Question What is your current favorite Upper Body workout?

Lately, I'm really enjoying X-TrainFit: Toning with Karen Gentz. Laura wrote a very helpful review:

It is low-key and under 30 minutes. It's a good one to go heavy. Sometimes I make it into a pyramid-type workout. I like to do a bit of a longer warm-up than is in the video.

Karen is pleasant and has no annoying stupid jokes. That reduces any dread factor.

If I want something gentle, I do the UB from Jane Adams's Balance & Strength.
If I want to feel strong: UB from KCM's Cardio Pump.
If I want 10 min add-on: UB from Suzanne Bowen's Weight Watcher dvd

Cathe Lite Pyramid Pump Upper. In the AM I sometimes just do the up portion instead of up and down.

I was just about to say Cathe’s Stacked Upper Body. It’s a good one! No dread factor.

I was just thinking about this workout which I’ve had on my wish list for a while. Now that my surgeon has finally cleared me to do weight training again I may buy it.

That's one of my favorite high-rep workouts. No matter how light I go, the triceps work fries my triceps and they're sore for days!
