Cathe LITE Reviews

[cecififi]

I have done both the lower body premix and the upper body premix (twice) on Pyramid pump and love them both! I love Cathe's pyramid workouts! I enjoyed the lower body and the upper body stacked workouts too.

Now I am sort of wishing I had bought the Pyramid dvd. It seems to be well liked.

Sherry: I tried the pyramid up full body premix on Tuesday. I liked it but did not use gliders on all of the leg work, skipped the cross back lunges and next time I'll sub something for the front raises as I spend too much time as a desk jockey and fight slumping posture, so more anterior delt work is not welcome. It was enjoyable, Cathe goes relatively light and you can make it your own and sub whatever you want in my opinion if an exercise doesn't work for you.

Thank you for the information. I would definitely skip using gliders. I want to see how much I use the rest of the set before buying it.

My favorites are PHA2, Lower Body Stacked, and Metabolic Blast. Pyramids, I felt, had too much lunge and squat work and moved a touch too fast. Have not done Bodyweight and Bands.

Thanks Helen for the breakdown!

I did PHA2 and I was a huge fan of PHA1 so I was hoping I'd feel more of the same. Surprisingly the move for glutes only using 8 lbs I am FEELING today. Wowza! I used the same weights as Cathe, but went heavier with biceps. I surprised myself because I haven't really lifted in a long time.

I should add that I've only done the upper body from Pyramid Pump. I still have to try the lower body.
