IMAX2

IMAX2 is on schedule for me today and I'm half dreading it, half excited. I've been doing Cathe's May rotation and I'm really enjoying it so far.
On a side note, I was always under the impression that sweating meant the release of toxins from the body as well, but I just learned, in one of my exercise science classes, that its a myth. Sweating is a function only meant to cool the body. I was kind of disappointed to learn that...

Hi Luxx and CurlyQ!
I just did IMAX2 this morning, and it has become one of my favorite workouts! It has that oft-mentioned "fun factor" for me (well, except maybe for Interval 9
), and I always feel like I've really accomplished something after I'm done. I so enjoy the moves and the music, and I vow that one day I WILL be able to complete ALL those !@#$*! plie-jacks!
Glad you're both having fun!

I am still having trouble with this, but then I am a total Klutz and step has never been my forte. ;-) I am still trying at times, though I will often opt for a run when I want complete cardio. Going straight forward seems to agree with me. :+
I find that if I just try to have fun with it, rather than keep to each and every step, it is more effective, and well--FUN!

I've been doing this one at least once a week for the past 3 weeks or so. Totally, I've probably done it around 10 times or so. This week when I did it, I REALLY REALLY enjoyed it because I got 99 percent of the steps down. What a great workout! One of my favorites.
I hope Cathe comes out with an IMAX3 one of these days.

Hey everyone!
I got the whole Intensity Series a little while back but I'd been putting off IMAX2 - mainly because I thought I wasn't ready for it.. Well, I finally took the plunge 3 days ago and I had a really great time doing it. I didn't find the steps to be too hard luckily, but the intensity was too much sometimes - so I wound up "recovering" ahead of time. In any case, I did feel great when I was done and I was sweating up a storm. I can't wait to do it again tomorrow!!!!;-)

Luxx...I am like you in that I really enjoy sweating up a storm...makes me 'feel' like I've accomplished a good workout.
curlyq...so does that mean all the people who have saunas have spent that money for naught? Wasn't the whole selling point of a sauna based on the theory of sweating makes you rid the body of toxins and impurities?!!
Boy, I do know one thing...if I've had a few glasses of wine or a few beers the night before a vigorous cardio workout, I will sweat twice as much as normal and just be dying for water the entire time! Not the picture of fitness we all strive for!
