Cathe Pyramid Bonus

Kellie · 01-19-09, 08:24 AM

Would anyone out there who has done the bonus combo on the PUB/PLB DVD let me know what to expect? I have looked everywhere for a breakdown of the bonus and can't find it anywhere. I just received the DVD after having had PUB taped on VHS from the time I had Fit TV! I did both workouts yesterday with an "up" pyramid and really enjoyed them.

Thank you!

I'm pretty sure what you are referring it is the up pyramid only combining upper body and lower body. I believe it runs about 50 - 60 minutes. I really like this combo

See if this is what you're looking for:

Bonus Combo: upper and lower body (53:19)
warmup (4:26)
workout (44:43)
stretch (4:10)
This workout is title 10, and contains some upper body work from PUB and some standing leg work from PLB. All of the exercises follow the pyramid up format.This workout has no chapters. Here are the exercises included:
warmup from PLB
squats/plie squats sets 1-3
leg presses sets 1-3
chest: fly/press sets 1-3
back: pullover/rows sets 1-3
leg presses sets 1-3
lunges sets 1-3
shoulders: rear/side/front raise sets 1-3
deadlifts sets 1-3
calves
triceps: kickbacks/overhead extension sets 1-3
biceps: hammer curls/curls sets 1-3
stretch from PLB

Much appreciated! I hate doing a workout "cold" and this combo sounds like my cup of tea!

Thanks again!

I know, it almost gives me a dread factor!

Definite dread factor for me too. The last time I did it, the living room was strewn with ALL my dumbbells and barbell plates. Kick butt workout, though.

It's a great total body workout, one of my favorites with 3 sets of some of the key exercises from both workouts. 3 sets are enough for me anyway as I prefer to go heavy with 3 sets of the pyramids rather then 6 (or is it five?) with varied weights. :-) . Another Bonus workout I like is the one on her Bootcamp/Muscle endurance workout where she mixes exercises from both.

The Pyramid Bonus is one of my all-time favourite total body workouts. As was mentioned, three sets is more than enough, especially if you go heavy. And best of all, no nasty low-ends on ANY of the leg exercises! The only thing that keeps this workout from being perfect is that it doesn't include the stability ball abs section. But it's easy enough to tack on if you want to and you have the time.
