Imax 2 frequency

[3kids]

Hi Cathe. I wanted to thank you first of all for your excellent WOs. I'm so glad you are finally doing better. I was wondering how often I could do Imax 2 in a week? I noticed you said 1-2 times per week. Is 3 too much? That WO really challenges me and I SWEAT. I need to lose 10 lbs and I think this would really burn some calories. Thanks for your advice and good luck in filming

Not Cathe, but I would say she is reconmending that you do IMAX in conjuction with other cardio workouts. Doing a total of cardio 3 - 5 times a week. That is what I try for. I'm with you though, I love IMAX 2! Have you tried IMAX 3? It is also really good and recently Fitness Magazine said about IMAX 3in a review, that you could burn up to 2000 calories doing it. I am actually trying to pump myself up to doing it right now, just procrastinating online. I ate quesadillas today with lots of cheese.... need to do IMAX...need to do IMAX....

I hear ya. Trying to psych myself up too. I'm very tired and had a big lunch:-( Time to do Imax. I have got to get Imax 3 if it burns 2000 calories! Really?!!!!!

Not Cathe, but I wouldn't do IMAX 2 (or other IMAX) more than 2 times per week with at least a 48 hour break in between sessions (for recovery. Of Course you can do other cardio workouts in between if your body is feeling good (the definition of good varies from person to person- LOL), but don't forget about those muscles}(

I probably will get my IMAX fix tomorrow. Have fun sweating!

I understand that you should do the Imax's no more than 2 or 3 times a week, but I was wondering why you should wait 48 hours between doing it. The first time I ever did Imax 2 I was sore the next day but now that I've been doing it for a while I don't get sore anymore. So does that mean that my muscles aren't really benefiting from it? I don't know. I think I have that old-fashioned mentality that if you're not sore the next day, you didn't work hard enough. Imax 2 is the best workout I have and it's my favorite Cathe w/o. I sweat like a pig during it and it kills me. I was just wondering what the reason for waiting 48 hours is? Thanks!
