Maximum Intensity Cardio is INTENSE and for advanced exercisers only! You start off with 30-35 minutes of high/low aerobics and finish with about 35 minutes of power stepping. Cathe manages to keep the intensity high by loading the high/low section with lots of plyo jumps, jumping jacks, and kicks. The choriography is very basic and easy to follow but this is one of the things I really liked about the video because the routine allows you to concentrate on the intensity and you don't waste time trying to figure out the moves, which for me cuts down on the intensity level.

The stepping segment of this video takes the intensity down just a notch in the begining to give you a little breather but that soon changes. At the end, Cathe has you doing an "interval blast" which is sure to really rev that heart rate up. Once again, the moves are not complex and after the tough high/low section, the last thing you want to do is concentrate on learning tough moves.

If you don't have a lot of space to workout, this is a really great video. Cathe shows you that you don't have to be dancing all over the place to get in a really tough workout.

This video is definitely a keeper for me. Keep up the good work Cathe.

Instructor Comments:
Cathe is an excellent instructor. Her routines are complex but with Cathe's excellent cuing, almost anyone can catch on. She is also an excellent choriographer and her routines are always fun. Know for her step aerobics videos, Cathe shows us another tallent in this video -- high/low aerobics.
