Pyramid Upper Body

Cathe Friedrich
Year Released: 2002

Categories: Balance/Medicine/Mini/Stability Ball, Upper Body Strength


Another great workout from Cathe. This one was definitely not easy. You work up the pyramid, then back down. By the time you hit your lightest weights at the end of the set, your muscles are shaking. I definitely felt thoroughly worked all over the upper body, but especially in the biceps. I used the same weight as Cathe & crew, and probably should have gone lighter, I KNOW I'm going to be sore tomorrow. Even Cathe struggles in this segment. She somehow manages to maintain her form and complete the entire pyramid. This one really flew by for me too. You're constantly changing weights as well as exercises, so before I knew it, it was over. The ab work at the end is TOUGH! You really have to have a good base level of core strength to get through it. I found that maintaining all those plank like stances after having completely fried my entire upper body was a huge challenge in itself.

Instructor Comments:
I love Cathe because she's just so REAL...she huffs and puffs right along with you. In this workout, you can tell she's really giving it her all.
