Intensity of Cardio in CTX

[NathL]

Hi,

I'm thinking of getting the CTX series. I'm used to the intensity in Body Max 2, Step blast, Hardcore Extreme, Cardio fusion, etc. Is the intensity in CTX similar to these workouts or would I find it not intense enough? Are there other ones that you would recommend (I use a regular step)

Thanks
Nathalie

The intensity is the same, if not a little higher. But they are shorter - around 30 minutes. The workouts in this series are designed to give you a good 1 hour workout including cardio, weights, and abs and to work you hard.

The Ctx cardio is definitely more intense than 4 Day Split.

To date, CTX remains my all time fav Cathe series.

I am so glad you posted this question because I was at a loss for a workout to do today....couldn't make up my mind at all (and am obviously not following a rotation). But since you asked about it...I decided to make this series my rotation....THANK YOU!!! I did Power Circuit today and really enjoyed it. I think it's intense, but a whole lot of fun too!!!!

The intensity of the aerobic portions of CTX are pretty darned intense. I was thinking that since they were shorter they wouldn't be so hard. Boy was I wrong!

See, I don't think they are as intense. They are rated in the high 6's in the Cathe compendium. I haven't done them very often, though, maybe my learning curve is adversely affecting my intensity.

I wonder if they are rated high 6s due to their shorter length. If you did 2 CTX's back to back, I think it would rival most of Cathe's other high intensity workouts.

Chocolate IS the answer, regardless of the question.

Jody,
Your fitness progression is impressive!

I actaully enjoy CTX. The cardio is WAY more intense than the cardio in 4DS. When I do CTX I start working it in the WU as much as I can and I really give 150% and I feel nice and sweaty and ready for the weight work.
