Kimberly Spreen, the Girl Next Door

The first thing I have to say about Kimberly Spreen is that comes across as very personable on her workouts. She’s definitely full of energy and creative, but her main appeal is the fact that she seems like someone who could be a good friend--very girl next door. She looks great like most video instructors, but also very accessible and normal. I love her kickboxing workouts, put out by CIA, but she also has a variety of other workouts, such as a Self magazine dance video, some strength videos, a fitness ball video for 10 Minute Solution and others. Her choreography in the kickboxing videos is intense, fun, and creative, but easy to follow--especially with her excellent cuing. I manage to feel both tough and graceful working out with her, which is really saying something since I am both weak and klutzy in reality. She’s very encouraging in her workouts, and she says “beautiful” a lot, particularly in Absolute Kickboxing, but I actually didn't notice until she joked about it, saying she should stop saying it so much. Her kickboxing videos also give you a great core workout, even the ones that don’t come with a specific core segment.
