I have a couple routines I have gotten out of magazines, the one I have been doing is called Calorie Blaster (or something like that). It has intervals and builds up to two 6-minute runs. My runs are not that fast since I am not a runner, ends with a 5 minute cool-down. It is 45 minutes and I get a good workout.
I also have a treadmoves training for speed tape, which in my opinion is hard but I do make it through and it is almost 40 minutes.

Any hour long strength workout will work for MIS like Power Hour or if you have Bodymax you could do just the leg and upper body work at the end (not the step part at the beginning).
Any straight step workout will work for Step Fit like Power Max, Step Works, Step Blast w/o the challenge, Rhythmic Step, Cardio and Weights w/o the weight work. Step Fit is just straight stepping. So no intervals or circuits. If you have CTX, you could do a couple of just stepping portions together.
Hey Rhonda, I'd be interested in the specifics of your treadmill routine. How long is each interval etc.?
HTH,
Carla

Carla here is the routine I do:
Beginner Treadmill W/O - the Calorie Crunch Pyramid
Minutes Speed Incline
0-5 2.5 all on level incline
5-6 3.0
6-8 3.5
8-11 4.0
11-13 2.5
13-15 3.5
15-19 4.0
19-25 4.5
25-27 2.5
27-33 4.5
33-37 4.0
37-40 3.5
40-45 2.5
Options to modify - increase or decrease the speed by .5mph, elevate incline, or perform the workout in reverse order
There are two other workouts that I have not tried - they are more advanced:
The Fat Blaster
Minutes Speed Incline
0-5 3.5 Level
5-8 6.5 level
8-9 2.5 level
9-13 6.0 level
13-14 2.5 level
14-19 5.5 5%
19-20 2.5 5%

27-32 5.5 5%
32-33 2.5 level
33-37 6.0 level
37-38 2.5 level
38-41 6.5 level
41-45 2.5 level
options: increase or decrease speed by .5mph, change the first incline minutes 5-14 to 10% incline, chnage the last incline minutes 33-41 to 10% incline
The Terminator:
Minutes Speed Level
0-5 3.0 level
5-8 6.0 10%
8-9 4.0 10%

30-32 3.5 level
32-35 7.5 level
35-36 5.5 level
36-39 7.5 level
39-45 3.0 level
Options: Finish off the running efforts with 20 second sprints (1 MPH faster) and slow the recovery speeds to 2.5, increase the incline by 1% in each set, decrease speed by 1mph, do the entire workout on a level incline or set at one incline instead of changing.

Hey Rhonda,
Thank you so much. Those advanced ones look very interesting. I might have to give those a try. Thanks!!!
Mary:
You can sub the upper part of Bodymax for CTX Upper Body or you could use Pyramid Upper Body although that is a different style of lifting. CTX Upper is just straight lifting more for endurance.
I assume when you said Kickbox you meant either Cardio Kicks or KPC for CTX Kickbox, and yes, either of those will work. CTX is only about 30 minutes, I think. So you could just do a longer workout with the other two or shorten them down.
IMAX2 is trickier. You need a workout that has intervals. The step portion of MIC has some intervals at the end, but only three. The Step Blast Challenge has intervals (I think). You could piece those together maybe. Or CTX Step and Intervals (if you have it) would work. That's all I can think of now.
HTH,
Carla
