so far. . .

So far I'm going with Drill Max as my favorite. But I haven't done them all yet.

I had to bring this thread back because now I have done each workout multiple times and many of the premixes. I would rank them: 1. BodyMax2, 2. LowImpact Circuit, and 3. Drill Max. Drill Max is nice for what it is, but just not my favorite.

I am in love with BM2!! The music is phenomenal. I cannot begin to tell you how frequently I smile during that video just because of the music (well, when I'm not too out of breath). Also, the music is good in LIC and I like that it is low impact, which is the only reason it edges out DM. DM has good music and is challenging, which I also like. I wish it had more step in it. And, *gasp* I wish the choreography was more intricate!! I never thought I (choreography dumb) would be asking for that.

I suppose with my first Cathe DVDs, I have turned from a choreography numnut to someone who can at least deal with moderate combos - and LOVE it!

BM2 - but that's the only one I ordered!

I am glad too. I don't want a real long leg workout like B &G, my legs get worked enough with other things I do. I think LIC would be a bit boring to me too. Although I do consider myself choreo challenged, the routine from LIC on Cardio Fusion seems rather boring.

And though I like the few drills from Drill Max on CF, I don't think I would want to do a whole workout like that. I was very pleased to get the CF DVD with my preorder. I have done it a few times too (not quite all of it) and its a great cardio addition to my collection.

I have to agree.. Body Max2. Not a fan of LIC AT ALL and I haven't really gotten into Drill Max. Good idea... but probably not my thing. I love Body Max2, especially the power circuits.

Body Max 2 is the best workout ever, IMO. The step choreography is fun and energetic, the music is great, the strength training is no-nonsense and effective, the ab work is challenging and very thorough, the blasts are actually FUN (first time I've ever said that! ), Cathe and the crew look great (I've always loved brown and blue together), her cuing is superb...

I completely agree...and especially with what you said about the music! The first step combo after the warm up is my favorite! I almost always want to sing during it...but then my stepping gets sloppy so I always hold back...but it is really phenomenal!

BodyMax2 by a large margin. I also like B&G a lot. I don't care for the choreography in LIC and DrillMax is just too intense. I don't often do really intense workouts, so the few I have fit the bill just fine. I'll be selling or trading LIC and Drillmax. I haven't tried Cardio Fusion yet, but I will very likely keep it, just from what others have said.

QUOTE I am still at the point where I am grateful that I can even do the choregraphy in one of her newer workouts! So, I have to say LIC is my favorite new one. The only other new one I have is B&G. I have not done it yet, but I plan to soon.
