Body Max (BM)!

Today I did Body Max for the first time.  I had traded for this 3 workout DVD awhile ago and it has been siting on my shelf. Anyway Body Max is a approx. 90 min (yes I said 90 min.) advanced cardio/sculpt workout lead by Cathe Friedrich. This is one tough workout.  The first segment is all step cardio section to pre-exhaust your legs that has 3 combos you learn and then put together.  The second segment is a Power Circuit Segment the will just finish your legs off.  This segment consist of 5 cycles of a short cardio step combo, a blast section and lower body weights section.  The next section is all upper body work.  Pretty much if you choose the right weights, you won't be able to move your arms either after this section.  Finally is Abs and a short stretch.

I did liked this workout but want to compare it to her more resent Body Max 2 workout she released in 2006.  She released the first Body Max in 2001 (I think).  I find I like Body Max 2 a lot more than the first Body Max.  I found the cardio more challenging and fun in BM2.  Plus She had much better music in BM2.  I did like the fact that I was able to get all of the choreography down in BM the first try and just by listening to her ques.  Usually I have to watch the TV and do a lot of rewinding.  I will be doing BM again and I am glad I got it in trade.  I give it 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.
