Whew..Imax after 5+ mo. hiatus

[NinjaMom]

Hi All,

I'm feeling rather down with myself this morning. I decided to do Imax today which I haven't done in 5+ months (Been so busy with the newer DVD's). Anyway, I really struggled through the whole thing and couldn't even finish #10x( I used an 8" step and wondered if that had any impact since I've been using 6" with the newer workouts (plus I'm only 5' 3/4"). I used to be able to complete this one...certainly not as well as Cathe...but did all the intervals without feeling like I was going to die! It is just humbling to put aside a workout that you can complete and try it months later only to find that it is like you are doing it for the first time. I have to admit Imax and I have a love/hate relationship but I'm adding it back in and I'm going to "nail" it or else......!

Thanks for letting me vent

Good for you for adding it back in.

As much as I love Cathe's other cardio workouts, I-Max The Original remains the gold standard for intensity for me. To me it's a true training workout. I do it every other Sunday.

You'll be surprised how quickly you get it back, JJ!

Hi JJ!

I have a feeling that you are just having a 'not up to par' day and the next time you pop in Imax you will feel much better!

Great attitude!

Thank you A-Jock & Kandy. I just knew my friends here would understand and make me feel better I guess I was just surprised with how tough it felt especially since I have been doing Imax2 on a regular basis. IMHO the original Imax is definitely the most difficult and intense Cathe workout. I plan on doing it again next week so we'll see what happens.....

An 8" step seems a little high for someone of your height. I usually stick with 6" and I'm 5'3".
