It is similar in style, but not in intensity. Circuit Max is on a par with IntervalMax One, in other words, as challenging as anything on the market, while Cardio and Weights is on the other extreme, one of Cathe's easiest cardios.
They both have circuits of cardio followed by compound exercises. CircuitMax has 6 circuits, then at the end she adds some back and chest work.
Cardio and Weights has 4 circuits with cardio, compound exercises, then upper body alone. I find this workout to be so easy I only use the premixes on easy days, I never do the whole thing. CircuitMax is for a day when I'm ready for some really tough relentless cardio. My heartbeat goes high and stays there.

I have to agree with mogambo here..They are similiar but Circuit Max is much more intense. The cardio is more along the lines of MIC i.e. hi/lo, hi and then step. Circuit Max has hi/lo, hi, kickbox step and just step.
I can just breeze through C&W but Circuit Max kicks my BUTT!
But somehow I love x( every minute of it... You won't be disappointed. :7
Just my 2cents.

i think the two tapes are different on several counts. C & W has four longer segments of step only cardio. Circuit Max has six shorter segments of hi-low, kickbox, and step. C & W has strength segments that start with lighter weights and compound movements, then move to heavier weights. In Circuit Max Cathe uses lighter 5 and 8 pound dumbbells throughout. A lot of people find the intensity of Circuit Max to be higher. To me, they're both challenging and I'm glad to have to have both of them!
