Enjoyable introduction to kickboxing; good for all levels
This is a nice kickboxing routine led by a very competent instructor, Eversley Forte. Eversley begins by explaining how to use your Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) as a gauge for your own intensity level while performing the workout. He then goes into a 5-minute instructional segment which explains each of the basic punches that will be used doing the workout; once you are familiar with the kickboxing moves, you can skip over this section.

The kickboxing segment begins with a lengthy (7-minute) warmup. During the warm-up, you will begin using some of the punches you learned; this section reminded me of the warm-up in Kathy Smith's Kickboxing Workout, as some of the moves are almost exactly the same. Eversley then moves into a 33-minute kickboxing routine. Like the title of the video suggests, the routine is very aerobic in nature, and exercises such as jumps and skipping rope (using an imaginary rope) are woven into the kickboxing moves. With respect to the kickboxing, Eversley focus mostly on punches, with only a few kicks included, although he does throw in a few basic kick-punch combinations. The aerobic/kickboxing segment is definitely intense, but you can modify the moves to reduce the impact, and Eversley frequently encourages you to take a break if needed. After getting your heart rate up, Eversley leads you through a 5-minute cool-down, and then he concludes the workout with a 5-minute abs segment performed on the floor. This short abs routine was surprisingly tough!

Eversley is a very good instructor who gave better form pointers for the kickboxing movements than any other kickboxing instructor I've tried so far. However, this video included a bit too much traditional-type aerobics for my liking: I wish the workout had been more of a pure kickboxing routine similar to Kathy Smith's Kickboxing Workout (which is still my favorite), and I especially would have liked to have seen more kicks. Still, I enjoyed Eversley's style of teaching and would be likely to try another one of his workouts in the future.

Fun!
I enjoy working out to Cardio Athletic Kickbox, and am less prone to boredom than with other videos. Eversley is energetic, lively and has fun with the workout. The workout is intense and effective, but without awkward poses and difficult routines. I recommend the video.

Good Workout
I have been doing Taebo for about a month. I bought Cardio Athletic Kickboxing to replace the Taebo workout for certain days. I really enjoy both videos. I must say that the Cardio Athletic Kickboxing has a great ab. workout at the end of the video. The only complaint is that I don't sweat as much doing this workout compared to Taebo, therefore leaving me unsatisfied and wanting to do more. I rotate tapes, so I get the results I want. I recommend this workout for beginners, not advance. It will make you sweat, but if you regularly do high impact aerobics this isn't a video for you. You'd be better off with Taebo Advanced. The instructor in this video is very safe and wants everyone to have fun.
