Cathe Pyramid Pump Strength Training Upper and Lower Body Workout DVD for Women and Men - Use This Weightlifting DVD to Build, Sculpt and Tone Your Leg, Glutes, Back, Chest, Arms, and Shoulders

I love all of Cathe Friedrich’s workouts! If I said it once, I will say it again—she does not pander to women. She works you out like a man! I started with two other workouts in the LITE series (which I love) but I could barely walk after doing the LITE Strong Stacked Sets - Lower Body so I decided to try Pyramid Pump. It’s perfect! It is a pyramid workout which, to me, lessens the “dread” factor. It is much easier to think of doing 12, 10, 8, etc. step-ups than two sets of 30! This workout definitely challenged me, but I was not so sore the next day that I could barely walk. It is long, at 81 minutes, but I do the upper and lower segments in two separate sessions on the same day…much more doable. Finally, among the many things I love about Cathe is that she puts effort into production quality. Her set is nicely designed, she exercises with a group of women (I hate videos that have only the instructor exercising), and she has a pleasant and encouraging demeanor. She is polished! I used to be a dedicated Firm Believer; now, I am a Cathlete!

Great work out. Beginners can follow and advanced exercisers can get a great workout. Good price for Cathe dvds, she’s a terrific instructor

Did not care for the dvd as much as I was hoping to. Was very repetitive and got bored. The dvd had you doing the same rep about 60 times with different size weights

Great workout.

Another good workout from Cathe. But unfortunately this DVD skips so badly, I have a difficult time playing it all the way through. I contacted the company about the prolbem. Sent in the damaged one. And they sent me a replacement DVD. But unfortunately they recorded this Cathe workout DVD, on digital tv and was going in and out as digital does as it loses it strength. And so their master copy is messed up. I know this because the second one they sent me SKIPS IN ALL THE SAME PLACES AS THE FIRST ONE!!! I didn't bother to contact the company. Why bother? They should have known this from the get go. Or at least should have proof watched it just to insure it was a good/undamaged DVD to sell. I still use this DVD. But I constantly have to restart it over and over again having to skip all the way back to where I was when it froze. Buyer beware!

I love all of her workouts. But the biggest problem is is those slide things for your feet. We don’t all have a wood gymnasium floor and I wish you would create more videos without that aspect. It just aggravates me because I can’t even do the work out.
