WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
A completely different animal from Imax 1 and just as thrilling!
Cathe actually suggests that you view it twice before doing, but hard-headed me jumped right in! My preview was actually while doing it! Cathe's cueing really is so sharp that it was easy to follow except for some fancy moves that will probably take ME a few more tries to do.
Lots of powerful leg work! There were air born jacks and plyo jacks early on, like in interval 2 or 3? Tuck jumps came early also, like interval 4 or 5?
I kid you not when I tell you intervals #6-8 are a blur at this moment, and the only reason I can remember #9 is because "Cathe lost her mind on that one!" Words cannot describe that interval! There are 8 long hop turns, 4 plyo hops straddling the step, 2 jumps, 2 jacks, turn, 2 jacks, then repeat the whole sequence like 5 more times! My legs gave out after 3 times! Literally gave out! I was done! I marched in place and watched Cathe like she was absolutely out of her mind!
Interval 10 was a piece of cake after #9, and for anyone that has Mindy Mylrea's Extreme Intervals/Pump Party, there is a "hint of Mindy" in this interval with alternating squat jumps. I really liked that it ended with a tough, but fun interval.
Also, another "hint of Mindy" in an earlier interval with some fast footwork that puts you in mind of the "football drill" interval that Mindy does.
This was one fun workout! Tough, but do-able with modifications. I actually used the platform of my step bench (5.5") since this was my first time doing it, I didn't want to kill myself tripping off my 6" step! Good call because some of the fancier footwork would have landed me on my butt for sure!
Oh, and there is a 30 second water break after interval #5 which I thought was really cool!
The aerobic parts were really fun choreography, not too tricky, but some will take me another few times to nail down. Each blast is a blast! There really wasn't one of them that was "easy", just "easier" than one that will kick your butt!
I also like that where the 30 sec. water break comes will make this video easy to do in 2 parts. You could do a 30 minute interval workout by doing just the first 5 intervals on a day you want a good workout, or a quick interval workout but don't have an hour.
