I tried Ramped Up Upper Body. It's a solid workout. I was pleasantly surprised how much time she spent on the back, especially compared with chest. Overall, I liked it but the pace was a tad quick for me. The premix selection gives lots of options.

i did the first premix for PHA and i loved it. i thought this was fun and effective- one of her best weight workouts for me- i like endurance & metabolic type workouts. i also like bootcamp a lot. so far this is one of my favorite sets. i also loved ICE.

I just finished doing Strong and Sweaty Boot Camp. I enjoyed it. It did not feel super advanced to me. It felt like some of her Live Workouts in terms of intensity. Granted, I had only one riser on my step instead of two, but that's actually high for me... I think I mostly matched Cathe's weights with this one, though I use dumbbells instead of a barbell. I also modify super high impact to lower impact, but the cardio moves in this are not ones I really needed to change that much.
I liked the new moves (quick transfer of dumbells during some squat/lunge moves) and the compound moves were, I'm so happy to say, not her usual lunge with tricep or bicep or squat with overhead press. She mixed things up and this was a fun, no-dread workout. I would recommend this to people who like ICE's intensity, because it can definitely be more of an intermediate workout. I think it can also be all out advanced if you use more risers, heavy up a bit more than I did on the weights, and don't modify to lower impact. I will definitely do this one again! It's a goody (Music volume seemed better than TB Giant Sets.) |

I just did PHA - whoa - that slayed me. I had to stop several times and rewind just to catch my breath. I find the Cathe Live PHA tough as well. I don't think I've every finished a PHA recently as a result. Hmmm, I might have to focus on premixes or else prepare myself mentally to do this workout - kinda reminds me of tabatacize - I have to mentally prepare for that one too. I enjoyed it, the moves, the outfits etc. It's a goodie and what a cardio effect!

I did both PHA and boot camp today
PHA had me sweating and my heart rate was Up there. I matched her weights or went heavier on some. I did boot camp right after and it felt challenging Boot camp was fun with lots of new moves The only one I haven't done yet is the ramped up upper body My favorites are cardio slam and boot camp so far Looking forward to the upper body one
