Description Equipment Needed Premixes
 

Low Max is a 70 minute High Intensity Low Impact workout performed on an 8 inch step height (this height is optional and no higher than 8 inches is recommended). The workout begins with an 8 minute warm up and is followed by 7 low impact step combo's alternated with 7 low impact intensity blasts. A 6 minute stretch completes the workout. All of the step combo's are approximately 5 minutes in length and all of the intensity blasts are approximately 3 minutes in length. The combo's are broken down with just enough learning curve so that they do not become overly repetitive for future workouts.

 Step Combo #1....You will see some mambo's, pivot turns, rock horse variations and things of this nature.
Blast #1....Low impact defensive squats with rhythmic changes and patterns to bring the heart rate up while shaping the thighs.

Step Combo #2...A more athletic/kickbox step approach with dynamic movements.
Blast #2....A long series of rhythmic lunge kicks that will surely elevate the heart rate a shape the legs.

Step Combo #3....Slightly intricate step choreography with a bit more learning curve included. This has some triple steps, step sweeps, pivots, slap claps etc.
Blast #3....Dynamic outer thigh movements and sculpting drills.

Step Combo #4....a slightly tricky combo but easy to catch on.
Blast #4......Slam It's and leg drills

Step Combo #5.....A straight forward combo consisting of high leg kicks and other moves
Blast #5.....high intensity leg drills with a few variations

Step Combo #6....a fun march, mambo, and shuffle combo.
Blast #6....low speed skaters, hammer punch lunges and other low dynamic moves

Step Combo #7....A fun and unique kickbox combo that is a little tricky but worth the effort
Blast #7....Tap n side kicks followed by low reaching lunges. Cool Down & Stretch: A two minute cooldown followed by a 6 minute stretch.

Music: Bk Howe Productions A mix of mostly recognizable top 40, dance, and club music. Both instrumental and lyrical mixes make this upbeat and energetic soundtrack a perfect compliment to the workout.

Clothes: All outfits are by "Oh My Bod" with the exception of Cathe's pants (Bluefish) Cedie's black tank (Hotskins)

This is my new workout! February 6, 2010
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Wayne, PA United States  
I've done Cathe's basic step for years and was ready for something more challenging.  This is it!  The steps were not too hard to pick up - by themselves, the steps are pretty easy, but it goes quickly.  I just do 2 or 3 intervals 3 times a week (and I rest in between each interval:).  It's great cardio and great for legs and glutes.  I love that there are countless ways you can mix up the intervals, and thereby keep your muscles guessing.  This is a lot of fun and I actually look forward to my workout!  Thanks, Cathe!  Feb. 6, 2010  Here is an update:  I have lost 9 lbs, 2 inches off my hips and waist, and can now do 4 or 5 intervals in one workout!  The first time I did this 3 months ago, the warm-up left me huffing and puffing!  I'm much stronger and toned now and it's only been 3 months.  Awesome workout!

Difficult to follow, too dancy... November 4, 2009
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Bellefonte, PA United States  
I'm an avid athlete with many years of experience in Step Training and I find this workout difficult to follow with all of the dance moves, turns and redirection. In this particular workout, Cathe does not cue her audience very well and by the time you pick up the sequence, you're into the next dancy sequence and your stepping with the wrong feet.

I don't have time to slow the DVD down and take my time to learn the dance steps. It does look like fun but I prefer Cathe's other DVD's where the cueing is more instructional and actually builds the sequence effectively.

Remembering how fun step can be! March 31, 2008
Reviewer: Jennifer Bonnell from St. John's, NL Canada  
Just tried LowMax for the first time yesterday - did the premix with just the combos, as I was still recovering from MuscleMax the day before!

I had a great time with this DVD - I haven't done step for a few years now, and was a bit worried about getting back into it, but I really enjoyed the workout. Cathe's cueing is great, and by the end I was really in the groove.  I love that I can do a hard cardio workout without putting any strain on my joints/feet.

My husband poked his head in during one combo and commented on how complicated it looked, but that's just one of the reasons I like step- the patterns keep you thinking and take you through great ranges of motion for your whole body.  Can't wait to do it again with the blasts!

Fun! October 23, 2007
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Silver Spring, MD United States  
This workout was so much fun, and the time flew right by. The blasts all concentrated on legs and glutes, and you could really feel it. Despite the low impact, it was great exercise and you could add a jump here or there if you wanted to raise the impact. The music was fun, and I felt like I was exercising with friends in a friendly, fun atmosphere. I can't wait to do this workout again. Thanks, Cathe!

Very Challenging!!! August 10, 2007
Reviewer: Dee from Rock Hill, NY United States  
This is a very tough workout!! Do not think for a moment that because this is low impact it is easy. After all, we are still dealing with  a drill sargent named Cathe ;). I  thought this would be an "easier" workout to add to my daily cardio routines...how absolutely mistaken I was. Along with great cardio, this workout is a great endurance workout for the legs. Love it and can't wait for Low Max 2 (hint hint).
