Hello, all:
Here's something I discovered yesterday while doing IMAX for the first time since coming off back surgery in December: since I really have to watch how much and what kind of imopact I do (and I know I've seen others post about the same limitations) when an interval came along that was too bouncy, I took the legs down to low impact and put kickbixing arm drills in for the upper body.
I got a similar intensity to what I used to get with IMAX in my leaping days, and didn't have to sacrifice the benefit of working in intervals.
Maybe next time I'll try it with 1-2 lb. wrist weights (for the blasts only). I hope others find this useful; I felt like I'd invented sliced bread because I was missing IMAX so much. Please post if you have any other ideas like this, or to let me know if this worked for you. Thanks.
