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.

5 of 5 Grew on me July 19, 2014
Reviewer: Suzanne from Arlington, VA United States  
The first time I tried this workout, I disliked it because I wasn't patient in terms of learning the choreography. The second time I gave it a shot, I loved it and now it's a treat to do it. I do it with one riser and I still get my HR in the working zone. The choreography, once mastered, is fun, and the blasts are good but not killer.

4 of 5 Good for low impact July 10, 2014
Reviewer: Bells  
I found this workout to be too easy and slow for my taste.  I have all of Cathe's workouts and prefer others over this one.  I did modify to make it more of a high impact workout, which helped, however I still found it slow - kept looking at the clock.  I still gave it 4 stars because I think it is better than other non-cathe workouts I have, but not as good (i.e. my style) as her other awesome workouts.

5 of 5 Low impact, high intensity step at its best! June 19, 2010
Reviewer: Nancy from Canada  
I love this step workout!!  Don't let the name fool you - it is low impact, high intensity step at its best.  At 70 minutes with 7 step combos and intensity blasts, you will be working hard!

The intensity blasts are great lower body workouts and the step combos are fun and challenging.  Some of the moves can be tricky at first if you are not used to Cathe but if you watch the workout a few times first, you'll get the hang of it in no time.

The premixes are also great when you are short on time or if you want to build up to the entire workout.

Great cardio workout! Produces strong, sculpted core, legs and glutes! Gets heart rate high and keeps it there. Keeps you moving and doesn't get boring.

This workout is great for the days you want a challenge but would like to give your joints a rest from high impact.
