modifying imax 3

[sunsdaughter]

hi all!
i recently bought imax 3 and LOVE it! awesome workout!
there are parts of it, though, that kick my butt...especially the interval where you jump the length of the step, jump to the side, turn around, and tuck jump....i can't quite jump the length of the step, especially in time to cathe et al...does anyone have any recommendations on how best to modify this interval?
looking forward to hearing your suggestions!
thanks!

I suggest jumping as far as you can down the length of the step, and rather than doing a lateral jump toward the step as is demonstrated, laterally jump away from the step then do your tuck jump so that you don't hit the step. The more you do this one the longer your jumps forward will become, so stick with it!

When they do the tuck jumps, I just jump forward so I can catch my breath before the real jump forward. This way I'm not as winded and it puts me in place for the side jump to the other side of the bench. And when we do the double riqueshe' (sp?), I do a double knee low impact on the bench when I get really winded.
