Is Intensity Series too hard for non-advanced exerciser...

[YasBeFit]

Hi Cathe,

I know that all videos should be modified for one's current exercise level, but when I see terms like "Terminator" and "For those ready for the next level" I wonder how fit one should be before trying the new Intensity series.

This month I'm resuming my exercise program after a 3 month break.( I'm a Yo-Yo exerciser ). I think I was at intermediate level before I stopped-exercised 4-5 x week, could run 5 miles, and could actually stand after doing Leaner legs with a 40# barbell (milestones for me!!)

I've had great success modifying your videos over the last 2-3 years, but was thinking that the level of the current videos might be a little out of reach.

What would be a good gauge for me to determine when I'm ready for this video series? BTW, I have most of the videos you've produced over the last 4 years, so I've got variety and challenging covered.

Thanks for pushing me to higher fitness levels! I just need you to make a video on how to stay motivated and committed over the long term!! (maybe a subliminal tape!);-)

Well, I'm an intermediate exersicer, and with the exception of Imax2 which I've not done yet, and any of the terminator which I'm kicking myself for not preordering, I've gotten along just fine.
Do I modify, YES! And I usually can't use the same weights as Cathe, But I'm hoping to very soon.
Don't sell yourself short. Your muscles will kick in with that wondeful memory, and they will come back faster than you think they will.
