Imax2 vs. Imax2 Intervals on The Terminator

[AllysonR]

For anyone who has all the Intensity Series DVDs:

What's the difference between Imax2 and having the Imax2 warmup, 10 intervals and stretch on The Terminator?

I did a rough estimate of the total time of all the Imax2 sections on The Terminator and it's almost the same length of time as the Imax2 workout; however, the length of time for each individual interval is not the same length of time on Imax2 and on The Terminator perhaps because the interval, blast and recovery listed for Imax2 are summarized and listed as a single interval on The Terminator.

I currently program my DVD player so that I do all the Imax2 sections from The Terminator in sequence, but I feel like having something longer/more intense.

How significant is the difference?

I'd appreciate some info because I'm thinking of taking advantage of the free shipping on existing Cathe workouts if I preorder the Hardcore Series.

Allyson,

The IMAX 2 workout by itself has 2 more intervals in it than The Terminator workout (IMAX Extreme). That is the difference, if I understood your question correctly.

Have a great day!!

If you are talking about the Imax extreme workout on the Terminator the total running time is 1 hour and 14 minutes. It has 8 intervals leaving out the first and last interval. It has the Cardio & Weights cardio segments with the compound weight segments in between every two intervals. All of the Terminator workouts are fairly lengthy, the viper being the longest at 1 hour and 19 min.. There is more weights in the other two workouts though. I really like I Max Extreme for not having to do more than one workout and getting in 1 hr and I think about 4 minutes of cardio. I did this one this morning after a three day break.

Thank you for replying, Beverly and Diane Sue.

I'm able to program my DVD to take the Imax2 sections from Imax Xtreme, the Viper and the Gauntlet and play them in chronological order: the warmup, 10 Imax2 intervals and the stretch.

I read the DVD chapter breakdowns of the Imax 2 intervals from the three Terminator workouts and Imax2, but I still don't understand what I'm missing by not having Imax2. If the difference is significant, I'll buy it because I need more interval training workouts.
