Default IMAX 3 is tough.

I got this about a month or so ago. I still dont have all the combos down. There is no breakdown of the combos in this one and the blasts are tough. I get thru it by either replaying a combo or just marching in place. I've gotten the first three combos down. the steps are fun and very familiar to some of her other DVD's. I think that is part of the problem for me, I start to do the combo and it feels like one from IM2 or SB and that's where I get mixed up.

I do like and I would recommend it.

Carmen.

IMAX 3 is a definite killer challenge in many ways. It took me some time but I finally figured out most of the combos. Definite kick butt cardio challenge tho! Leaves me gasping for air for sure!

I'm guessing that she didn't break that one down because by that point (when it originally came out) most people know the moves or understand the cues (purely guessing here).

I can understand how you feel, I don't have IMAX 3 but know it would take me a minute to get the routines down. Definitely stick with, I march in place too when the blast become too much but keep going

It should come with an oxygen mask.

Why do you suppose this one is so much harder than Imax 2?

Well for one thing, Cathe shortened up the rests in between intervals on this one. Definitely makes it tougher when you have less recovery time.

Besides the shorter recovery time Wendy mentioned, I also think the Imax 3 blasts involve more explosive/plyometric movements than the Imax 2 blasts.
