Muscle Max or Muscle Endurance

[karenolson]

I would like to know which is better to start with a rotation cycle for August, doing 3xs a week plus cardio,Muscle Max or Muscle Endurance, since you guys are the experts. I am an intermediate to advanced exerciser. I want to get more definition, I have some definition now, but would like more, please advise!!!

I have both of these workouts, and you wouldn't really go wrong with either of them in my opinion. I think MM might be harder than ME (do others agree?) but you'd increase your muscle definition doing either of these workouts a few times a week. Have you watched the video clips on this website? They're usually pretty long (6 or 7 minutes) so you get a good feel for the music, some of the exercises, etc to see if one of them clicks with you better. I prefer MM to ME but it's a personal thing and I like them both. HTH.

I agree with Bobbi that both workouts -- MM and ME -- are great, and both have 5-star reviews at most places. MM is somewhat newer -- and has slightly more non-traditional lifts, with more tube- or band-lifting than with ME. Both are approximately the same length and intensity, but for me the MM DVD is slightly harder.

Thanks for the replys guys I really appreciate it. I think I will just alternate MM & ME throughout August 3xs a week with some cardio on non weight days. I appreciate your honesty!! I have already done MM once, and enjoyed it, although could not use the same weights on barbell as Cathe, but I will get there. I have watched the ME dvd and thought it looked ok, but MM looks alot more exciting to me, but the Abs section on ME looks awesome!

One thing I really like about ME - it comes on a DVD with Boot Camp. And I LOVE Boot Camp. When you only have an hour and you need to do cardio, weights, and abs, it totally kicks your behind and works your entire body. I have MM too and like both ME and MM, but I use the ME DVD more often because of this.

I have both and love both of them equally. I think ME is more difficult b/c of the higher reps than in MM but I think both are very effective and you wouldn't go wrong with either one.
