Imax2 on 6 inch step

[rugrat]

I'm do Imax 2 once a week for 6 months on the 4 inch step. Well I moved the step up to 6 inches on Saturday and thought I was going to die! Those who do Imax 2 did you start on the 6 inch step or did you work your way up? Do I need to conquer Imax 2 with the 6 inch step before moving on to Imax 3?

Any help would be appreciated!!

When moving up the step height, you may want to just try doing a couple of the intervals at 6-inches. Imax 2 is easy to do this way, since the first 4 intervals are somewhat easier (intensity wise). Maybe each week try doing, just one more interval at the next height.

ETA: Be very cautious on interval blast #6 (straddle tap repeaters) when you up the step height!!!!! This one is tricky when you are accustomed to a lower step!

Imax 3 is a completely different creature, because the choreography is more complex and Cathe moves so quickly. I would definitely take Imax 3 in baby steps and learn it on a lower step and then work your way up to a higher step.

FYI - I do Imax and Imax 3 on a 6 inch step and Imax 2 on an 8 inch step. Most of us will tell you that Imax 2 is a little easier than the other two.

Good Luck,
