Power Max

I needed a steady state cardio to do last night and dusted off Power Max. I hadn't done it in nearly two years. I had forgotten how much fun it is! Even though my brain couldn't remember it very well, my body seemed to know what was coming next throughout the tape. It was like meeting up with an old friend and not needing to make any small talk, just renewing the great old rapport. (Maybe I need to get out more....)

Ann -

Would you classify it as easier? I think there are a couple on ebay now and I wasn't going to get it, but I read somewhere else it is an easier step tape.

I have had tons of recommendations but so far, none for that one! I have Wedding Tape, and Step Heat, Step Max & Mega Step Blast on their way to me, should I bother with this one?

Thanks! Kathy
 
Hi, Kathy:

There was a time when folks around here used to use Power Max as a bench mark (no pun intended) of difficulty, but with the last few series being somewhat higher intensity, I guess it would be in a less difficult category. It builds gradually to a greater and greater intensity and impact level, which I think is hard because the more fatigued you are the more challenging the moves are. The music is slower than some, but I think that is because you spend a lot of time in the air. I also have two bad knees and a bad back, so I'm not a good one to answer this question. I hope others will join in.

I love all of Cathe's step routines. I'd be delighted if her next project were nothing but step workouts. They're all different, creative, challenging, fun, and they never get boring. If you're choreo challenged PM would be a good one because some of the choreography is relatively easy and very well broken down, while some is quite hard, so you'd gain confidence with the easier stuff that would carry you through the tougher parts. Unless you can't do impact at all, I''d get it. Sorry so long-winded....

I like doing that with those tapes.I have Power Max,Step Fit and Step MAx.I don't do them very often but when I do I enjoy it.It's like listening to a song you haven't heard in a long time and you still some how remember the words.Everytime I do Step Max I remember how great a workout it is.I haven't did powermax in a while.I should dust it off as well....

PowerMax was my first Cathe video. I love it. As Cathe says on the video...they call it PowerMax for a reason. Alot of power moves. It is a great step tape. Not too fancy with the moves...just a solid workout. I would recommend it.

I just did this one again last week. I too hadn't done it in a while and was having a good ol'time! Susan
 
Kathy, GO FOR IT! This was my third after Mega Step Blast and Step Max and I found it to be the best "next" step workout. IMHO, it increases the intensity just enough not to be intimidating but challenging. You may also want to consider Step Fit. It's fun and moves a bit faster than PM and fits in nicely with MSB and SM. Good Luck!
 
SeaChell - Oh great!! There is a StepFit on ebay too :)

I need to ban myself from these forums!!! I have collected appx 20 Cathe tapes since Christmas!! I LOVE HER!
