I thought I would start the review thread so everyone that ordered can contribute (and give info for others who didn't order or are still waiting).
This morning I did the Perfect Pump Lower Body + Pump Lower Body Bonus.
Equipment needed:
High Step (or regular step with four risers)
Dumbbells: 12 lb, 15 lb, 20 lb, 25 lb, 30 lb, and one 40 lb. (this is what Cathe and crew used, you can use what's appropriate for you for each exercise).
(2) small weight plates - used to elevate your heels or toes for a couple of exercises
Green band with handles - only used in the PLB Bonus
Each exercise is done for one set with a rep range of 12 or 10 reps (except the calf raises at the end).
Warmup was a combo of squats, side lunges, etc. without weights and then she has you do two sets of squats, deadlifts, and pulse lunges starting with 12 lb. dumbbells for the first set and 15 lb. dumbbells for the second set.

Thoughts:
I LOVED this workout! There is only one set of each exercise but they are either squats, deadlift, or lunge variations so you feel pretty worked out in the end. I really like the heavier weights too, it gives a good burn without so many reps. The PLB Bonus was a real butt burner, lol. Perfect addition at the end of the standing portion. Winner, winner Chicken Dinner!
