Hi Everyone! We will be giving you a thorough breakdown of each tape over the next couple of weeks.

I will start with Low Max!

Low Max is a 70 minute High Intensity Low Impact workout performed on an 8 inch step height (this height is optional and no higher than 8 inches is recommended). The workout begins with an 8 minute warm up and is followed by 7 low impact step combo's alternated with 7 low impact intensity blasts. A 6 minute stretch completes the workout.

All of the step combo's are approximately 5 minutes in length and all of the intensity blasts are approximately 3 minutes in length. The combo's are broken down with just enough learning curve so that they do not become overly repetitive for future workouts.

Step Combo #1....You will see some mambo's, pivot turns, rock horse variations and things of this nature.

Blast #1....Low impact defensive squats with rhythmic changes and patterns to bring the heart rate up while shaping the thighs.


Step Combo #2...A more athletic/kickbox step approach with dynamic movements.

Blast #2....A long series of rhythmic lunge kicks that will surely elevate the heart rate a shape the legs.


Step Combo #3....Slightly intricate step choreography with a bit more learning curve included. This has some triple steps, step sweeps, pivots, slap claps etc.

Blast #3....Dynamic outerthigh movements and sculpting drills.


Step Combo #4....a slightly tricky combo but easy to catch on.

Blast #4......Slam It's and leg drills


Step Combo #5.....A straight forward combo consisiting of high leg kicks and other moves

Blast #5.....high intensity leg drills with a few variations


Step Combo #6....a fun march, mambo, and shuffle combo.

Blast #6....low speed skaters, hammer punch lunges and other low dynamic moves


Step Combo #7....A fun and unique kickbox combo that is a little tricky but worth the effort:)

Blast #7....Tap n side kicks followed by low reaching lunges.

A two minute cooldown followed by a 6 minute stretch.


Music: Bk Howe Productions
A mix of mostly recognizeable top 40, dance, and club music. Both instrumental and lyrical mixes make this upbeat and energetic sountrack a perfect compliment to the workout.

Outfits:
All outfits are by "Oh My Bod" with the exception of Cathe's pants (Bluefish, possibly discontinued) and Cedie's black tank (Hotskins, possibly discontinued)
 
ooo the variety in this sounds just fantastic..lunges, skaters, slam its, and some kick box. This has me very motivated!

Cathe,
i just want to tell you that i am extremely excited about this workout. I am excited for all of the Hardcores, but I am looking forward to low-impact high-intensity from you, and I know you will deliver.
I want to take a moment to let you know how much I have been truly enjoying, and using a LOT, your new Basic Step/Body Fusion DVD and High Step Circuit DVD. The more I do the Basic Step 25 minute workout, the more I love it. It has become one of my favorite add on step routines. It really fulfills the need for a no-brainer step workout when I don't want to think or work too hard, and alternately, it supports another frequent workout mood- when I want to work moderately hard but not think too hard (I just add 1 lb. gloves and/or raise my step). All this, but I never find it boring! It's fun! I also love the High Step Circuit because it suits me when I need to get back into my workouts after a few days lay-off, and it kind of eases me back in - but I can make it harder if you wish, which is so important, because often what happens is, I get into my 'easier' Cathe workout, and you inspire me to work much harder than I originally felt like I had the energy to.
Anyway, thank you so much for all the options. Happy Thanksgiving!
Kathy W.
