Cardio&Weights similar to CMAX?

[R_Lam]

Hi,
You mentioned that Muscle Endurance has similarities with PH ... is C&W similar to CMax? Cmax seemed more cardiovascular with upper body emphasis than Power cicuit being more on legs. Would you say C&W and Imax2 would be the better choice than Boot camp if I want to focus on weight loss?

Hi! They are all perfect for weight loss. I suggest using all three and shaking things up.

As far as the similarities between Circuit Max and Cardio and Weights. They both are total body fitness workouts with a strong emphasis on cardio. The cardio cycles are each followed by upper/lower compound activity.

They differ in the following ways:

CMAX has three styles of cardio (hi/lo, kickbox, step) and Cardio/Wts has ALL step cardio cycles.

Cmax has two minutes of upper/lower compound while Cardio/Wts has one minute followed immediately by two minutes of heavier weight training for upper body only (per cycle).

Cmax has a brief plank session at the end for core work while Cardio/Wts has an 8 minute core training routine.

Hope this helps!

Circuit Max is my favourite workout at the moment. I think I'm going to love Cardio and Weights too. Can't wait!!!
