Bottoms Up! Upper Body

Year Released: 2001

This video is already well reviewed. I wanted to add my own opinion.

I'm a big fan of Joyce Vedral. She advocates gym-style, split weight training. Her weight training routines changed my body long before I ever bought my first workout video. When I stumbled across this forum, I saw that Joyce's videos seemed to generate a little disdain. That really surprised me. My hero! Who could dislike Joyce? I finally gave in to my curiosity and bought this video,

Well, I'm not going to kid you. The video disappointed me at first. It lacked ….. pizazz. No bells, no whistles. Joyce's video persona isn't nearly as engaging as her book persona.

But I did the workout and now I'm glad I did. WOW. I own the PS / BodyMax/ MIS upper body workout videos by Cathe, three upper body videos by Cory Everson, and one by Gilad. This is my first choice over the others. My upper body felt more pumped up after finishing this video than with any of the other videos. I've never experienced much soreness with my workout videos, but I could hardly MOVE for two days following this workout. Argggggghhh…. The trick is to go as heavy as you possibly can, of course - don't use 3 lb. weights throughout, as Joyce does. Go as heavy as you can, while using good form, of course.

A gem! This is one of those videos I'd grab if my house was on fire.
