Library of Cathe workouts https://cathe.com/forum/threads/i-pu...ibrary.314155/ Index of Cathe rotations https://cathe.com/forum/threads/inde.../#post-2497047 I agree that MIS is just good 'ole fashioned strength. No bells or whistles. Just down to business. And Michelle's Peak 10's are fun! I hope you update us on Circuit Max. Today I did an appetizer sampler. I started with HSC warm-up, then did the blasts premix from Low Max, and finished with Chest & Triceps Superset. I liked that with the Low Max blasts premix my heart rate stayed up the entire time, but wish it were a tad longer. Hang tough fierce friends!! |

Manleym, appetizers!!! I love that!!
Yeah, I really hate the double-foot jumps and don't love the fast jacks either. What's weird is she does those both in Fit Split in the Shred Cardio, on an 8-inch step no less, and I've never had a problem with those....however, I modify so I'm always jumping up onto the step facing forward, so I jump up forward, then when I jump off I kind of pivot to face forward again so I'm never jumping sideways over the step. It feels safer to me, as if that move is really safe, not!!! I don't know why I haven't modified the same way in Imax 3 other than I think it moves a bit faster with more turns before the jumps, so it's a bit harder to modify the same way. And yes, Hardcore is making me feel incredibly strong! That's what I'm loving. I always hated splits until now, but I'm rethinking how I strength train entirely because of this! I want to give it at least another week, I think! Cardio Fusion is killer, for me at least. The last time I did it, I used just the platform too, no risers, and even then I was still sucking wind and wiped out when it was over. It is hard! |

For double-footed jumps I jump on and off the step facing forward and just keep doing that until the move is over instead of turning sideways. I don't think jumping sideways off the step is safe either. You've experienced first hand that bad things can happen. Most of the time I'll do fast feet shuffles for the fast jumping jacks - facing forward, not sideways. Facing forward just feels safer to me than sideways for some reason and I just don't like doing moves sideways. Not really sure why. I've always thought splits = SNOOZE. I thought they would be long, tedious, and just plain boring with not as much cardio effect as I typically like. HOWEVER, there's cardio A-PLENTY in GS Legs and doing 30 minutes of cardio then 30ish minutes of splits is working out well. I get variety and am enjoying working out this way. That's EXACTLY why I haven't done Cardio Fusion!! I DREAD it!! I will definitely only use the platform and may just use the floor in some parts. Might do a premix the first time just to familiarize myself with the workout and simply to get through it!!! Although I think the premixes are still pretty long. There's no "#1-4" or "5-whatever" premixes. At least that I remember. |

Kim: knee braces may help that too. I hope. But wow!!! Imax 3!!! I have that on my rotation but I'm skeered. ;-)
Linda: Cathe mentions rotating MIS with MIC. I would get tired of them, but I bet you'd see some results. Cindy: I love all your signature lines! Kitty: OW, be careful please! At least you could carry on, albeit bruised. I'm so happy to see others use just the platform. Good that you're safe. I do it to be safe and partially wimping out. LOL So Circuit Max was fun! I read some negative reviews and was afraid I'd have a dud workout but no...it was good. A bit of a space hog on some moves, but not as bad as some of the reviews said. Definitely more of a cardio workout with each set consisting of 5 minutes of cardio then 2 minutes of compound strength work. The pace between exercises is fairly fast but I never felt rushed. Some impact but not bad. Half the cardio is floor, half is step. The weight work is fast with lots of reps. Cathe uses 5s and 8s. I used 8s and 10s. Good all plank core work. Just planks on the elbows and planks on the hands. NOTE: Cathe's step workouts are really starting to tone up my legs and butt! I had kind of avoided step workouts because I much prefer floor cardio or mostly kickboxing for cardio. But revisiting some of Cathe's step workouts have been great! My goals are to get through all the Imax workouts. Have a goodie!
