Interval Max II is somewhat of a miracle - a super intense, TOUGH interval tape is thoroughly enjoyable and moves quickly! Interval Max (the original) is the toughest interval workout I've ever done. I like it, but a lot of people have commented that it isn't fun - the intervals are too repetative and the music is too faint. Well, Cathe tailored IMax II just for you! The music is wonderful. Right from the warm-up, you're ready to go and motivated. Cathe throws some familiar moves into the warm up like the Flying Angels from Step Fit! Next come the intervals! 10 of them. As opposed to the first Imax, which tended to alternate tough intervals with 'easier' ones right from the get go, Imax II is somewhat easier at first, but after the 4th interval, look out! There are just as many tough intervals in this one as there are in the 1st one, and the step is incorporated a lot more, so you can up your step height (while still staying safe, of course) and really challenge yourself! Interval 9 is probably the toughest - straddle hops (just like power hops from Cardio Kicks), jump twice, 2 jacks, then 8 plie jacks and start the whole thing over doing it a total of 6x's. It is hard, but so empowering when you're done. And the song playing during this interval is "Pina Colada"! Cathe has paid so much attention to detail this time around, music, brevity, fun choreography, it is all here. A+ yet again!

Instructor Comments:
Cathe is the best; personable, in tip top shape and someone who won't get on your nerves as she's telling you what to do at 5:00 a.m. (the time I workout).
