I would be buying it just for that part - I'd skip all the rest. So I guess I'll pass on this set.

I actually found Tabata Power easier than Cardio Challenge as it's 20 seconds on 10 seconds off. I maxed out at 10:45 because I suck at pushups!

You have the option to do the modifier split screen or the regular screen. If you choose regular you can see the modifier easily, but if you choose the modifier screen, it's literally a split screen so you can always see the modifier.

I haven't done it, but in reviewing this, it looks like a combo of T25 and Insanity (the first one at least - I'm hoping to review some others today as well). One of my complaints about T25 was that it seemed to be unending hopping, and this is similar - LOTS of jacks. I plan to do this one today, and I'm a bit tired, so I may pull out my trampoline and do some of these on that. I tried to explain the move if it was new to me. I'll continue with the break downs as I can.

Cardio Challenge:

Change every 30 seconds

Chest Open Jack (Jack with a bent arms that you open and close like a fly)
Jack uppercut
123 Knee
Cross Jack
High Knee Jab

Repeat - warm up is only repeated once.

Stretch/water break - 30 seconds (5 minute mark)

Squat jump kick right
Pike Up Spiders right - (Pike to a groiner all on right)
10 and 2 (Basically jumping 10:00 and 2:00)

Repeat on Left
Repeat - Alternating

Water break (10 minute mark)

Med ball twist - Jack - while pretending to hold a med ball and move it from left to right
Plank Jack/In and out
4 Jabs, 4 high knees

Repeat
Repeat

15:30 mark

Plyo Power Knee (Kickbox knee pull with a bounce)
Scissor Stance Jack (squat jack reach cross foot - jump to scissor)
Should tap in plank while doing in and out abs.

Repeat
Repeat

20 min mark

Slap Back Jack - jack with a clap behind you
Suicide burpee - (Suicides - instead of touching ground - do burped)
Plank Speed Tap (r) -Plank with a single sided mountain climber)

Repeat
Repeat

25 min

Chair squat - squat to chair position
Football run - (fast feet - turn to left/right, up/back, set - sprint)
2 jabs and 2 tucks

Repeat
Repeat

30 minute mark - cool down (did not preview the cool down)

you are my goddess

So far I've only done Cardio Challenge. I will not be following the rotation as I also got Cathe's Ripped to Hiit series the same day I received Insanity Max 30 and I want to mix the two.

Right now I'm probably a high intermediate exerciser. My work schedule has been nuts and I've been struggling with consistency and as a result both my strength and cardio endurance have suffered.

I did Cardio Challenge in the modifier view and I followed the modifier about 80% of the time as it was early in the morning and I wanted to familiarize myself with the workout. While I didn't 'max out' and have to stop, I was gassed and a sweaty mess at the end. Even following the modifier this is one tough workout as the speed never does let up, even doing the workout low impact.

I have lots of room to grow with these workouts and look forward to incorporating them into my workout routine.

Took a break yesterday because of work, but did Sweat Intervals today. I this workout!! It's not overly hard (not easy by any stretch) but fun and I love the moves. I'm a sweatball. But I was laughing at the young peeps who maxed out at 7 minutes. I'm thinking - this 50 year fatso is still going, what's up with you?!

You're welcome!! I'll get to month 2 eventually, but I'm in no hurry. This was a good purchase for me. I'm really enjoying. I do most of the moves unmodified, but tuck jumps are impossible with my knee and lateral hops are, too. I usually go higher impact than the modifier - so I do my own thing, but it's easy to do - for the hop hop skater lunge (hop hop run) - I just do a high knee jog, for example.

Mine are finally here and they look really good!😀
