GOODNESS GRACIOUS! Okay, I did Drill Max 2 last week, twice. I was surprised when I saw how it "ranked" on the Cathe site- 9.1 intensity/5.3 difficulty.

Today I took on Body Max 2. Now.........in my defense before I continue.......because of child related stuff today, I ate my PB eng. muff. at 8 am and worked out, with only a Kashi TLC in between, at 11:15. That's just the way it had to be.

THIS WORKOUT KICKED MY GLUTES! BOTH OF THEM! I just looked and it is a 9 intensity/7.2 difficulty. Okay, maybe that's the problem- I was totally wiped out just from scrambling to the right side of the step after one of her combinations! GEEZ...what a dork I was!

I made it through the cardio section and was SWEATING like I have NEVER sweat wtih the FIRM. I only made it through two of the drills before I did a few abs, stretched and HAD TO go eat.

I'll try this again only withing 30 minutes of a full meal...and only after watching some of the patterns again.

OY VEY!
 
Once you get the footwork down, don't be surprised if this becomes one of your very favorite workouts.:) It is one of mine.

I only use one riser for this workout. I think many other folks here do too. If I were only doing the combos I might use two.

Don't forget the premix options. Those are very helpful for learning the steps too.

Take care, :)

I, too use a 6 inch step. It is challenging and fun. The pre-mixes are the best part of this workout in my opinion.

CollinsMom,

Oh, kicking my glutes is not a bad thing, and not doing it again isn't an option! I just know now to a)eat within 30 minutes of starting it (and LOTS OF PROTEIN!); b)don't do it after a tough run the day before; and c)practice the cardio sequences ahead of time.

I LOVE this kind of challenge!
 
Body Max 2 is, to date, my favorite Cathe total body workout.

The premixes are awesome, I love the music, the choreography and intensity.

Love, Love, Love it!
 
Trust in the LORD with all your heart.

BM2 kicks my butt too. Really I love the step sections, hate the power segment and I'm always glad when we get to the upper body portion. I can do it on a 6 inch step, but it's taken me a while to get there. I'll never be able to do it on an 8 inch step (well, never say never). I can't help but be impressed at the level of fitness Cathe and her crew exhibit. BM2 is one of my favorite workouts. The only reason I don't do it more often is because it's so long.

About Cardio Fusion. It is very hard to do the first section if you don't already know the routine because it starts with the finished version. It'll take some time to learn that and the only reason I can do it is I learned it broken down in BM2 and even then I had to rewind it a lot.
 
I did the Cardio Blast premix yesterday. Well, I started off on an 8 inch step but then when we got the second blast I had to take it down to 6.

I also had to take a little breather between combinations 2 & 3. It is so tough. I think it's her toughest step stuff yet.

I agree it shows how fit Cathe and her crew are - amazing!
