Cathe Friedrich's Imax 3

Non-stop and ultra-challenging, it features ten complete aerobic/anaerobic cycles. Each cycle begins with innovative step cardio followed by an off-step/high-impact “burst” and ends with a well-deserved active recovery. It's all carefully structured to maximize do-ability (e.g. the most complicated choreography is paired with the least intense cardio bursts). The mostly-in-the-air “burst” segments are the toughest; they range from plyo jacks and plié jacks to tuck jumps and standing jumps. With slightly shorter recovery periods, this program is a little harder than Cathe's Imax 2. Some recognizable-song vocal music. DVD offers pre-programmed workout options (e.g. all the step segments, without the “blasts”). ©2005.
