[Sportsandrec] cardio kickboxing or aerobics class

[Ashley Bramlett]

Joe,

Glad you tried the boot camp and proved you could do
it.

Well, I don't think cardio kick will work.  I don't know how you all follow 
classes.  I tried it a few times After the first time, the instructor gave 
me a list of common moves they would do; many I knew from working with a 
trainer.  The class was a third strength even though its name is cardio 
kick.  I practiced and came back.

Although the instructor showed me the warmup, it was a lot of steps such as 
turning to the side and front and doing a punch toward that side.  With  the 
combo of fast pace and not sufficient auditory cues I got lost.
I'd like to try a cardio dance class but that is probably even more visual 
with many moves than cardio kick.
