IMAX

Hi!! I have IMAX3 and its my favorite workout (I must be nuts!). I was looking at the 1st 2, and they look fun as well. Are the different enough to justify the purchase? I know they're all the same style/format. How about difficulty? Thanks!!

I have all three, and yes I do think they are different enough, in intensity and tenor, to justify getting them. Interval Max (the original; on the same DVD as Rhythmic Step and MIC) has extremely uniform intervals with very little variation in the drills during the blasts themselves. Pure training and sweat, very very basic choreo. I-Max 2 has more of a "fun-factor" built into both the aerobic segments and the intensity blasts, and there are more vocal selections in the music. It is less intense, IMHO, than Interval Max or I-Max 3. Plus, I-Max 2 comes on the same DVD as Cardio & Weights, which is a much easier workout but comes with an awesome ab/core segment.

Yes...If nothing else you NEED Imax2..it may not be as tough as the other Imaxes..but loads of fun! I also like Imax (the original) but I don't do it as often as the other two. I think because the outfits give me pause. Imax2 is one of my favorite dvds...Good luck and I am always here to help you buy more!

I agree, Imax 2 is the funnest of the 3 although it's not intense as the others. Still it's a great workout and a real sweatfest. Also it comes with Cardio and Weights which is one of my favorite workouts.

Imax 1 and 3 are very intense. Almost too intense for me, but I do it on a 4" step and modify.

The original IMAX has more basic choreography but is still intense. IMAX 2 has a little bit more choreography which I enjoy and is intense as well. Since you have IMAX 3, which is the most choreographically challenging, the steps on either 1 or 2 should be easy for you to follow. The deciding factor would be the other workouts on the DVD's. Rythmic Step is great fun and MIC is a great workout too and they come with IMAX, great deal
