most challenging cardio (after insanity)

[wendygurl]

I am just finishing up Insanity rotating and am thinking of downloading some shock cardio. I don't have any DVD's in this series. which cardio is the most challenging? I need to keep progressing cardio-wise and am in need of some change. thanks in advance!

Wendy, IMHO if you are looking for intensity you will love the Shock Cardio HiiT workouts; there are 3 of them -- 40/20 (my fave), 30/30, and Pyramid.

Cardio Core Circuit from the Shock Cardio series is also very very intense. The workout as is has you doing a segment of cardio drills followed by some core work, but there is a premix that allows you to do all of the cardio drills back-to-back for a non-stop sweatfest. (I usually do this and then do all of the core work together at the end.)

I like the step workouts from Shock Cardio and the MMA workouts, but they don't spike my heart rate like the HiiTs or CCC.

Cardio Core Circuit is IMO the hardest Cathe video ever. It even blows IMAX 3 out of the water!
