Cathe Live Review: 2015 Roadtrip Kickboxing Class (#61)
2015 Roadtrip Kickboxing Class is a cardio boxing workout with a few blasts mixed in. This routine was filmed as part of the Glassboro 2015 Roadtrip so again the class is full of visitors.
The workout was a mix of cardio boxing, boxing combos and a few higher intensity blasts sprinkled in. This definitely wasn’t the most intense workout but I did get just a nice steady state cardio workout. There are no kicks in the boxing combos and the only kicks, in the routine, were a step and side kick, and march / sequential power kicks.
I enjoyed the workout somewhat but it definitely felt less smooth than Cathe’s usual kickboxing classes. For me, it just didn’t seem to flow in the same way as usual. There were also far more breaks as Cathe is wandering around the class so everyone gets their 5 minutes of fame. However, this also means that she then has to get back to her place, at the front of the class, or move somewhere else before beginning the next combo. Also Cathe didn’t seem as focused as usual because of this and sometimes forgot the sequence or next move so it felt a little jerky. The choreography here was very simple - just straight forward punches combined into a combo or just a few moves repeated. However, unlike normal Cathe’s cueing, in some parts, was non-existent and she would change moves without saying anything. She also sometimes didn’t do her normal count down of how many are left of a move and so suddenly changed to something else leaving the class struggling to catch up.
The blasts were straight forward higher intensity moves, such as, hi-lo punches and attacks but there are far less blasts overall than usual so this kept the whole workout more steady state. I was glad I wore my wrist weights as this added to the intensity a little bit more.
Overall, this was a fairly straight forward, cardio boxing routine that will get you moving. It’s not the most intense routine and felt a little jerky in places. Not necessarily a favourite for me but a reasonable workout all the same.
