Hello everyone. I'm wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions about what Cathe cardio workouts and/or premixes to do if I only have 30 minutes. (I sometimes like to tack on a quick cardio session after a weight workout, but I usually only have about 30 minutes.) I've used MIC hi/lo a few times for this purpose, but I'm trying to think of some other ideas, too. Any suggestions. Thanks for your input.
Help! What to do with 30 minutes?

Hi Deborah. Here are some suggestions:
Step Blast Combos 1,2 and 3 - 31 mins.
IMAX 2 Blasts Only - 28 mins.
IMAX 3 - All 10 Blasts only - 24 mins.
IMAX 3 - Step Only - 31 mins.
IMAX 3 - Intervals 1-5 including warmup & stretch - 35 mins.
IMAX 3 - Intervals 6-10 including warmup & stretch - 37 mins.
Low Max - all 7 blasts - 23 minutes
Boot Camp Cardio Only - 20 minutes
Step, Jump & Pump - all step - 26 mins.
Kick, Punch & Crunch - Cardio Conditioning 37 mins.
Maybe A-Jock can come up with a mish-mosh for you.

hi Deborah,
I actually made a little chart because sometimes I want to tack on a 30 min. ish workout:
Some in the list are not 30 min but are intense:
HSTA cardio only
BC cardio only
KM challenge only
any CTX cardio
Body Max cardio only(not the cardio with leg work)
MIC hi/lo
MIC step only
KPC cardio challenge (I think 40 min.)
SJP step cardio only
Imax 3 blast only
Imax 2 blast mania,or #1-5 or #6-10
Imax #6-10
Circuit Max hi/lo only
I may have missed some but I think that's most of them.

Stop me if you've heard these already (reprinted from an earlier response to Sooooooooooooosan):
I-Max 3 warm-up and blast only premix (warm-up about 9 minutes; blast-only premix 24 minutes) then cooldown
Rhythmic Step warm-up (~9 minutes)
Body Max power circuit segment without the squats/lunges (just hit the "next" buttoon on the remote) (I almost corrected "buttoon" but I like it better that way) (14 minutes)
HSTA cardio only premix (12 minutes) (total of 35 minutes cardio)
Cooldown of choice
10-10-10 warm-up and kickbox (~14 minutes)
KPC high intensity drills (~15 minutes; do start at the "high intensity drills" selection on the Chapter menu)
Boot Camp kickbox premix (~6 minutes {?}
Boot Camp cooldown
Circuit Max warm-up, hi/lo and floor kickbox segments , fast-forwarding through the resistance cycles (~25 minutes give-or-take)
10-10-10 hi/lo segment (~9 minutes)
10-10-10 cooldown
Boot Camp cardio only premix including warm-up (~17 min?)
SJP hi/lo add-on premix (~18:30 min)
SJP cooldown
Rhythmic Step warm-up
Rhythmic Step challenge at the end (all of the previous combos done in a string I think)
Step Blast blast challenge
Step Blast cool down
(running time no clue)

Here are some more -
Boot Camp cardio only premix (including warm-up)
Kick Max Blast Challenge
Kick Max cooldown
Body Max warm-up and traditional step routine (even though this is steady-state, it still has the whoop-factor); Body Max cooldown
Also retrieve my rotation on the Rotations Forum "A-Jock's Faux-CTX Hardcore Rotation") (just go to the Advanced Search and use the keyword "faux" and it'll come up); all of the cardio is between 30-40 minutes to keep it consistent with CTX's cardio.
And . . . just do the CTX cardio segments as produced, one each day.
Wait a minute . . . another mish-mosh coming on . . .
CTX 10-10-10 warm-up, kickbox and hi/lo; then Step Intervals interval blast, then Step Intervals cooldown.

I second the wow! Aqua-Jock, you're fantastic with all these options. My uncreative mind just does the CTX cardios as produced. Thanks for the extra ideas!
