Please rank the impact of the three IMAXes

I haven't done any of the IMAXes lately due to plantar faciitis, but I just got a cortisone shot and am feeling pretty good. I'd like to try one of these again, but I want to start with the one with the lowest impact. The problem is, I can't remember how they rank. Could you guys rank these 1 to 3 for me, with 1 being the one with the LEAST impact?

Thanks in advance,
Shelbygirl
 
IMO, they all have a significant amount of impact, but if I had to rank them, they would be:

1. IMAX2
2. IMAX1
3. IMAX3

The nice thing about IMAX1 is Cathe shows every blast modified, so you could do the modified versions, if you like. Or, can you do LowMax?

HTH,

I find Interval Max (the original) and IMAX2 to be pretty close.

Some blasts in IMAX3 are 'off the charts" impact done as-is, but can be modified (like stepping down off the step instead of jumping from step to floor).

Some people do high-impact moves like in the IMAX series on a rebounder, which is much gentler on the knees.
 
I agree with Sandra. 1 actually comes pretty close to 3 though. I always have a hard time getting through Interval 10 (leaps to side, air jumps, tuck jumps, jumping jacks.)

I agree with Sandr's rating and I know you didn't ask but Imax 3 is my favorite!!! I just wish the music was a lot louder in this one!
