WOW, Cathe!! This one looks like fun!!! I might not even have to wait until "post-baby" to try this one! Of course, I will have to modify all the jumping but it looks like a blast!
I hope my team wins the SuperBowl, too! I would love to have that free Cathe travel mug! ;-)
 
Thanks Cathe!!!

This looks great. I started with week 2 and LOVED the Imax weight combo. I felt really worked out after that!!

Your the best!!
 
I made a small change to this rotation and really liked what I did.

I started with week 2 since I had just done some of the videos in week 1. However, instead of doing the same I-max work out from Monday on Wed and Fri on Wed I did Step, Jump, Pump and on Fri I did an Interval Run like so:

5 min warmup then stretch

7 - 30 second sprints with 1 minute recovery. This took about 11 minutes. Then..

I did the first weight sets Cathe said to do from the Imax circuit.

Then I repeated the 7 - 30sec sprints, did the 2nd weight set, then repeat the run portion, then the 3rd weight set. Stretch.

I felt really worked out and I did not get bored from doing Imax again.

Just thought I'd share.
