Think of Athletic Training and take it to the next level. This multi-impact workout never slows down! It’s a constant rotation of drill based movement patterns, both on and off the step, mixed with total body explosive movements. Varied step heights and hand weight selections are used to enhance intensity. This workout leaves you burning, breathing, and waving the white flag. Who’s Boss now?

Is that the BLUE firewalker band I see under everyone’s step????? Tabat drills AND HiiT???? Weights and core circuit???? No wonder everybody looks so AWESOME!!!
Can’t wait to try this!!!!
Sounds fantastic. I have a question though – if we have only ordered the download do we get the bonus sections for the premixes so we can make our own premixes?
I’d like an answer to Kim’s question, too! I thought premixes were from existing footage from the workout itself.
At the risk of sounding stupid, what is step tabata?
Thanks
So disappointed to see 12 inch risers! I remember when Cathe said that more than 8 in put too must risk to joints………Where is the modifier?
Cathe thank you so much for adding Tabata and HIIT moves to the workout. I’m so excited to have these workouts in my hot little hands. Thank you for doing what you do best, giving us amazing workouts, you’re truly the BEST!!!!!
Forgot to add I”m glad that there are moves that we can use a 12″ step just like when doing jump squats (love those).
I’m disppointed too. Where is the modifier for those of us who’d like to keep their knees into old age???
Looks and sounds amazing!!! Cathe just made a low impact series. Time for those of us who like to jump to have some fun, too!
Anyone can modify. Just lower the step and do the workout!!!!
Cannot wait. Tabata is the best!!!
When Cathe refers to not doing step on a platform over 8 inches she is referring to step aerobics which has complex choreography, not HiiT training which has no choreography. We also only use 6 inches of risers in the video, not 12. You can always adjust the height of the step up or down if you like.
Love the outfits, are they from Feel Fit Wear? I checked the site after I saw the pictures, and couldn’t find either outfit, the blue or the pink.
Very excited to see the pictures. I would also like an explanation of what Tabatha is.
Thanks!
Tabata training involves high intensity/short duration exercise- as Cathe described in the breakdown- 20 seconds of intense work, 10 sec rest, repeat. It’s based on the work conducted by Japanese researcher Tabata. .http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8897392
QUESTION??? How many times a week should I do To the Max or Cross Fire? Is daily too much stress on body? Should there be a total rest day in between or can I do Turbo Barre or Yoga on rest days?
High intensity interval workouts like “To the Max” and “CrossFire” should never be done more than three times per week. And for most people twice a week should be the limit for workouts of this type. You can do other less intense workouts on the other days.
