Time graph for Amy Bento's All Cardio Hi-Low Knockout

Amy Bento combines aerobic favorites with higher-intensity bootcamp and kickboxing moves. It’s a non-stop fat-burner designed to keep you physically challenged without complex choreography. Each combo starts with familiar, large muscle-group moves like repeaters, jogs, jumping jacks and kickball changes (often intensified with overhead arm motions). That’s followed by explosive bursts of bootcamp and kickboxing — squat thrusts, jump lunges, side kicks and “double front kicks.” But no slowing down; then you’re on to the next combo. It’s all driven by Amy’s contagious energy and great pop-hits music (e.g. “Buttons,” “Truly, Madly, Deeply” and “Go Your Own Way”). Requires 3 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2008. DVD has: 4 premixes (44-64 min), Chapter menus.

Amy Bento's All Cardio Hi-Low Knockout
I will grow to love this one!
I know I will grow to love this workout but the moves are a bit hard to get down the first few times. I love how it keeps your heart rate up and you are continually moving- I also love the fact that there are some great kickboxing moves in it-- front kicks, crescents and side kicks during one knockout. This is definitely more fun than her hi/lo extreme in my opinion. I am looking forward to doing it again as I am hoping to get all the moves down next time so I won't have to be frustrated. It is a milestone we must get over to really enjoy workouts like this!! - posted by Mandee on 10/27/2008

TOO COMPLICATED
Loved the music. I have done this workout several times and consider myself pretty coordinated. The choreography is too complicated. I don't think it's necessary for the choreography to be so complicated that you become frustrated learning it. A workout is supposed to be enjoyable. - posted by BETH on 9/28/2008

Wow, Ow... and wonderful!
I am an advanced exerciser, and this was a challenge for me. I don't pretend to be at the highest end of the advanced scale, but I feel I am pretty advanced. None of the other Amy's, however, have been as much as a challenge as this one, though HI/lo xtreme came close. This is an amazing workout! I was reluctant in buying this, as I have not yet tried Amy for Kickboxing. I have ordered all her other dvds so quickly after doing this one, it's going to take me weeks to get through them! THe Choreography in this workout is extremely fun. I loved Amy's Hi/lo dome workout, due to the varied choreography, but this is even better! My heart rate was through the roof! The intervals are longer than on some of her other dvds, and this makes you really feel every move. I find Hi/lo Dome as much fun as this one, despite it being slightly (I mean ever so slightly) easier. Her moves are so innovative that you never lose interest. Although combos 3 and 4 are slightly easier, they are not easy! Amy has hit a winner with this workout. Every muscle appears to be worked, and it is a real cardio challenge. I particularly like, in the knockouts, how she utilises different muscles. I found knock out two harder than the rest, and I would warn that it is more difficult on carpet. But I enjoy having something to work up to. The Ab workout is fabulous. So often are the ab sections on Dvds the same boring moves that they aren't worth doing. Amy's ab workout is so innovative that it leaves you wanting more. I think this workout is a winner. If I could give it more than five stars I would. - posted by Zoe on 9/28/2008

I love Amy Bento
I love Amy Bento. Here's another workout of hers with fantastic music, exciting moves, advanced level. It's just an all-around great workout for someone who wants an advanced cardio challenge. Regarding the choreography, give yourself a few times through to get it all down. But I got enough of it on my first try that I could enjoy the workout completely! - posted by Marianne on 9/27/2008

Fabulous Workout and Awesome Music
I really loved this workout and the music (finally...something more than weird techno-beat aerobics music). It was definitely a cardio-challenge, but the music is so motivating and fun that you want to keep going. I am somewhat choreography-challenged, so I took each choreography segment (there are 4) and learned one new one at the end of my standard workout each day until I finally had the entire workout down. Now, the choreography is a piece of cake and lots of fun. I highly recommend this DVD. - posted by Rebecca on 9/14/2008

One of my favorite workouts!
This is one of my favorite cardio workouts, and I have so much fun doing it! Granted, it took me a few times to get the choreography down, but, once you learn it, it's great to not have it repeated too much. The music on this is great, and Amy's fun personality shines through. Highly recommended! - posted by Leanne on 9/2/2008

Hi-Lo Forever Please!
Amy's energy is infectious and i love the non-stop movement throughout this workout. Some of the combinations are very creative and once you get them heaps of fun, but on my first few attempts, I would NOT have found it boring if Amy had broken them down more, particularly as during the learning phase the moves were not done in 32 count brackets. Having said that... it's still hard to beat a great hi-lo floor workout especially when there is so much variety on offer these days - posted by Helen on 8/19/2008

Good
Great music, nice tape. Modified burpees using the step (do not like too much in my head as I get older). Giving it 4 stars as modifier could have been used more. Other wise a very good tape. Recommend it. - posted by Luli on 7/31/2008

I LOVE MY AMY BENTO!!!
I have about 3 of Amy's workouts and I love each of them. I love high impact aerobics and she is constantly moving the entire time. Her energy is contagious and the music is always great! I look forward to doing her workouts. If I'm not drenched in sweat, I don't feel like I've done a great workout. I never have to worry about that with Amy's workouts. Straight to the shower for me!! Love ya Amy - keep 'em coming! - posted by Stephanie on 7/28/2008

Loved it!
What a great workout! Really got my heartrate up without sacrificing on the choreography. I got most of it on my first try. I'm sure after 2-3 more times I'll have it down perfectly. I will have to agree with the reviewer that said that knockouts 3 and 4 are not as hard as 1 and 2 and that my heartrate did come down after the first half but it was still excellent. The combos were challenging enough to keep my heartrate high enough. I love her energy and her enthusiasm. She's great without being over-the-top. Also, the core work was excellent. What innovative moves! I really feel my core working. Very happy with my purchase. - posted by Adina on 7/28/2008

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Premixes

These are alternate workouts created by the manufacturer. They use the same content as the main program (i.e. the very same video footage). But the sections are re-edited into pre-made alternative workouts that you select from a menu. These are often condensed versions of the main workout.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning

Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
