Imax 4
Just did this one. I’m an advanced exerciser and instructor who’s been doing Cathe workouts for years. Loved this one! It is easily modifiable up or down, which makes it versatile and accessible to more levels of exercisers. I did it on an 8-inch step. I found it more challenging than Low Max... Cathe suggests a few modifications to raise or lower the intensity, if you are looking for that.
Great job Cathe! |

I just checked my OnDemand and they're in there. Not sure when they showed up. They weren't there Friday when I checked but are now.

I really enjoyed this latest PHA! I used an 8 inch step and didn't change it when Cathe did. I have a Reebok step, not a club step and it isn't that easy to change the height. I think the higher step made some of the exercises more challenging---both the leg dips and the lunges off the side with the gliding disk seemed harder. I liked that they showed the weight that Cathe was using in enough time to gauge what I would use. Most of the time Cathe would say what exercise she was doing next which also was helpful since I don't always use the same weight as she does. There were some different moves mixed in with the familiar ones, and some variations that were enough to keep me interested and challenged. There was a noticeable cardio effect as well that I liked. I'm happy with this series in general since IMHO each offers plenty of opportunity to modify up or down. I'm also happy they are available in DVD format since I use the premixes a lot to modify up in her later productions. |

I did StepBoss IMAX 4 this morning. First let me say, I am a total step klutz! It takes me several times through to get choreography and even some of Cathe's step workouts are beyond my abilities and I still haven't mastered them (Step Blast, Party Rockin' Step #1, Step Moves, and the last combo in Rhythmic Step).
But I got about 80% of the step combos in IMAX 4 and it was nice to have easy to follow blasts to keep my heartrate up. If I do this 3-4 more times, I should have it down. Time flew by and I have to say this is probably the most "enjoyable" IMAX so far.

I did a PHA timesaver followed by the extended chair stretch.
Solid, sweaty workout for me, and as others have said, I think more of a cardio effect (which I like since I cannot do any high impact at all anymore). Also, I really enjoyed the chair stretch. I will be using this as a post-workout stretch often I believe. |
