Body Max 2 question

[jacmar]

I am doing Cathe's April rotation (a little behind schedule) and Body Max 2 is on tap for next week. Since I have only done the UB premix, I have a question on doing the entire workout- do you do the entire 97 minutes or one of the premixes? What is "left out" of the Cardio & Weights 70 minute premix?

Thanks.

I love Body Max 2, but sometimes it is just a bit long. I often just do the cardio only or cardio plus upper. I have never done the cardio & weight only premix. Maybe it is just the 2nd half - doesn't include the first 35 mins of step just the 4 segments that include the short step routine, blast, and legs and all upper? I also like doing just the legs (there is no premix) no step or blast and I'll double it up (squats x 2, plie squats x 2, lunges x 2 and add in hamstrings and calves).

Not sure if this helps one iota!

Thanks for the quick replies. This helps a lot.
Although I would like to try and do the whole thing, I just do not think its going to happen!

Once you get going with the whole thing, time does fly by. It just sounds intimidating - 90 mins. But it is worth it if you have the time.
