Best DVDs to Make Your Own Premix of 25 minute High Intensity Cardio?

Hi everyone,
I have most of the DVDs that are newer than Pure Strength. I have used Imax 2's Blast Mania segment to do a 25-30 high intensity aerobics session, as well as Imax 3. What are some other good ones that have lots of blasts so I can keep my heartrate at it's highest end for 25-30 minutes. It doesn't have to be a premade premix...I'll use the Mix & Match feature.

thanks everyone.
 
Ah, Lorjac (I think) - a woman aftger my own heart.

The Rhythmic Step / I-Max / MIC DVD:

Do I-max 1 step and blast segments simply by grabbing the remote after each blast and IMMEDIATELY chapter-advancing to the next blast, thereby omitting the recoveries (you just won't believe the heart-pounding quality of that one);

Do the following mish-mosh:

Circuit Max warm-up and hi/lo segments (first two cardio segments), fast-forwarding through the first resistance cycle; THEN CTX's 10-10-10 hi/lo segment; OR Boot Camp cardio only premix omitting warm-up; OR MIC hi-impact segment (begins about 18:40 minutes into the MIC workout); OR Step Jump Pump hi/lo add-on premix (which omits resistance cycles), omitting the fourth low-impact segment if desired;

Create your own I-max 2 Blast Mania by putting it on standard play,and then, just like with I-max 1, do the step and blast segments, grab the remote and IMMEDIATELY chapter-advance to the next step segment thereby omitting the recoveries (this is much more intense than the existing Blast Mania because the recoveries are, well, recoveries rather than cardio work);

Do the Gauntlet workout as a strictly cardio workout by chapter-advancing through all of the resistance cycles, thereby creating an awesome blast melange of I-max 2 and Boot Camp cardio segments;

Do the following mish-mosh:

I-Max 2 warm-up; go then to MixNMatch feature;
Do each BLAST in turn (no mid-range step segment; no recoveries)
Do the Step Blast BLASTS also from the MixNMatch feature
Throw on the Boot Camp cardio only premix omitting warm-up if desired

Also, don't forget about the Cardio Kicks power drills segment, about 15 minutes of intensive lower and upper body work; if you're time-pressed, just sling that on the end of a cardio segment and focus on leg drills only.

HTH -

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I forgot that I have Circuit Max and Cardio Kicks on VCR tape....so I can't use those. My MIC/Rhythmic Step DVD is on back order, but hopefully it will be here soon. I do have the GAuntlet and the other ones though.

I'm starting the April Strength Rotation tomorrow and I need to add 3, 20-30 minute high intensity cardio's on the rotation, as I need a bit more aerobics than Cathe has listed. I can't wait to try these.
 
RE: Best DVDs to Make Your Own Premix of 25 minute High...

---cardio premix from bootcamp plus the blast challenge from Kickmax.
