Is the intensity of IMAX 4 about the same intensity as Low Max? I usually do four segments of Low Max, so the shorter workout is fine with me.
Agree!

I'm planning on doing IMAX 4 later today, and since I now have the DVD I will do the 68 minute premix that doubles the blasts. I want a challenging IMAX. If I'm doing something that is called MAX, it needs to be MAX to me!
Also upthread someone mentioned there were 6 repeats of the choreo pattern before the blasts. That's been the pattern in all the earlier iterations IIRC, and for me at least that's been enough or I could get tired of it. |

I did IMAX 4 yesterday and liked it a lot. I think it's a bit less intense than Low Max. Since there are 10 sections and the overall workout is around 45 minutes, each step routine and blast are shorter than they are in Low Max. Since they are shorter, they seem less intense to me.
That being said, IMAX 4 is just what I was looking for. I also only normally do Low Max one half at a time. With IMAX 4, the workout in its entirety was doable and the time flew by. There were just two blasts that I didn't like; both involved putting weight on your wrists and kicking back your feet (burpees? squat thrusts? I forget what these moves are called). I improvised on these two blasts and it worked out fine. Shelbygirl [QUOTE=Susan H;2852190]Is the intensity of IMAX 4 about the same intensity as Low Max?

Do you mind sharing how you modified? I cannot weight bear on my wrists and I'm always looking for good modifications that still keep the intensity up. TIA!
