Body Max 2 is definately an eat your wheeties workout! We Cathe fans have waited a long time for these new videos but they were well worth the wait! Body Max 2 is over 90 minutes long and the dvd has a lot of premix options on it to customize your workout and make them long or short.
I did the workout in its entirety. She starts off with a great warm up that could be a step routine. She then does step segments that really get your heart rate up. I believe there are 3 step sections and its almost half an hour long. next is a power circuit - you do a mini step routine repeated six times, followed by a blast that kicks it up a notch, and then she does leg work with weights (such as lunges, plie squats, barbell squats etc) There are four power circuits total.
After the power circuit, get ready to work some more. Cathe does weight work on and off the stability ball with 15 and 5 pound dumbbells but you can modify as needed. She works every part of your upper body, and yes..pushups are included. Finally you conclude with some great and challenging ab work with planks included. A nice stretch follows. There is even a bonus 6 minute cardio section but i didnt do it due to lack of time..plus i was tired! I did Low Impact Circuit yesterday and my butt has never been this sore! Cathe never fails to deliver. This is a great series!

Instructor Comments:
Cathe is always very pleasant and ready to work you hard. She has a great attitude and her cueing is excellent. She is my absolute favorite instructor.
