.Kickbox Yoga Fusion This should be added to Amazon's product description. It is a great workout, but why on earth is Gaiam rereleasing it under a new title when it has been out for less than a year?"

Best for light workout days

"I have never done any workouts by Patricia Moreno before this one. I think the title is misleading. I was expecting a high energy calorie-burning workout. You do get a burn, but it is from the slow, precise execution of the moves, not because you get a good cardio workout. I'm an intermediate exerciser. I would recommend this for beginners who are just learning how to kickbox. The moves are done slow and really teach you good form. However, I'm only giving three stars. I'm removing one star because I think the name is misleading, and another star because there is no warm up or cool down. Now the person who designed this workout could argue that the moves are slow enough that they are the warm up and cool down, but I think it is a bad habit to get people into thinking they don't need to stretch. If I had previewed this video, I probably would not have bought it. To make use of it I'll probably do the video occasionally on light days or in combination with harder workouts."

No cardio, no burn, knee pain

"I had studied martial arts for many years but unfortunately let myself go physically for the last 3 years. Recently I decided to get back in shape, so I tried this DVD. Believe me I am really out of shape, but this workout did nothing for me except causing knee pain. No cardio, no burn. I'll stick to Tae Bo for now."

Not for beginners

"This is not for someone who is brand-new to kickboxing. She shows a move once then adds on moves and speeds it up and it is too hard to keep up. Also the camera is focused on the exercisers' faces too often and not enough on their feet so it is hard to know how the foot work is supposed to go. I must not have done it right because even though she kept saying "you should feel it in your abs" I didn't feel a thing. That is the area I need to work on the most. Also be warned the express workout has no warm-up. I don't know about a cool down since I didn't get that far. You should do your own warm up and stretching before and after. I didn't, and the next day I had a lot of pain and soreness in my hips, legs and knees (my left knee still hurts). Be careful."
