This video is worth every and any penny you spend for it. It is a complete high intensity workout. First it's a short warm up followed by an intense step section (about 30 minutes all together). Next it's power circuit segments interspersed with endurance exercises for your legs. For example, 1 minute intense stepping, 1 minute power stepping (shoot ups, power scissors, etc.) and then 1 minute weights (plie squats, lunges, etc.). This section lasts about 20 minutes. After a short cool down you do a complete upper body conditioning section. You use lighter weights and do more reps with less rest. Finally, a 9 minute killer ab section followed by a brief cool down and stretch.

This is a great video to do all at once or to break up to combine with other videos. Currently, I like doing the legs from MIS and then the first two Body Max segments on my leg training days. Then I do the upper body and abs on an upper body day.

I like the fact that the step sections are intense without being too complicated in their choreography. This is a great tape to use for cross training and for breaking through those plateaus!

Instructor Comments:
Cathe is a down to earth, motivating, professional instructor. She cues very well in this video and made it easy for me to do the first time through.
