OMGosh. I preordered the DVDs in September. I've read the posts and couldn't bear to wait so....my best friend and I ordered the VHS series to hold us over. But wait -- I borrowed the Rhythmic Step DVD from someone over the holiday (I looooove RS) and finally got the courage to do Interval Max, which brings me to the point (finally). I could hardly make it through Interval Max! How will I ever make it through the new intensity series?!? Can anyone compare Interval Max with one of the new tapes? Yikes! Maybe I should use only one riser.
Why did I bother ordering the new series?!?

Hi Shell,
i don't use ANY risers on my step, so you are a very brave lady to start with !!!!!!!!
And, don't worry about Imax 1, I should think ALOT of Cathe fans modify IMAX 1, anyway (me, included, and I have been doing IMAX 1 since mid October !!!!!!! :-wow). I still can hardly make it through Imax 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am afraid though I can't compare Imax 1 with Imax 2, though anything with the Pina Colada song in it has my thumbs up any day !!!!!! :7

Shell,
I have never made it through IMAX 1 without modifications. However, I did make it through IMAX 2 using modifications. I don't know if it's because I was just so darned psyched about doing it or if I really had an easier time of it. Either way--YOU WILL NOT REGRET GETTING THE NEW SERIES!!!!

Hi Shell--I've been doing IMAX1 for years and still haven't been able to do all the power scissors in interval 8 (I cheat a bit and do regular scissors when Cathe & the gang do the "slow" power scissors). Anyway, I did IMAX2 the entire way through today, and you'll be fine. It's as tough as IMAX1, but you can modify if you get pooped (interval 9 is a killer, just warning you). Plus you'll be having a blast, as it's great fun! I think of it as something to build up to. If you could do the entire thing with little effort the first time, it would get BORING and you would have no sense of accomplishment. Just knowing that you can get through part of it should be enough to make you proud of yourself. Let's face it: how many females in the US can do IMAX1?
By the way, I've lowered my step to 6" for all step work. Easier on my knees and my heartrate doesn't drop.
