Lo Max!!

HOLY @#$&!!
Okay, Lo Max came in the mail yesterday and I just did it for the first time this morning. Holy cow! That's a workout. I only did up to Interval 3 but I did Interval 3 four times over and over to really get the hang of it. So I ended up doing 45 minutes. It's hard. It'll get easier right? Those blasts............. I know, it'll be no biggie just like the rest of them when you get used to them. Was anyone else blown away with their first time with Lo Max?:7

I personally STILL think Low Max is one of the hardest videos that I own!! I guess I'm just not as strong in my leg muscles, but each time I do it I'm still blown away!!
I like having the option of doing the step only as well - that also gives you a good workout!

Thanks for your input!! I think it's really hard and I love a challenge. hee hee
I don't think I'll get through the whole thing til after I have this baby!
I see it's your first...how are you feeling? Any cravings???

Hey CurlyQ!
We're really close with our due dates! Is this your first too?
I haven't really had many specific cravings yet, but I have had the general urge to eat a lot of carbs!! I'm actually HOPING I get some type of stereotypical pregnancy craving- like the "Oh man I must have <blank> RIGHT NOW!!" I think that would be so interesting to see what it would be, and indulging! :9 Have you had any??
I think Lo Max is tough even before being preggo! I have to admit that I'm pulling out some of my old Firms to do lately, I get too nervous about the intensity that I can't seem to back away from when I do Cathe!!

I am still using Lowmax but have lowered the step height to 6 inches. I still get a good work out without getting my heart rate up too high.

HI Ruppie!!
This is my second baby!! I had lots more cravings with my first and BAD fattening cravings!! I gained 45 pounds, which is a lot for a 5'3 size 2 chica. But I took it all off and more from the Cathe videos, quickly. So these dvd's rock!
I totally found out what I was having cuz if it was a girl I would go crazy with all the adorable stuff! And it was fun!! I will find out what this one is the end of Feb. Can't wait!!
Right now I crave chicken sandwiches, which is so funny cuz I couldn't go near chicken my 1st preg. And of course, nachos and potatoes with cheese!! But I'm trying not to give in too much, we still have a while and it doesn't matter how you carry, in that last month you get HUGE!!!
I've been craving corn nuts, hee hee. I want tuna everyday but we can only have it once a week.

You are totally okay to do high impact unless you're high risk, don't worry. My father in law is an ob/gyn and he says to continue doing whatever I was doing before. If you're body says stop than stop. But I've been stepping away and trust me Lo Max kicks my butt!! But I still do it, at least now til the belly starts getting in the way. LOL.
