Hello Cathe & SNM,
Before I ask my question, I want to say that I'm very excited for Xtrain. I always look forward to everything you do Cathe, as it exceeds my expectations in what I want/need in an advanced workout. My heart & body just keeps getting better, and I owe it all to you . Thank you.
My question is regarding the two cardio workouts in Xtrain (mentioned in the title). Will there be repetition within the exercise drills? I ask this because there is somewhat of a "dread factor" between myself, intense cardio (hiit, Tabata, ect.) and repetition. IMO, to keep the dread factor at bay, repetition should be eliminated or kept to a bare minimum. Just a little background info: I can do all of your cardio with little/no modifications. I enjoy variety in my cardio routines and love everything from kickbox to step to hiit. Unfortunately, I do avoid workouts that require me to repeat drills (Cardio Core Circuit is a prime example). Although I do love that workout for providing me with a wonderful cardio session with no equipment in the courtesy of my home, I don't reach for it as much as I would like to . OTOH, gems like hiit 30/30, Intensity hiit sections (high/low), Imax 1, 2, 3 successfully get my HR into aerobic/anaerobic zones without the dread, solely based on the fact that there is no repetition within the drills. Those are the types of workouts I love and gravitate towards.
I'm sorry if I sound like a demanding, whiny, customer. My intention is not to come across that way. I'm just stating an honest personal preference, as I know many Cathletes feel the same. I completely understand that it is virtually impossible to please everyone all of the time, and I will continue to purchase and use your wonderful workouts for many, many years to come!
Thank you again
