    After doing this video, I realized that I had not done any serious exercise in at least two years. So this video quickly got my heart pumping and made me sweat. The cues did come a little fast and I would often skip the first one purposefully just to see them do it.

    I liked her words of encouragement because they were perfectly timed. Almost like she could see me! As soon as I felt like sitting down, she’d tell me to keep going.

    Some other reviewers mentioned they didn’t like that the girls behind her didn’t smile... um they were probably trying to freakin breathe, I know I was! The smiling or lack thereof was a non factor. I was more focused on making sure my kicks and punches matched theirs.

    The time of the workout was just long enough so it didn’t wipe me out completely. And there’s an optional (well the entire dvd is optional technically 😊) bonus toning segment.

    The only thing I wish was a little different is the music. It’s not the best, but you can’t please everyone!

    My absolute favorite thing about this dvd is that she used real plus size ladies with two different body types. They really made me feel like each workout was attainable.

    I liked this DVD so much I’m going to buy her other one.

    I'm a long-time kickboxing enthusiast. I started with a live class in the early 2000's and then moved to collecting workout DVDs when my live class was canceled as my fitness center closed. My favorite instructors include Janis Saffell, Guillermo Gomez, and Keli Roberts. As a plus-size athlete, I would challenge myself with 5-10Ks and sprint distance triathlons, but my real love was kickboxing.

    Fast-forward 15 years and I now find myself out of shape and my heaviest ever, following the birth of a baby and two major surgeries. I needed a place to start over, so I turned to walking workouts (Leslie Sansone). While they are excellent workouts, I craved the challenge of kickboxing. I went searching and found Debby Mack. I have been doing the Plus Size Cardio Kick workout for a few weeks now, interspersed with Jillian Michaels' Beginner Shred and lots of outdoor walking. I feel great!

    The first time I did the Plus Size Cardio Kick workout I didn't really like it. My biggest turn-off is the hip-shaking/dancing segments. If I wanted a dancing workout, I would have purchased one! I really wish she had opted for a boxer's shuffle (which is what I substitute) or other kickboxing-related move, so minus one star.

    Debby's cuing is excellent, but she could stand to give more instruction on how to do moves properly and she also calls the moves incorrectly in two places, so minus half a star for that. I love that she has plus-size workout partners with two different body types (apple and pear). I can relate to them, so I'm giving back the subtracted half star for using real people I can relate to. Yes, they do seem rather grim, and I do wish that they would smile a time or two (say at the beginning and when they conquer a tough move) but I'm sure that I too look less than thrilled for the majority of my workout. I also wish that Debby had introduced the two ladies. She didn't have to stop the video; she could do that during a repetitive sequence.

    The production values aren't the best (e.g., reflections of the lights in the windows), but the video gives me a sweaty, muscle-fatiguing workout. I miss some of the more challenging kick-punch combos from my fitter days, but this workout will help me get back to those. I'm giving it four stars for being a good starting point; the video isn't without its flaws, but it's just what I need right now.

    EDIT 02/10/16 - I must correct my earlier comment about the ladies in the back not smiling. If you watch very closely, you can catch a couple of fleeting smiles. I also have more fondness for the hip-shaking segments after doing the workout with my 6yo son. He loves the dancing, which made it much more fun for me.

    This video is very fun. Perfect for Curvy girls who want a good work out but cant do the high kicks. Its a great motivator as well. Debby Mack does a really nice job encouraging women throughout the video. Nice to see curvy girl work outs bc not all of have the Body of Barbie. If we did, we wouldn't need to work out. I love this video, because it promotes excersize for people of all shapes and sized, not just the already thin people. Debby also does a nice job breaking down the steps for those of us with 2 left feet. Great job. I'll Definately recommend this to family and friends.

    The video was received in excellent condition. The workout is easy to do and I lik the music. The toning exercise at the end is good.
    Just don't do the squats the way the video instructs. Put your back and shoulders against a wall to keep them straight while you squat.
    If they are not straight, you will put a great deal of strain on muscles.

    Pros: Plus size women working out, very easy to follow, decent music, excellent instruction.

    Cons: It’s one movement done forever, then another move done forever, and on and on - moves aren’t combined and made into a routine. It wasn’t at all fun or engaging. Even the background exercisers looked like they wanted to be anywhere but there.

    I really wanted to like this video - but it’s so boring I almost fell asleep on my feet.

    I ordered this DVD to change up my workout a little bit. I am plus size, and I had a blast with the Weight Watchers Cardio Kickboxing workout. However, this video just isn't fun. The exercise is okay, and you get a good workout. However, you spend three fourths of the workout thinking that one woman is going to pass out from exercising (she just keeps getting redder and redder...I seriously was fearing for her towards the end). The other woman is totally uninterested in the workout start to finish. She seriously looks like she was just there to get paid. The lead woman was good, and pretty motivating, but she gets lost with her backup ladies. I really don't think this DVD will get played again....only if I am desperately bored and wanting to see a woman on the verge of a heart attack. I think I am going to stick to Stephanie Huckabee and Jenny Ford from now on, and this poor DVD will probably end up being sold at a rummage sale or given to the library for their book/media drive.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Debbie Mack’s plus size kickboxing
    Reviewed in Canada on March 16, 2019
    I found Debbie Mack’s kickboxing video just perfect, for a beginner like me. I have never done kickboxing before till Debbie Mack! This DVD takes its time with explaining and makes it truly a fun good workout. It has given me confidence that it’s possible for me to do kickboxing. By the third time of using this DVD I was getting confortable in each step. Trust me you will feel like you had a workout and it just gives you the ability to take it to the next level. I love the fact that the three ladies doing the video are simple and not glammed up. Just regular girls like me and you! So easy, pop it in my DVD player and I get my workout anytime in the comfort of my home! Try it you won’t be disappointed!

    Holy Cow... This DVD gives a great workout. I have probably at least 3 dozen various exercise DVDs and this one is going to the top of the pile. I typically use the Leslie Sansone workouts but honestly her chatting is ok the first 20 times you do the workout but by the 21st time you want to kill her. Debby only talks to tell you want to do it etc. nice change and the moves are pretty easy to follow so you don't have to feel like your are in a dance class. It isn't too long or short of a work out and it makes you sweat. I highly recommend. It is so nice to see ladies that are not skinny doing the exercises, they look red faced and sweaty just like me...
