The Addiction workout combines kickboxing, strength-training and aerobics to provide you with a total body workout that is will burn more calories than any workout on the planet! A key to the Addiction workout is the heavy bag. Independent studies indicate that working out on a heavy bag can burn up to 70% more calories than simply swinging and kicking at the air. And punching and kicking the Addiction heavy bag is a great stress reliever and a fun and exciting way to achieve the body of your dreams. The Addiction workouts are captured on five high quality DVD’s that will challenge everyone from fitness beginners to the most seasoned experts. The energizing music syncs perfectly with the workouts to keep you moving and motivated. Each of the five DVD’s is approximately 45 minutes long and includes exercise segments that work the upper and lower body randomly and mixes work on the Addiction heavy bag with body weight exercises. The 6th DVD is an instructional DVD. The DVD’s are unique from the each other giving you a choice of workouts every day that keeps the program interesting and maximizes the effectiveness of the workouts. Imagine having Merle as your very own, personal fitness instructor. As you follow along with her you will find that each sequence challenges you to keep your own pace thus allowing you to customize the program intensity to fit your fitness capacity. We know you will love the Addiction program and just as many others who have purchased the program have said…I’m Addicted!!!

Really liked it, great stress reliever, hard as hell
This video is great. I was surprised because it includes a lot of other exercises in addition to punching/kicking the bag. So you might punch the bag for a couple of minutes, then get down on the floor and do "mountain climbers" for a minute, then up and kick the bag, then do tricept dips on the base of the bag, etc. The tutorial was also good for those of us who don't always remember the different kinds of punches. The only negative is that the video is somewhat cheaply done - the tutorial was shot in someone's living room - but that doesn't mean the exercises and instructor aren't good. Also note: these videos are designed for people who already have a pretty good fitness level (like P90X), but that being said, I am out of shape and just did as much as I could (e.g. I could do most of the exercises but at half the speed that they did them on the videos). All in all, I'd buy it again and recommend the set.

Sweaty workout with results!
Awesome workout! Even though its a low production dvd, it leads you thru a tough, sweaty workout. I like the fact there isn't dialogue thru the workout. She sets you up & then you get to concentrate on the moves. With 5 DVD's you never get bored. This is one DVD collection that has created a major difference in weight loss & definition for me.

Good concept.
Tops of A-class gym to workout at. 5 workout DVDs, same basic workout program. Good cast crew. NO sweet sweat. Just some re-edited punch - kick - squat . . . push up & other drill shots. Make it to seem an aerobic style. NO knee to bag or elbows crescent kicks. A cast crew member does do some. Nothing on the hand - foot protection, mouth price ? In safety too. It is a good workout and concept style to fallow up on. Yet the sun shadows do not lie.A true advanced upgrade with aerobics DVD could be a top workout too. ADDed in - bob, weave, slip, duck or sits.Combos and with an agility corse around that fine gym. The workout clocked time is fine too.

Glad to have this set. Some things could be better, but I use the discs a few times a week to build a great workout.
There are not a lot of heavy bag workouts available, so it's definitely nice to find one that includes 5 complete workouts. That alone, makes it a worthy buy. For the price, there are a few things that could have been done better. For one, the cool down at the end of each video is the same. They recorded it once and put it at the end of all 5 dvd's. It gets tedious, so I find myself changing it up on my own. Second, while boxing in general is great for your core, there is no concentrated core work. I tend to do it on my own during the "90 second" break at the middle of the workout. I also do it during mundane portions of the workouts. (i.e. several minutes of mock jump roping on disc 3) Finally, the actual effort put in by the people in the videos is not very inspiring. They are pretty much tapping the bag when they "kick". I usually ignore their pace and do my own so I can really punch and kick for better strength training. Other than that, aside from the annoying music that home workout videos are famous for, I have to say I'm really glad to have this set. Even though I'm changing it up quite a bit on my own, it gives me a base workout to work with. With 5 workouts, I can do something different each time. I like it.

Great workout!
I used to pay for a kickboxing gym membership. Trying to save money I bought a bag for home use, but wasn't enjoying it as much. I guess it just helps me to have someone motivating me/ telling me what to do and when. These DVDs work great for allowing me to still get the same effectiveness from my workouts at home as I used to get at the gym.

Music is Annoying
Its a good workout but the music is so annoying that I cant concentrate on what I am doing. I just want the music to STOP! Its too late to get a refund or I would send it back.

Tried something new to me, just didn't feel the love for it.
The workout just wasn't my style. I was trying something different because my sister has this workout and has certain DVDs in the collection that she loves! It was too expensive to keep if I didn't LOVE it and I wasn't a fan of my heart rate not staying higher. There is nothing wrong with the workout itself or the instructor, just not my taste. I can keep my heart rate up high with Jillian kickboxing DVDs so I will stick with those and my Cathe collection for now.

Awesome work out
I used to have a membership at a kickboxing gym but it got way too expensive. I bought a century bag on Amazon and this was the only DVD I could find that actually used a "heavy" bag and incorporated other cardio exercises. It's a great work out and keeps me motivated to follow along. It beats paying $100+/month.
