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.
