Power Max Revisited

[xschwarz]

This morning I reached for Power Max after my own 5 minute warm up. I only did step combo #1 and #2 (about 35 minutes) and cannot believe the workout I got. I burned 373kcal, my HR was almost always between 150-160. I know that Cathe builds her combo's in a more repetative fashion before combining them but every single repeat is a real workout here!(quater hop turns, long hop turns, scissor jumps, etc...)

I just put blinders on for the thongs and try not to hear the old style "woot, woot". But I actually enjoy the old music (Whoomp There It Is)while really working hard on this 8" routine. Even though some of the moves are linear and non-complex, they are extremely effective.

If my memeory serves me correctly, I haven't even worked up to the hard parts yet. Try it for a change, you may be surprised!!

I love pulling out old workouts for variety. PowerMax is a good workout. I have so many of her workouts it's not difficult to find one I haven't done before.

Haven't done that one in a while. It is a hard core step work out

so to speak isn't it? I like the tunes too, better go dust it off!

Yes! Love Power Max! I do this one about once a month - it is one of my all time favorite steady state cardio step workouts. Since I got this when it first came out I don't even notice the thongs and I have to tell you, when I first got this I used to alternate this and Step Jam and Step Max every week for months (maybe a year!)!

I love this one! My other "old time" favorite is Step Max - both really solid and fun!

This is my favorite older Cathe workout, for all the reasons that everyone said. Keeps the heart rate up nicely, and the music is fun. Yeah, those thongs are pretty funny, they remind me of the old Kathy Smith step tape I did for years. The other thing that makes me chuckle is when she says "Looks hot!" LOL!

I love all Cathe's cardio on the Cardio Hits DVD. I cannot decide which one is my favourite out of the three. I may have a soft spot for Power Max because that was my first Cathe workout.

Cathe's always ahead of her time even with phrases like that....so why does Paris Hilton get credited with the catch phrase 'hot'?;-) :+

PowerMax rocks!!!
