LMR2 Elevated: Kickbox fusion

LMR2 stands for Lift, Move, Restore 2: Elevated! It takes the functional training of the first Lift, Move Restore to the next level. Both are workout programs by Cathe Freidrich. Though I purchased LMR2 Elevated! as a program on DVDs, that will soon be a thing of the past. Very shortly after the DVD program was shipped (the workouts were never sold as individual DVDs) Cathe dropped a bombshell–she was done selling anything physical. No more DVDs and no equipment. Currently, as of today at least, you can still buy the DVD program, but that is because she is liquidating her stock. Once it is gone you can only buy these workouts via download or sign up for On Demand, her streaming service that contains every workout she has created. If you own the entire program (which is still available as a download), the program also comes with a digital users guide. The good news is, you can now buy each workout individually.

Kickbox Fusion is a fun cardio kickboxing workout. I am not sure what “fusion” indicates in this particular workout. This workout is all kickboxing cardio; I didn’t notice any other modality “fused” with it. I am not breaking this workout down like I do most workouts. There is a warm up but I am not sure when it ends. The workout consists of boxing and kickboxing drills and two kickboxing combos. I actually had some problems catching on to the second combo–at least on the first side. I caught on easier when we repeated it on the other side of the body. This workout is primarily low impact. There is some jumping but Cathe gives low(er) impact alternatives for everything with impact. I burned 327 calories according to my Apple Watch.

Kickbox Fusion is 41:30 minutes with a 3:35 minute stretch. Equipment: boxing gloves.

Premixes:

Timesaver 1 – Combos Only 31:37 minutes

Timesaver 2 – No Combos 27:02 minutes
