IMAX3 killed me tonight

I tried IMAX 3 for the first time tonight, on a 4" step mind you, and about died. Now I know I haven't been the most faithful exerciser these past few months, but really.

A kabillion plie jacks? I don't think so. I mean if I ever want to crack walnuts with my thighs, yeah, then I guess this would be the workout, but it just didn't stop!

It kept going and going and then I saw God and she was beckoning me toward the light and all the Saints in heaven, who all smelled suspiciously like coconut oil, gathered around my limp body and said you can only tuck jump your way into heaven, babay, so get yer fat ass back out there and finish that workout.

Any other IMAX 3 weaklings out there besides me?
 
LMAO! You cracked me up with that! I don't have IMAX 3 so I can't comment beyond that but I thought your post was quite funny! :7
 
OH my ...I am laughing my a$$ off...That there was just too funny! Ok I can't stop laughing...I agree though imax3 which I have only done parts of from HC extreme is too many jumps for me! I like kathryn modify! Smelled like coconut oil!!! OMG you are a riot!

I've had a few out of body experiences with IMAX3 myself. I definitely still have to modify. One of these days these old legs are going to go the distance on those plie jacks.... maybe;)
 
That was freaking hilarious! Thanks, I needed that laugh today! :D And yes, I feel that way about Imax3 as well as A LOT of Cathe's workouts!

Are you sure it was God and the saints? I've heard rumours that it's Satan who is using the tantalizing coconut oil to tempt people into the fires. And as our own Materialsgirl quite rightly pointed out, plie jacks are the spawn of Satan}(

Thanks for the morning giggle:)
 
One of these days I am going to pull it out & count. I wonder if Cedie is keeping an accurate count. It does seem to go on and on doesn't it?!!!!

LMAO! You've got it right.

It's one set of 24, one set of 16 and two sets of 8. Which makes 56 Godforsaken plie jacks. But of course, we have that lovely criss cross "recovery" in between, so it's not so bad;)
 
LOL that is hilarious.

IMAX3 makes me feel like I don't understand English and I've never moved before in my life. I have to modify it immensly.

:7
 
LMAO! You kill me! That pretty much describes my feelings during the endless plie jacks (most definitely the spawn of Satan, as I have said many times over). I also do IMAX3 on a 4" step because I, too, am an IMAX weakling. It does get easier the more you do it. Not easy, NEVER easy... but easiER. I still can't get through all the plie jacks though. Well, I certainly ain't clickin' my heels together! ;) :p
 
Got me laughing so hard it hurts!

IMAX3 is the ultimate boredom buster - if it doesn't kill you first!

I have been trying to modify it here and there so I can keep using it while pregnant, but it's not easy! And I thought it was just me with those plie jacks! What is that 'recovery' all about?! MY version of a recovery would be to lay on the floor and try to BREATHE! My legs don't even seem to be a part of my body at that point...
 
You know, you may be onto something there! It explains a lot! Cathe and her crew are leprachauns! They're all little, they all click their heels. It fits so perfectly!:p
 
I have been doing Cathe workouts for about a year now and I swore I would never be able to do the IMAXes, any of them, due to the intensity and impact. Well I like IMAX2 now. Alot. On my 6" step. No modifications. But I think IMAX3 will always be beyond me. It's for superhumans, not for me. I can run 3 or 4 miles but IMAX3 leaves me staring at the tv w/ my mouth hanging open in astonishment and exhaustion. I bow to your superpowers, you IMAX3 do-ers.
 
Hey there! I agree with you about Imax 3! By the time interval #10 comes around my head is in lala land. It's insanely tough but you gotta love it. Hang in there and remember mind over matter with the plie jacks.
 
OMG, you are so funny! I love IMAX 3 and after the first time of doing it, can now do it with no modifications. I love this workout and it seems to fly by for me.

Yeah, I'm right there with you! I remember doing this for the first time and the first blast is the taps - I knew I was in for it then. I finished, and I think my DH had to wipe me off the floor... Holy Toledo! And YES I do think Cathe and her crew are Leprechauns! On that last set of 8 I was making feeble attempts to get my feet off the ground, and making it 2 out 3 times, but there was no way those heels were anywhere near each other.

Thanks so much for the laugh!!!
