Cathe's Pyramid upper/lower body premix

I've had the VHS version of these two workouts probably since they came out. I did them in a rotation one summer and got excellent results. I finally acquired the DVD version about a year ago. I did the Bonus Premix this morning for the first time. WHAT A WORKOUT! It was great and I was sweating buckets. If you haven't tried it yet you should. It was a full body workout in about an hour. I went over the hour by 5 minutes because I had to pause a few times to gather equipment or to catch my breath.

I have since traded Pyramids but when I still owned it the total body premix was a big favorite and I did it often. Think I will try and get it back again..I have been thinking about it lately. Great workout! Many don't even know it is on the DVD. They are only aware of the U & L body premixes.

I did PUB on Monday. I just don't understand why Cathe hasn't done a PUB/PLB remake. These are fantastic and make your muscles really pop. And, everyone raves about them despite their age. I love this DVD(s) and reach for it more often than most. It's a keeper.

Oh, I miss the days when Cathe used to put two workouts on one DVD. I LOVE the bonus ME/BC workout on that DVD, love the PUB/PLB premix, love the Step Blast, SJ&P premixes - I could go on and on.

PLB used to be my very favorite lower body workout of all time (before I injured myself in a variety of ways). Can't wait to get back to it someday!

Good job by going over by only 5 minutes! During PLB, I used to take my sweet time pausing the DVD and changing the barbell (i.e. - catching my breath, drinking water, and resting!).

I think that bonus premix is my favorite Cathe strength workout ever and probably in my top 5 total body strength workouts. I agree, great workout, the time flies by, Cathe was at her best in that one.

I have had this workout forever and have yet to try this. Maybe because the LB uses heavier weights? I don't know but now I want to try it. Lol

I think it is more expensive because it has two workouts on one DVD.
So much more variety when Cathe did this.
She (Cathe) seems so happy and full of energy in this workout. It makes me
want to work out.
