I was just reading the reviews and intensity levels of both muscle max and muscle endurance. I have the dvd with musle endurance and boot camp which I love. I am thinking I don't need the muscle max for that reason they look very similar.

For those of you that have both which do you Honestly like better and why? I am trying to decide if I need muscle max or not.

Thanks in advance would love your comments and replys

Hi Deb....I like MuscleMax better. Could be because it's newer?...I feel it is tougher than Muscle Endurance and I love the band work....hope this helps...:)...Carole
 
Hi Carole

I think I will order it right now then. I love band workouts too. My Birthday is July 5th I was alsmost a fire cracker so that would be a great gift woo-hoo.How time flys I will be 49 but I feel pretty fit.

One more question : In muscle Max it doesn't seem like there are as many or any step ups as there is in muscle endurance. The step ups in muscle endurance kill me there must be a hundred of them.

Is the music pretty good? I think I will wait for your reply before I order it. I wonder if I should order from this sight or Collage.

I am wanting to get at least 2 full body weight workouts a week. That is my goal anyway. I will mix it up with taebo, bike riding,treadmill and some of Cathes workouts too.

Thank you

Your picture is great!!:)

I like them both and use them both. I think you can get good use out of both if doing a rotation where you do endurance workouts a couple imes a week, It will give you a change of pace to have them both.

Deb....no, not as many step-up/leg presses...thankfully! They are not my fav either. In MM they are done with the band which is nicer. here are the leg exercises:

Dumbbell Sqauts
Barbell Squats
Barbell Static Lunges

then after back you work the legs again

Band Leg Presses
Dumbbell Plie squats (twice)

I like the music in MM, although The Intensity Series music has always been my fav!.

Thanks for the nice compliment....:)...Carole
 
Thanks Carole

I am ordering right now woo hoo I am excited now. It does sound like they are a lot different and good in both ways. I can't wait

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME HERE IS TO MY HEALTH!! Well it isn't until the 5th but I love buying my own presents.

Carole
when I get it I wwill let you know.

one more thing I guess I will need a band. Does it come with it? I have a band that I use with my pilates workouts but maybe I will need one with more intensity.

Thank you so much for your help

Deb:)
 
Deb,

Sorry. I am not Carole. The MM does not come with the band. It was for poeople who ordered the entire Hard Core series. I think your pilates bands is the very same one that Cathe uses. As long as it is 6 feet long, you should not have problem.

BTW, MM is my fav workout. You will love this one.
Have fun.
 
Sorry Deb....I missed this post yesterday. Babybird is right, MM does not come with a band. I got mine at this site http://www.fwonline.com/dbcutlong.htm Cathe uses the green one in MM. I got the pink one (light resistance) and then the heavier ones too, purple and silver....very reasonable....:)...Carole
 
I have them both and love them both. They are different workouts.

I like the band work in Muscle max and I find I can use heavier weights in that workout.

Ofcourse, Muscle endurance is one of my favorite workouts - especially that muscle endurance/bootcamp combo.
 
Hi Carole,

If you order from Collage, you have up to 1 month to return their product for any reason. At Cathe.com the product must be defective to return it. For this reason I have been ordering from Collage.

Hi Carole

I got muscle max today. I am going to do it tomorrow. I ordered the bands from the websight you suggested and got all four. For now I will use one of my pilate bands to give it a try. I am sure it is great. I love the outfits the crew has on. I am looking forward to do this dvd 1 or 2x a week and mixing up my cardio. Thanks for all your help. I will let you know how I like it.

Thanks for everything

Deb:) :)
 
You are welcome Deb...I think you'll have fun with it...:)...I love using the bands myself. In fact as leg presses are not my fav exercise I do them with bands now all the time...I'll wait for your review...:)...Carole
 
Thanks for the tip. I also hate the step ups. I just ordered 3 of the bands also. I have been meaning to go to a store to look for someone and can never think about it. With the website at my fingertip....I could not resist. I have Gym Style back, shoulders and biceps ---so getting the bands allows me to complete this workout as is. Thanks. I have never used a band before, so I hope it is fun.
