Cathe Perfect 30 Perfect Pump Upper & Lower Body Home Strength Training Workout DVD - Use to Tone and Sculpt Your Legs, Upper Body, Back, Chest, Arms, and Shoulders

There are 2 30- minute workouts on this DVD, as well as bonus few extra minutes to add for each of the 2 workouts (upper/ lower body), an extended stretch and a core bonus. I should have understood that " perfect 30" refers to the workouts' length... As I did not, the format was a bit surprising and disappointing at first, as I am used to her routines to be exhausting also due to their duration and usually full- body parts exercises ( that is to say : upper/ lower not kept separate but worked simultaneously). Here, upper and lower are kept separate (the unavoidable pushups being the exception). I do like this DVD, but will need to use very heavy weights to get a sense of hard- earned accomplishment with this routine (the cardio factor not being prominent here). The core bonus offers new, different moves, but actually felt more like a stretch to me! The extended stretch is not that extended, and the overall feel for this Perfect Pump is " business as usual": Move on from one exercise to the next quickly " all right?" and pretty much effortlessly when you look at Cathe and faithful exercisers Jay and Brenda. However, as always, you may count on professionalism, good cues, and effectiveness. The moves are simple to follow, allowing for focus on form, which is great when lifting heavy --- that's the way I am going to use this DVD. You do need therefore a bunch of equipment if you don't have a home gym! I either need to buy more dumbells or work with my heavy plates...It's not always practical nor is it best for form. Still! Good DVD, but " expensive " and professional--- true C. Friedrich---- fitness doesn't come for free and you must focus and commit.

These videos are awesome. I am capable of doing these workouts with hand weights and things from home. And I feel stronger along with better posture.

I have several of Cathe's video's, this one is really good, I use the Premix for bonus options for upper and lower body to add a few more minutes to the workouts and really heavy up. Some of her video's she talks too much and it's annoying after you've heard the same thing a dozen times.

Awesome workout that gets a lot done in a short time!

I tried the video out this morning. This is also a great workout for a man even though the video participants are all women. The routines are easy to follow. Furthermore, the weight selections are variable and up to the individuals. Felt great and pumped after the workout

I love Cathy! She is the real deal. Her workouts yield great results and are really challenging and at the same time diverse for the beginner or the experienced workout routines.

These are pretty tough workouts. I do both when I do it. I have to get some weights from my son workout room because she goes up to 40lb weights. You will see more muscle definition for sure if you do this regularly. It obviously gets easier the more you do it as well. Highly recommend!

I wish the videos had a clock timer on them so you had an idea wheee you are in the workout. My first video of hers that I bought to mix up my routine. I think these were too short and too easy coming from Body Breast/P90X but they do mix it up with a cardio feel. Probably better for woman that aren’t really fit already.
