Rave I found my KCM weight workout!!

[PrairieGem]

I haven't been around the boards for ages, since my 'rotation' the last several months has been walking and running when I get a chance. But last week one day I had the abrupt, visceral NEED for a new workout DVD, and it needed to be Kelly, and it had to be weights--NEVER MIND that I have at least 10 of her DVDs, and I don't like the weight work on any of them! On a total whim, I ordered Cardio Pump... and it's the weights workout I've been looking for!

Basic, old-school moves, whole body, a good steady pace with a logical progression, and just the right amount of reps. She alternates upper and lower body moves--three minutes on each body part, three different (totally recognizable, "gym style") moves, and you use a progressively smaller weight for each move. Frex, for the butt you do deadlifts with heavy weights, then sumo squats with medium weights, then reverse lunges with lights. (She calls it pyramid training, but it's not the pyramid training I'm familiar with from Body for Life and Cathe, where you do the same move, but lower your weights and increase your reps.) Since it was a new workout for me, I used the same weight throughout, and it would be really simple to just pick your own weights OR follow the pyramid format.

The only teeny tiny sticking point is that three minutes is a LOT of biceps work, and I have tendonitis in my shoulder. I need to figure out an alternate move, do some cardio, or just skip that section. I realized at the very end that it seems to be chaptered by body part, so I might be able to just skip right ahead.

I'm sure y'all went over and over this one when it came out, but I am psyched! I really like Kelly but haven't found a favorite intermediate workout from her yet (although I the cardio and warmup from Start Here). Now I'm looking forward to trying the cardio segment, too; I've never done any of her boxing workouts, but I know you guys love 'em.
